5 Benefits to Updating Your Houston Home Insulation

When you look around your home and start cataloging home improvements you might like to make, insulation might not spring readily to mind. Normally, you can't see it, and it's not exactly a "fun" update like painting your kitchen cabinets or adding a deck.

Still, there are great reasons to add insulation updates to your home improvement schedule.

#1) You'll enjoy a more comfortable home.

Let's face it. Houston gets hot. Really hot and humid. You can't rely on your air conditioner to do all the work of cooling your home. 

Insulation can reduce the amount of energy you need to cool your home and can eliminate unpleasant hot spots throughout the house. It allows your AC to deliver more consistent results. 

#2) You can block out the rest of the world.

Certain Houston neighborhoods are close to major intersections and Interstate highways, which makes them noisy.  

Plus, neighbors will be neighbors: there's always the guy who wants to hammer nails at 8 AM or the person who cranks up the lawnmower just as you start your Zoom meeting.

Insulation can block out all this noise, making your home feel more private and relaxing. 

#3) You'll spend less on your energy bill.

If your electric bill is super high, then you'll definitely appreciate the changes you see after you update your insulation. You can save up to 15% on heating and cooling costs alone.

Those savings add up!
 

#4) You'll protect your home value. 

Even if you don't intend to sell your home, you already know that keeping home values high helps you build your own wealth. 

Updating your insulation can increase overall property value by 2% to 6%. Now that's a great investment! 
 

#5) You'll prevent mold problems.

Mold is just a fact of life in Houston. Climate control is the key to controlling mold, and insulation is the key to climate control. We help you keep your home cool and dry so that mold and mildew never gain a foothold.

Plus, we protect the wooden structures in your home from warping and cracking due to the heat, depriving mold of places to grow.
