Investing in the Bay Area California may not be the most glamorous home improvement project, but it is one of the smartest. It helps reduce energy costs, improves comfort, protects your HVAC system, and increases your home’s resale value.
Insulation is a material that traps pockets of still air, providing a barrier or resistance to heat flow. This is important because a well-insulated building keeps conditioned air inside and unconditioned air out, thus reducing heating and cooling costs. It also increases the life of your HVAC system and contributes to better indoor air quality.
The Impact of Insulation on Your HVAC System
A poorly insulated home wastes energy. Heated or cool air escapes through walls, attics and crawl spaces, forcing your heating or cooling system to work overtime to keep your home at a consistent temperature. This excessive workload results in higher energy bills and accelerates wear and tear on your equipment, shortening its lifespan and resulting in expensive repairs and replacements.
Inefficient or outdated insulation contributes to higher heating and cooling costs and reduces your home’s resale price. An in-home energy audit with a professional can identify areas of your home that need additional or new insulation.
By lowering your energy use, insulation reduces the amount of fossil fuels burned to generate the electricity needed to run your HVAC systems. This cuts down on carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide emissions, both major contributors to global warming and acid rain. As an added benefit, insulation helps control the infiltration of harmful molds, mildew and dust particles into a home.
