How Your Insulation and HVAC System Benefit Each Other | Koala Insulat

We are all so busy these days, and we rely on our homes to always be there for us as we run in and out of them from work, school, lessons, practices and family events. In the midst of all this organized chaos, your home quietly works behind the scenes to keep your air comfortable, clean and flowing through your home in an efficient way.

Your home’s systems need to work together in order to do this, which means everything has to run smoothly. The relationship between your HVAC system and your insulation is important in accomplishing this, and we explain more below!

Why Insulation Matters to Your HVAC System

You know that your HVAC system has the important job of moving air through your home. Whether it is sending out cool air on a hot summer day or heating up your home in the dead of winter, it is always working to keep your home at the comfortable temperature you set it at. Once your system senses a change in temperature, it starts working immediately to bring that temperature back to baseline for you.

That’s where your insulation comes into play! A poorly insulated house is going to lose all of that conditioned air quickly. Once it is introduced to your home, it will escape out of your walls, floors and attic without any sort of control.

That comfortable air will be replaced by the outside air, and that change will trigger your HVAC system to kick on and replace it once more. This cycle will continue day after day and become a big strain on your system.

How to Support This Relationship

The best way to ensure your HVAC system isn’t working harder than it has to is to upgrade your insulation. If you are able to better control the heat transfer throughout your house, your system won’t have to work as hard to keep your air conditioned at the temperature you want it at! Your home will be able to withstand temperature swings more efficiently and will circulate the air for longer before it eventually makes its way out of your house.

This benefit also helps out your insulation, too. If your HVAC system is running efficiently and is able to work how it is supposed to, it will be better at removing excess heat, humidity and allergens like pollen from your air. All of this can be a strain on your insulation and can make it harder for it to work effectively. Cleaner air is not only beneficial for your insulation’s longevity, it’s great for your health as well!

Upgrading Your Insulation

We can help make sure you are getting the most out of your insulation upgrade. Our team will come out to your house and perform a free insulation evaluation. This evaluation can help us determine the spots in your home that are vulnerable to energy loss, and a quick upgrade can stop this from happening. Once your home is properly insulated, your HVAC system will get a much-deserved break.
