Spring has finally hit the Frankfort area. You’re probably already in the midst of cleaning and organizing other projects around the house. While you surely remember to store away winter clothes and clean the barbecue, it’s less likely that you’ve thought about checking your home’s insulation.
Why Insulation Matters
Insulation works to stop heat transfer. Many local Illinois residents only associate insulation with winter. While insulation plays a key role in the winter, it’s also essential in the summer. During the summer, insulation helps prevent the heat from the outside from turning your home into an oven.
Attic Insulation
Although it’s important that all areas of your home are insulated, your attic is particularly important, and it’s also an easy place to check. The majority of energy waste occurs through your home’s attic if it’s not properly insulated.
Check the Insulation in Your Attic
Now is the perfect time to check the insulation in your attic since it’s still not too hot. You’ll want to review all areas of your attic to ensure the insulation is sufficient and that everything is air sealed. Learn more about exactly how to measure your attic insulation.
Schedule an Energy Audit
If you’re not up for checking your attic on your own, have already discovered the insulation is inadequate, or want a professional to double-check, you should schedule a home energy audit. During an energy audit, an expert auditor will test your entire home for areas of inefficiency. Using blower door testing and thermal camera imaging all areas of your home that are lacking air sealing and insulation will be found. You’ll then receive a solution as to how to properly address your home’s inefficiencies.
Benefits of Home & Attic Insulation
Following an audit, it’s likely that air sealing and insulation will be recommended. When an expert insulates your home, you’ll notice benefits right away, including improved comfort throughout the entire year and reduced monthly energy bills.
