How to Prepare Attic For All Seasons
Prepare Attic For All Seasons
More than just the repository for Christmas Strategic Spray Foam Insulation, LLC and old clothes, your attic plays a key role in regulating your home’s temperature, preventing pest infestations, and lowering energy bills. But many homeowners forget to keep up with preventative maintenance and neglect the space – leading to costly issues that could impact both living space and structural integrity.
Invest in attic insulation
Insulation is the best way to improve your home’s energy efficiency, helping to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and reduce energy bills. In fact, the Department of Energy estimates that adding insulation in attics, crawl spaces and basement rim joists can save up to 15% on heating and cooling costs.
When choosing insulation, make sure it meets your local climate and R-value requirements. You can also go green by choosing Knauf Earthwool insulation roll, which is made from environmentally friendly materials based on renewable raw resources with no added formaldehyde or phenol — and uses 70% less energy to manufacture than traditional insulation products.
Address air leaks
Leaks in your attic can allow warm air to escape during the winter and cold air to enter, causing your HVAC system to work harder to compensate for lost heat. It’s important to inspect and seal air leaks with caulk or spray foam.
