Want to Boost Your Home Value? Insulate! | Koala Insulation of GR

The housing market has certainly gone on quite the adventure over the last few years, and if you are a homeowner, you are probably glad that you have locked into your interest rate in previous years and are ready to sit tight for a while.

In this seller’s market, you want to make sure your home offers the best value no matter when or if you plan to sell, and a few different home upgrades can help you do this. Insulating your home is one of the easiest ways to boost your home value without having to do any sort of major construction or renovation.

Insulation’s Energy Efficiency

Having an energy-efficient home is quickly becoming one of the top trends in the housing market today. We are all looking for ways to save money and reduce our carbon footprint, and insulation can easily help you do this.

It directly impacts your energy bills because it helps lessen the strain on your heating and cooling system throughout the year. If your home is more resistant to temperature swings or the outside elements, your HVAC system will get a much-needed break.

That break will directly lower your bills and make your home more efficient all around. It can even support the longevity of your equipment if it is not constantly running all day every day. Just be sure to highlight this fact when you list your home!

Insulation and Comfort

We all want cozy homes, right? So why would you want to put your home on the market if you struggle with drafts, hot spots or temperature control issues?

Taking care of your insulation upgrade now will ensure your home stays warm in the winter and cooler in the summer. We can even tackle air leaks and drafts before you list your home so it becomes more airtight against the elements.

Insulation and Reliability

We all need our homes to be reliable for us, and insulation is one of the most important aspects of this. Having air leaks or a home that air escapes out of too quickly can create unreliable temperatures and hot or cold spots.

This can lead to drafts, moisture issues or even structural problems. If mold starts to grow, your home could be suffering from reduced air quality and it can even start to degrade your walls and beams.

In addition, a leaky home or one that cannot control energy transfer efficiently can easily become a home to your neighborhood critters. Pests can degrade your insulation, damage your attic and eventually make their way throughout your home and cause issues elsewhere.

Choosing the Right Solution

Now that you have decided to upgrade your insulation, you have to do it right in order to ensure your home value is affected. All of our insulation materials shine in different ways, and some can even be the wrong choice depending on your home and your needs.

Not to worry! Koala Insulation of Grand Rapids is here to ensure you are well taken care of. We will assess your home and help you choose the right insulation material for your budget and home.
