High hat fixtures boxed out with rigid insulation before covering loose-fill insulation to a depth of 20 inches in a Harleysville, PA attic.
According to a US Department of Energy fact sheet, heating and cooling account for up to 70% of the energy used in the average American home and inadequate insulation and air leakage are leading causes of energy waste in most homes. In fact, most homes, even those recently built, are under-insulated.
With an under-insulated home in the summer, the heat transfers through the attic and walls. In the summer, this makes the interior of your home hot and humid. In the winter, heat escapes leaving the home feeling cold and drafty. Worse yet, gaps in insulation around pipes, ducts, and wiring allow for air to transfer directly between conditioned to unconditioned spaces.
Installing the right insulation and proper attic ventilation often pays for itself in energy savings within just a few years… and continues saving you money for as long as you own the home. Proper insulation will also increase the comfort of your home, extend the life of your heating and cooling systems, as well as decrease your home’s impact on the environment.
