Cooling is a significant chunk of your electric bill and increasing insulation is a cost-effective way to lower your energy bills and consume less electricity. Whether going green or saving green motivates you, proper insulation is a powerful option.

How Insulation Works

Performance of insulation is measured by its R-value, which is the material’s ability to resist change (in this case, temperature). Think of your home like a can of soda fresh from the fridge. Adding a koozie is like adding insulation to your home; different materials or thicknesses of your koozie keep it cooler longer.

If you have a thick koozie with a high R-value but with lots of holes, it may not keep your drink as cool as a thin koozie, with lower R-value but with no holes.

Understanding the R-value of your home will require a lot of calculations on the relative R-values of the materials in your home already and will only be one factor for insulating properties of your home.

R-value helps you compare one insulation material to another. However, there are many factors you need to consider in order to receive the full value from the material. Proper installation as well as knowing how much insulation you need to properly complete a job is extremely important.

Insulation has changed a lot; It’s not all cotton candy fiberglass anymore. The tools and materials have increased the performance of insulation enormously. Advanced materials often involve specialized tools.

What a Professional Can Do for You

Insulation installation can be expensive, and while it’s possible to do some projects yourself, it might be a bad idea. From dealing with itchy insulation or paying extra to fix improper installation; it can be irritating. Here are a few reasons to reconsider saving yourself the hassle.
