Reduce Bills with Insulation
When it comes to attic insulation the right home improvement project, re-insulating your house is a cost-effective and high-return option. According to Remodeler Magazine’s annual “Cost vs. Value” report, adding fiberglass attic insulation has one of the best returns on investment of any home upgrade—reaching an ROI of 117%.
The reason that insulation has such a great return on investment is because it helps to minimize energy waste, which is typically caused by air leakage and drafts. When heated or cooled air is lost from your home, your HVAC system has to work overtime to maintain your desired indoor temperature. By air sealing and insulating strategic areas like your attic, foundation and basement, you can dramatically decrease the energy used to heat and cool your home, which cuts your utility costs.
Aside from reducing energy consumption, insulation also provides a quieter indoor space by minimizing air flow and sound transmission between levels. Insulation is available in many different forms, so you can choose the type that is best for your home’s needs, based on R-Value and location.
