It’s July and summer is in full swing. The sun is out and your kids spend all day exploring the world outside. There’s lingering smells of bonfires and fresh cut lawns. Summer is the best, but always.
Summer is a time for fun and play, but it also means hot, uncomfortable weather. If your home isn’t protected against the extreme heat, not only can you feel it outside, but inside as well.
With temperatures well into the 90’s and 100’s, the AC unit seems to run constantly and your home never cools down. Perhaps you had a similar feeling in the wintertime, too? Even when you turn the furnace all the way up, you’re still cold.
Your home is your sanctuary and should be a place of comfort for the whole family. No matter what the temperature is outside, we’ve got a year-round solution for you — re-insulating and air sealing your home!
Why Should You Re-Insulate Your Home?
Nearly 80 million homes in America are currently under-insulated. That’s 90 percent of all the households in our country! Insulation standards didn’t come into play until after the mid-1970’s; therefore, if your home was built before then, it’s likely you’re one of the homeowners who could use a little home improvement.
And even if your home was built after 1980, insulation codes have changed a lot since then. So, if your home was up to code 10 years ago, it might not be up to code now. Building code does not always mean maximum efficiency.
Year-Round Comfort No Matter the Weather Outside
If your HVAC system is constantly kicking on and off, this could be a sign that your home is under-insulated. Many people attribute insulation to cold-weather climates, when in fact, homes in warm climates need attention as well. Take your refrigerator for example- it needs to stay cool right?
Insulating and air sealing your home create a barrier inside of your home, blocking extreme weather from entering and keeping controlled air from escaping. But that’s not all. It even suppresses outside noise and prevents allergens from entering. So, no matter the weather outside, you can experience more year-round comfort at home.
In addition, a properly insulated home means your HVAC system won’t have to work as hard to maintain indoor temperatures, extending the life of your unit, saving you money on your electricity bill and reducing your carbon footprint.
Altogether, these benefits also increase the overall value of your home. And many satisfied homeowners we’ve helped so far say they noticed a difference immediately after installation.
Take control of your comfort by controlling the temperature of your home and make this summer one to remember!
