Proper Insulation Can Reduce Your Energy Bills
Most US homeowners pay more for home heating and cooling than they pay to power all of the other electronic devices in their homes combined. If your home is not fully (or not properly) insulated, you could save 20-50% on your monthly energy bills by having WeatherGard's expert installers fit your home with the appropriate attic and/or wall insulation.
Proper Home Insulation Benefits the Environment
Because a substantial share of homes in the US are poorly insulated, a large amount of the nation's yearly energy budget—800 trillion BTUs, according to a recent Harvard University study—is wasted on unnecessary heating and cooling. This waste contributes to carbon emissions and to air pollution problems more generally. Insulating your home helps to reduce this waste and is therefore a great way to do something good for you and your family, as well as for the environment.
Attic & Wall Insulation Improves Comfort
WeatherGard attic and wall insulation can eliminate the hot and cold spots which linger in many poorly insulated homes during the summer and winter months by ensuring that conditioned air can circulate through the home evenly and effectively. This helps to keep every part of your living space heated or cooled to your liking, regardless how intense the cold or heat may be outside.
Proper Insulation Prevents Roof Damage
A poorly insulated attic often leads to more serious problems than an eye-popping monthly energy bill. Because heat escapes from poorly insulated homes primarily through the attic and roof, snow and ice which build up on the roof can begin to melt from underneath. Water then becomes trapped between a layer of ice and the surface of the roof, in a process known as ‘ice damming.’ This can cause leaks, requiring costly repairs or even replacement of your roof. In Michigan, this problem is the #1 cause for home owner’s insurance claims.
Proper Insulation Extends the Life of Your Heat & AC Systems
Poor insulation forces both heating and cooling systems to run more often and for longer periods of time. By installing attic and/or wall insulation you can eliminate this unnecessary burden on your heating and air conditioning systems, and thereby extend their lifespan.
