Make your home more energy efficient with blown-in insulation. Depending on where you live in the United States, your heating and air conditioning systems could account for up to 60% of your monthly utility bills. It takes a considerable amount of energy to cool or heat an entire house. Consequently, even more energy will be used if heat can escape from your home in winter and outside heat can enter your home during Miami’s hot, humid summers. As a result, your air conditioner could be working overtime if your attic is not well insulated.
Blown-in insulation is a great way to improve the performance of your heating and air conditioning system. There are 3 types of this insulation: cellulose, fiberglass and polyurethane. Compared to the limitation of blanket or carpet insulation, blown insulation is the ideal alternative to reduce your energy consumption. Hoses that are connected to mechanical blowers are used to spray insulation into the attic and walls of your home. This type of insulation could reduce your electricity costs by up to 25%. Additionally, you may be eligible for a tax credit or exemption in certain areas.
Homeowners love the versatility that blown-in insulation offers. For example, it is typically made from “green” materials and is an ideal way to improve the R-value or resistance to heat flow in the attic and wall stud cavities of a home. Plus, when you hire a blown-in insulation professional, it’s the quickest and most economical way to save on your monthly utility bills.
By installing the right amount of insulation, you will enjoy the following benefits:
Reduced Cooling Costs – Insulation works during the summer, not just the winter. During the summer, prevent heat from entering your home from the attic. This can significantly reduce your monthly utility bills by reducing the strain on your A/C.
System Longevity: Because your air conditioning and heating systems won’t have to work as hard as they did before blown-in insulation was installed, your air conditioner or furnace can enjoy a longer lifespan.
As a note of caution, installing insulation should not be considered a DIY project. First of all, the equipment needed for such a project is expensive, even if you rent it. Second, the equipment can be difficult to use. Lastly, installing insulation incorrectly will not help you reduce your utility costs.
