Will Insulating My Home Help Keep It Cooler Inside?
Insulating your home is one of the best ways to keep it feeling comfortable during our summer months. Many homes either have little insulation or no insulation at all. That can result in discomfort and higher energy bills as your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system tries to maintain the temperature set on your thermostat.
Home insulation offers additional protection from high outdoor temperatures. Insulating also helps prevent your HVAC system from overworking itself and trying to keep up with the demand for cool air, reducing energy usage and expenses.
According to ENERGY STAR®, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states homeowners have the potential to save 11 percent on total energy costs by air sealing and insulating their homes.
What Will Happen If I Don’t Insulate My Home?
Without sufficient home insulation this summer, cool air can escape through your windows, doors, walls, attics, crawl spaces, and basements. Additional ways to keep your home cool and prevent your air conditioning system from overworking itself include closing your blinds, upgrading to blackout curtains, turning off lights in your home when you don’t need them, and using a ceiling or plug-in fan for extra air circulation.
When you don’t have any insulation, you put your home at risk. High outdoor temperatures can cause your home to overheat. If your home gets too hot or humid, you put your floors, walls, and doors at risk of damage as well.
