Insulation Contractor can improve comfort, reduce energy costs, and extend the life of your heating and cooling equipment. But that’s just one part of the equation—your insulation and air sealing are essential to creating a comfortable, efficient home.
Insulation provides resistance to heat flow, which lowers your energy bills. It works by blocking conduction (heat moving through materials) and radiated heat (heat that passes through light-colored surfaces like glass or vinyl), so warm air stays in the room and colder air is kept outside where it belongs.
Upgrade Ventilation with Insulation: Balancing Airflow and Energy Efficiency
In addition to reducing energy costs, proper attic insulation and ventilation protect your living space from moisture issues and mold growth. Moisture problems can occur because of improper ventilation, excessive humidity, or lack of insulation—all of which can cause health and structural damage. Insulation and ventilation work together to manage temperature and moisture, minimizing condensation and other moisture-related problems.
Attic insulation upgrades include soffit vents, ridge vents, and a roof-top exhaust fan. The soffit and ridge vents should be cleaned regularly to ensure they’re working properly. The insulation should be installed to a depth equal to or greater than the height of the attic joists. In houses with half storeys, it’s important to insulate the ceiling joists directly beneath the knee walls, but be sure not to block soffit venting at those locations.
In the winter, insulation prevents warm air from escaping into the attic and into the house, reducing heating costs. And in the summer, insulation keeps attic temperatures cooler and lessens the load on your air conditioning system.
