Here are ten interesting facts about insulation and energy efficiency:
- Heating and cooling account for up to 50-70% of the energy used in an average home, and insulation can help reduce this energy usage.
- Insulation is measured in R-value, which indicates its ability to resist heat flow. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation.
- Adding insulation to your home can help you save up to 20% on your energy bills.
- Insulation not only helps keep your home warm in the winter, but it also helps keep it cool in the summer by reducing the transfer of heat into your home.
- The most common types of insulation are fiberglass, cellulose, and spray foam.
- The thickness of insulation needed varies depending on the climate and region. For example, colder climates require thicker insulation to keep homes warm.
- Properly installed insulation can also improve indoor air quality by reducing the infiltration of outdoor pollutants and allergens.
- Insulation can also help reduce noise levels inside the home by absorbing sound.
- Older homes are often poorly insulated, which means they can benefit greatly from additional insulation to improve energy efficiency.
- In addition to saving money on energy bills, adding insulation to your home can also increase its resale value.
