Why Insulate my Home

If your house has quality roofing and siding but is not well insulated, you are potentially throwing away money every year. Heat naturally flows from warmer areas to cooler areas. Insulation helps to resist this airflow through walls, ceilings, roofs, and other surfaces of the home. It stops heat from exiting the house in the winter and entering the house in the summer, acting as a protective barrier between you and the outside conditions.

The most important location to insulate is your attic. Hot air rises, so in the winter, when you have the heat going, a lot of that air is able to escape through the roof via the attic. In the summer, heat is able to seep into your home through the roof and attic. This can make you uncomfortably warm, tempting you to crank up the air conditioner and drive up your energy bills. In addition to saving money and energy, upgrading to good insulation in your attic can help protect against moisture penetration. This helps to deter mold, odor, and rot, which can be very dangerous to your health and damaging to your home.

Bruin Corp recommends energy-efficient blown-in insulation. This material is much smaller and more flexible than rolled batting, so it can get into smaller spaces and fill cracks and openings more effectively. It also fills in around beams, pipes, and other oddly shaped objects. It is moisture resistant, which helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew.
