The average homeowner doesn’t give much thought to the insulation in their attic or walls. We assume it’s there and doing its job. But you might want to take a peek in the attic and check in on your insulation—you might be surprised. Having insulation that is thick enough, with a good R rating, is important for:
- Reducing energy consumption—the furnace and air conditioner won’t have to work as hard or as often to keep the temperature constant.
- Saving you money—with your HVAC system running less, your bills will start going down.
- Keeping the house comfortable—those consistent temperatures will let you sneak in a couple extra degrees on cold winter nights.
- Reducing noise in the house—weather isn’t the only thing to insulate yourself from. Noise won’t travel as fast or get as far when you have good insulation.
