3 Reasons to Insulate Your Home in the Spring

Insulating your home during any season will provide your house with a variety of benefits, but we particularly encourage homeowners to tackle this project before the summer heat arrives. Springtime is a great time to address your home's insulation needs, and we explain why below.

Summer Is Coming

It’s hard to believe, but we are quickly approaching the warm summer season! While that is exciting for many, your home may not be looking forward to it.

In the heat of the summer, temperatures in the Chattanooga area can easily get upward of 90 degrees. For an improperly insulated attic, that spells bad news!

By adding insulation to important areas around your home, like your attic, you can help control the thermostat and temperature throughout your home without battling the heat. Insulation helps slow down the heat transfer from the outside in, so you can be comfortable all season long.

Keep Out Allergens

Spring is also the time for seasonal allergies! While you might not think about it, your insulation plays a role in the severity of your allergy symptoms.

An underinsulated home can easily introduce dust, pollen or other allergens into your home and into the air you breathe. If you have particularly frustrating allergies, this can cause you to feel pretty miserable.

New insulation and air sealing up any gaps around your home can help reduce this problem! It can also just improve the air quality in your home in general. If the allergens can’t make their way inside, you can stay comfortable, and hopefully sneeze-free.

Save Money and Time

By insulating your home now, you are setting your house up for success all summer long. You get to enjoy the benefits of a cooler home, lower bills and all around higher comfort every day of the hot summer months. In addition, the summer season is often the busiest time for insulation requests, so get ahead of the rush and get it done now.

Our Koala team can perform a free evaluation of your home and determine the areas that could use a boost of insulation. From there, we formulate a plan and discuss with you the best material for the job. When all is said and done, a cozier, cooler home awaits!
