Under-insulated homes experience substantial heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. This tremendous energy loss forces your home’s heating and cooling systems to work overtime and waste your hard-earned money, along with our planet’s limited natural resources. When you decrease the amount of energy used to heat and cool your home, fewer overall emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants are produced. Better insulated homes also require fewer power plants to produce the energy needed to heat and cool them, which also helps cut down on greenhouse gas emissions. To keep performing efficiently and comfortably, a well insulated home insulated uses less natural resources. And fewer of your own financial resources. Taking care of your home is an important step in taking care of our world.
