There are a lot of reasons to love spring. From the comfortable temperatures to the flowers blooming everywhere, it’s many people’s favorite time of year. It’s also the time of year that most people are thinking about their air conditioners and aren’t thinking much about their home’s insulation. The reality is that this may be the best time to have your insulation checked and increased.

The importance of attic insulation

First and foremost, let’s go over the reasons that attic insulation is so important. It’s common for homes in this area to not have any insulation at all, but the truth is that this can cause serious issues. Insulation is best known for keeping heat inside during the winter, but it also keeps cool air inside during the summer. It can make your home more comfortable when it’s cold and can help regulate temps when it’s humid.

Attic insulation is also a great part of an energy saving plan. At Progressive Insulation & Windows, we have seen many homeowners significantly reduce the costs of heating and cooling their homes just by adding attic insulation and this is never truer than in summer when you have the air conditioning on. In addition to keeping the temperature in your home at ideal levels, it can also address fire hazards, a leaking roof, and ventilation problems.

Remember that heat moves up and will go through your ceiling. It can then get out through gaps or leaks in your attic. If you have proper insulation, that won’t be a problem. Even if you currently have insulation, it may not be quite enough. The best option is to contact Progressive Insulation & Windows at (800) 500-6200 and as for a free in-home consultation. We can take a look at what you have and offer our honest assessment of your options to improve.
