Beat the Heat With New Insulation | Koala Insulation of Hickory

As we enjoy the spring season here in Hickory, we have a lot to look forward to in the coming months as well. The summer season in North Carolina is a pleasant time of year with nice weather and tons of activities to keep you busy.

The summer months also mean hotter temperatures! Insulating your home now can set you up nicely ahead of those hot summer days so you can stay cool as a cucumber in your home.

Let Your Insulation Do the Heavy Lifting

If your home has proper insulation, it will work efficiently at keeping the hot temperatures outside and the cooler temperatures inside. Insulation slows the heat transfer process and encourages the air already inside your home to circulate more effectively.

A poorly insulated home experiences a rapid transfer of heat, meaning that your home will quickly warm up with the heat of the day and cause your entire family to be uncomfortable. When your HVAC system is alerted to the rising heat, it will kick on the AC to help bring it down.

This cycle will happen over and over until your insulation is fixed. When you add insulation, it slows this process down and gives your HVAC system the break it deserves. They can work hand in hand instead of fighting against each other.

Get the Most Out of Your Installation

Another benefit of choosing the spring season to upgrade your insulation is that you get to enjoy the benefits of a cooler home all summer, not just only a few months of it if you wait until June or July. Additionally, if your insulation is installed now, your energy bills will be lower starting right away. Who doesn’t want more money in their pocket in the summertime?

If you are a seasonal allergy sufferer, new insulation can actually help ease your symptoms as well. A poorly insulated house can invite pollen and other allergens into the air you breathe. You already experience enough of your symptoms outside, so let’s work together to keep you as comfortable as possible inside your home.

Where to Add Insulation

To get started, all you have to do is schedule a free evaluation of your home’s current insulation. Our professional crew will come out to your house and work their magic to help determine areas that need an insulation boost. This simply means that our team has identified parts of your home that are vulnerable to energy transfer.

Many times, adding some insulation to your attic can make a big difference in the comfort of your home! Attics can easily get up to 150 degrees in the summer months without the proper level of insulation, and that can cause a whole list of issues from moisture troubles to mold infestations.
