As a homeowner, you’re most likely looking for ways to save money in your everyday life. Insulation is an easy way to live more energy efficiently (and comfortably), no matter the season!
As a huge source of heat loss, the attic is one of the best places to start. However, this isn’t the only place to install home insulation. You should also insulate:
- The lower levels, like basement and crawl space
- Exterior and interior walls
- Floors and ceilings
Where to Insulate: Attic
Your attic should be insulated, whether it’s finished or unfinished. The right amount of attic insulation helps ensure your home will be energy-efficient and comfortable all year long.
Where to Insulate: Crawl Spaces
As mentioned, the lower levels of your home are great places to insulate. Whether your crawl space is ventilated or unventilated, it should be insulated (and sealed) properly. If your home has a crawl space, a lot of air can leak in if it isn’t insulated. Learn more about crawl space insulation »
Where to Insulate: Exterior & Interior Walls
Insulating your walls is one of the best ways to increase energy savings and eliminate any drafts and warm or cold spots in your home. Wall insulation also helps reduce outside noises and improve the overall efficiency of your HVAC systems.
Where to Insulate: Floors & Ceilings
Installing insulation in the floors and ceilings of your home can help reduce noises between the different levels and rooms. Blown-in cellulose and fiberglass are some of the best types of insulation for soundproofing.
