When a homeowner is considering adding insulation to their home, the first thing they typically consider is adding insulation to their attic. While doing so can indeed make a huge impact on their home’s overall energy efficiency, it’s not the only place that added insulation can be a huge help. If you want your home to benefit from the many advantages of insulation, such as saving up to hundreds of dollars on energy bills and reducing the chance of moisture causing long-term structural damage, then we’d encourage you to consider other areas of your home as well.

Following is a partial list of other areas of your home that may benefit from added insulation. After you’ve learned more about the options, reach out to Progressive Insulation & Windows at (800) 500-6200 for a free in-home consultation. We can also do a complete energy audit so that you know what areas of your home could be improved for add efficiency.

Crawlspaces are great areas to add insulation

Many people never think about the crawlspaces in their home, but they are prime candidates for spray foam insulation. Without insulation, your heating and cooling system will be working overtime to get it heated or cooled. You’ll also be dealing with potential issues of moisture building up, which can both damage the structure of your home and decrease the energy quality in your home. Insulate crawlspaces if you want to protect your heating and cooling system, protect the integrity of your home, and protect the air quality in your home.

If you add a new room then you should add insulation

When a person adds a room to their home, they often don’t think about applying insulation to it. These rooms don’t magically have enough insulation just because other rooms around them do. When you add spray foam insulation, you’re creating an air barrier that will help keep the temperature comfortable in your new room. Insulating it correctly also helps ensure that the temperature is consistent with other rooms in your home, which increases overall comfort.

Entertainment and media rooms need insulation

One of the main purposes of insulation is to help keep temperatures consistent but that’s not its only purpose. It can also help prevent sound from traveling from one room to another. This is why extra insulation in an entertainment or media room may be a great idea. You can enjoy movies, music, etc. at the volume you want without worrying that it’s keeping everyone in the home up at night.
