Insulation is important for all 4 seasons.


Most homeowners know that proper attic insulation helps to keep your home warmer in winter, but is it also beneficial in summer? Yes, it is!

Attic insulation can help you save on your energy bills in every season, so don’t put off installing or updating your insulation. 

Benefits of Attic Insulation During the Summer

Let’s take a look at some of the benefits attic insulation provides during warmer weather.

Reduces Solar Heat Gain
During the summer, attic insulation reduces solar heat gain. In the same way, insulation keeps warm air in during the winter, it helps to keep warm air out during the summer, resulting in energy savings and a more comfortable home.

Reduces Humidity
A damp attic can make your home more humid. That makes the home feel warmer, which makes you want to turn the thermostat down even further. If you can minimize humidity, you can reduce strain on your HVAC. Help your HVAC system last longer, and cut down on the number of needed repairs.

Air Ducts in the Attic
In many homes, the air ducts run through the attic. If this is the case in your home, attic insulation essentially insulates the ducts as well. Cooler air ducts mean it will take less time to cool your home.

Is Your Home Properly Insulated?

Now that you know some of the benefits of proper attic insulation, the next question is whether your home is properly insulated. Many homes have no insulation while many others are under-insulated. By some estimates, up to 90% of homes are under-insulated—make sure your home isn’t one of them.

In order to get the best results, choose a professional local attic installer rather than completing the project on your own. Proper installation is a must to get the best performance.

Ensuring your home is properly insulated is an investment that pays you back with lower utility bills and a more comfortable home in every season.
