Insulation Is the Key to a Comfortable Home

When you think about your home, you probably focus on all of the things inside of it that make it great! Your family, your pets, your furniture and favorite possessions all are important parts of what makes a house a home.

But whether you think about it or not, your insulation is also a key factor! It works hard every day under your floors, in your ceilings and behind your walls to keep your loved ones comfortable and cozy during each season.

Insulation 101

The main goal of insulation is to control the heat flow in and around your home. Without generating its own heat, it works by slowing the flow of heat transfer through its materials.

Just like your favorite cozy blanket, it helps keep you at a comfortable temperature without making the indoor air too hot or too cold.

If your insulation is not installed correctly or you don’t have enough of it in your home, you will experience temperature fluctuations and hot or cold spots throughout your house. An underinsulated home also carries a higher risk of experiencing moisture troubles and air leaks. If your home isn’t protected against the elements, the elements will eventually make their way inside and cause chaos like mold, mildew and water damage to occur.

Insulation for Every Season

Another important thing to remember about insulation is that it is crucial during every season! Many people associate insulation with staying warm in the winter, but it also has a very important job in the summer.

The summer months can get hot in the south, especially in Texas. If your home has the right insulation installed, it will be more efficient at keeping the outdoor heat from getting inside your home.

Even as the summer temperatures reach their peak, your insulation is hard at work keeping your home and your family as cool and as comfortable as needed. One thing that we love about insulation is that you don’t need to do anything to it in order for it to work in the summer versus the winter. The same process helps keep you warm in the winter and cooler in the summer!

The Benefits Don’t Stop There

A comfortable home is a happy home. While a desirable home temperature is one of the things we pride ourselves on, it isn’t the only benefit of upgrading your insulation.

If you have the right type of insulation installed, you can actually cut down on noise transfer from room to room. It can also dampen the noise of your next door neighbors or the bark of that pesky dog across the street.
