Why Insulation Matters in the Winter

There’s no doubt about it, winter can be downright unpleasant at times. With the chilly temperatures, potential for snow and less daylight, it can keep us all dreaming of warm summer days!

While we wait for those days to arrive once more, it is important that your home is ready to handle the harsh conditions of the winter season.

Your Home Deserves a Warm Blanket, Too

The colder it gets, the harder your insulation and HVAC systems have to work in order to keep your family comfortable. If your insulation is wornout, your furnace will have to work harder to provide you with the same benefits.

By insulating your home or addressing areas that need to be upgraded, you are taking some of the pressure off of your home! Durable insulation can provide your home with the protection it needs for years to come. It can also extend the life of your HVAC system, which can save you money in the long run.

Keep More Money in Your Pocket

You are already spending enough money on your monthly utility bill! Any time you crank on the heat, you probably see dollar signs flash before your eyes. When your home isn’t properly insulated, it could be costing you even more money without any added benefit.

If your walls or attic aren’t insulated properly, they can be welcoming the winter temperatures in and can actually lose the heat directly through those areas. It seems like a vicious cycle, doesn’t it?

This problem can be easily remedied with some added or new insulation. Blown-in insulation can be a great way to pad the hard to reach areas of your attic, while batt insulation can be an easy way to ensure a new wall is insulated completely.

Insulation Can Prevent Mold and Other Damage

In addition, your home can be vulnerable to mold infestations or water damage if you are constantly dealing with moisture issues.

These situations are not always easily noticeable as they could be occurring behind a wall or in a space in your attic that you rarely visit. By the time you do notice the problem, it could be too late or have caused irreversible damages.

By adding new insulation to your home, you are helping control your humidity levels and moisture issues. This is especially important in the winter, as we experience rain frequently and snow on occasion.

If your home remains at a more consistent temperature from day to day, condensation can’t form and linger. No moisture equals no mold!
