Is Your Home Ready for Winter?
Homeowners in Palos Heights owe it to themselves to live comfortably this winter. While a number of different factors can affect home performance, chief among them is insulation. Insulation helps to keep conditioned air inside and prevents outside air from entering the home, thus tightening its thermal envelope. Unfortunately, many Illinois homes are far from what most home performance contractors would consider to be well-insulated, which can lead to rather uncomfortable winters. The solution? Increasing or updating the insulation in your home.
Insulation Types
There are a number of different types of insulation on the market, many of which are more suited to certain uses than others. Fiberglass batting, for example, is never going to be as high in quality or as effective as cellulose insulation, simply because it allows air in while the others do not. Batting is rather common in many Palos Heights homes, which is why many could benefit from improved insulation.
Year-round Performance
Many people believe that insulation is only necessary during the cooler months of the year. The fact is, insulation helps to keep cool, conditioned air inside where it belongs in the summertime the same way it keeps warm air inside throughout the winter. When properly installed, the right type of insulation can lead to year-round performance and true home comfort.
