Insulation delivers several lasting benefits to your home and is a worthwhile investment to consider. Up to 90% of homes in the U.S. do not have sufficient insulation, so your house is likely among the residences that need extra protection. If you’re considering having your home insulated, explore a few noteworthy incentives below.

3 Benefits of Insulating Your House

1. Year-Round Comfort

A properly insulated home will help you maintain the desired temperatures and comfort your seeking within the home.  Insulation is designed to keep heat where it’s supposed to be. This means your home will stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, providing optimal comfort levels year-round. You may also notice a reduction in drafts, especially during the winter months.

2. Lower Energy Costs

Because insulation puts less strain on your HVAC system and therefore requires less energy, it also keeps your heating and cooling costs down. Having areas like your attics, crawlspaces, and basement rim joists insulated saves homeowners an average of 15% on energy bills. Because you’ll enjoy these savings year after year, having your home properly insulated will eventually pay for itself.

3. Reduced Carbon Footprint

Environmentally conscious homeowners looking to reduce their carbon footprint will be happy to know insulation helps reduce energy use. Because warm air is always seeking cold air, a well-insulated attic will minimize heat loss during the winter and keep heat in the attic during the summer, allowing your HVAC system to conserve energy. Altogether, if all U.S. homes were to insulate their homes, the nation could reduce its energy consumption by 37 billion kilowatt-hours.
