Why Insulate?

Adding insulation to your home can dramatically lower your heating and air conditioning costs.

Adding insulation to your home is an easy do it yourself project. In a weekend or even in just one day, you can insulate a room, attic or a floor.

It is easy to determine if more insulation is needed:
  • During winter months is there no snow on your roof or some part of your roof, then your attic needs more insulation.

  • If there are ice dams in or along the gutters, then more insulation is needed in your attic.

  • If a room is cold in the winter or hard to cool in the summer, then you probably need additional insulation in walls, floors or ceilings.

  • Cold floors in the winter means more insulation is needed in the floor.

  • If you see water stains on ceilings or walls, this may be caused by not enough insulation in walls around plumbing pipes.
