[adsense float=’left’]In the previous article we talked about how important is to have an insulated home while outside we have winter conditions or extreme heat specific to the summer.

An insulated house can keep a nice warm habitat inside your house even if outside there are freezing temperatures so your central heating system will work much less, and if outside is summer and the temperatures are extremely hot, your insulated house will keep a cooler and very pleasant temperature inside the rooms, and your air conditioning units will work much less.

So, if you live in an uninsulated apartment you should insulate the outside walls as quick as possible before the winter.

For an apartment, the external insulation is pretty enough to keep the warm air inside during the winter and the cold air inside during the summer.

Of course that this external insulation must be combined with double-glazed windows and doors (the best choice) or at least with doors and windows that are well insulated.

If you live in a house and you have no wall-to-wall neighbors your house stays alone against the nature, against the strong winds, in an extreme cold weather or in extreme heat conditions.

Because of this, the external wall insulation is not enough to protect you against the outside weather conditions.

A house has an attic and a basement or at least an attic.

Nowadays houses are built without a basement so it is very possible that your house has only attic.

If your house is well insulated, you will pay less on energy bills every month.

In your attic, the most affordable insulation material is the cellulose-based.

If you have a basement, you need to insulate your floors.

With or without floors, you need to insulate the attic to be sure that your house is fully protected.

You can use cellulose attic insulation because it is friendly with the environment and will help you save more energy and money.

Why you need to insulate your attic?

Let’s say that your floors and your external wall are insulated and secured of the outside weather conditions.

During the winter, all warm air inside your rooms will rise up to the ceiling and if your attic is not insulated, you will start losing heat through it.

Also in the summer when you have colder air inside the rooms and with an uninsulated attic you will start losing cold air through the attic and receiving warm air from outside.

In both cases, your central heating system or air conditioning units, will work more just to keep the required temperature inside your rooms and you will pay up to 20% more on energy bills compared with the situation of a properly insulated attic.

If you have pests that live in your attic, the cellulose-based insulation being poisonous to pests, will keep you away from these unpleasant creatures.

Don’t forget that the winter is almost here, we have less than two months until the winter is upon us.

Act today and schedule an appointment with an insulation professional that will study your house and will check your attic for any energy escape holes.

After discovering the gaps, all holes will be sealed and will secure the attic from the outside weather conditions.

A sealed house will reduce its energy consumption, your wallet will be happier, and you will also become a person that protects the environment.
