What is Home Performance?

Home performance is a holistic approach to improving the energy efficiency, comfort, and health of your home. It involves taking a comprehensive look at your home's systems and making improvements that will work together to create a more comfortable and energy-efficient home. One of the key components that can help to improve the performance of your home is insulation.

First, insulation can help to keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This can lead to reduced energy bills, as you will not need to use your heating and cooling systems as often. Second, insulation can help to improve the comfort of your home by keeping your home at a consistent temperature. This can reduce drafts and make your living space more comfortable. Third, insulation can help to protect your home from damage. By keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, you can reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth.

There are other benefits to home performance, including:

• Increasing Home Value. Home performance improvements can increase the value of your home.

• Protecting The Environment. Home performance improvements can help you reduce your carbon footprint and protect the environment.

If you're interested in improving the performance of your home, your energy company can help.  Start by contacting Eversource or your utility company for an energy audit. Eversource’s Energize CT program issues customer rebates for energy efficiency upgrades to qualified customers. This includes rebates for upgrading insulation. The Energize CT auditor will perform a thorough home performance audit. This audit will identify areas where your home can be improved and recommend specific improvements that will reduce your energy bill. See our blog post to learn more about the Energize CT rebate program.

If you are considering making improvements to your home, insulation is a great place to start. It is a relatively inexpensive and easy way to improve the performance of your home and save money on your energy bills. Contact Koala Insulation of Central CT for a Free Insulation Evaluation.
