Did you know that one of the most effective things you can do to improve the efficiency of your HVAC system is to insulate your Phenix City, AL home? Insulation slows the movement of heat in your home, keeping it trapped inside to keep you toasty for longer. In this article, we discuss just four of the many benefits new insulation brings.
1. Better Environmental Footprint
A well-insulated home traps heat or air conditioned air inside for longer, so your HVAC system uses less energy to heat or cool your home. Almost all forms of heating and cooling your home use resources like natural gas, which leaves a mark on the environment. A more efficient system helps you do your part in keeping the planet healthy.
2. A Warmer Home
A freshly insulated home retains up to 75% more heat than one with no or too little insulation. It does this by preventing the flow of chilly air into your home from the outside, where it then creeps from room to room. Your mornings can consist of sliding out of bed happily instead of hiding under the covers, reluctant to get out of your warm bed to turn the heat up.
3. More Money in Your Pocket
Your furnace works more efficiently in a well-insulated home. This means fewer system startups and cycles for it to work through. You use less energy, and your monthly heating bills will drop, probably significantly.
4. Raises Your Home Value
Did you know that reducing your monthly utility bills is a great way to increase the value of your home? New insulation is one of the best ways to do this, potentially increasing the value of your home by thousands. Even if you don’t plan on selling your home any time soon, there’s really no downside to increasing the value of your home.
