In addition to backyard barbecues, outdoor concerts, and the smell of freshly cut grass, summer brings the promise of rising temperatures and increased home cooling costs. A professional insulation contractor can help you combat this seasonal expense by advising you how to make your house more energy efficient and comfortable. Backed by over 100 years of combined experience, the insulation, roofing, and siding experts at Bulldog Contractors will provide the solutions you need to maintain your cool all season. 

An Insulation Contractor Shares 3 Energy-Saving Tips

Insulate Your Home

Proper insulation will not only keep your home cooler during the summer but help it maintain warmer temperatures during the winter. As a result, you will enjoy lower energy bills and a reduced environmental footprint. You also will save wear and tear on your air conditioner and furnace, helping them last longer.

Improve Your Windows

Upgrading to double-paned windows is one of the most effective ways to combat rising utility costs — they can be up to 50% more energy efficient than their single-pane counterparts. Contact a window contractor to evaluate your home and explain the best options for your structure and climate.

Switch to a Cool Roof

Cool roofs reflect energy from the sun rather than absorbing it as heat, similar to the way wearing a light-colored outfit makes you feel cooler than dark clothing. The result is lower energy costs, enhanced interior comfort, and decreased roof temperatures that promote a longer life for your residential roofing materials.

When you maximize your home’s energy efficiency, you’ll have more money for summer fun and adventure.
