Attic insulation is one important way you can lower you energy bills and make your home more green. The attic is often one of the easiest places to add insulation to your home, making it a great place to start when making weatherizing changes for any season. Insulating your attic can help prevent air from escaping the house and stop outside air from coming in.
Heating and cooling costs account for up to 50-70 percent of the energy used in an average home. This means that losing your home’s hot or cold air makes for a huge energy waste. Taking steps to prevent this loss is very important when thinking of ways to make your home more green. Any area where you can prevent wasting energy is always an important area to focus on. Adding insulation to your attic helps reduce your energy costs by lowering the amount of energy you need to keep you home at a comfortable level.

A massive amount of energy is wasted due to cracks, holes, and gaps in your house. Air leakage occurs when outside air enters and conditioned air leaves your house uncontrollably through cracks and openings.
Air leakage contributes to moisture problems that can affect occupants’ health and the structure’s durability. Reducing the amount of air that leaks in and out of your home, through air sealing cracks and openings, is a cost-effective way to cut heating and cooling costs, improve durability, increase comfort, and create a healthier indoor environment.
You may already know where some air leakage occurs in your home, such as an under-the-door draft, but you’ll need to find the less obvious gaps to properly air seal your home. During your home energy audit, we perform a thorough and accurate measurement of air leakage in your home by employing a blower door, which depressurizes the house and can reveal the location of many leaks.
