Many of you have turned on our furnaces for the foreseeable future and which means you have likely already seen an increase in your utility bills. With our gas companies increasing the fees associated with our gas bills, it does not look like there will be much wiggle room to keep your heating costs down this winter. So, what can you do in order to keep your gas bill lower and your home a nice warm temperature? Our team recommends upgrading your insulation with blow-in insulation.
We know if can feel like a major renovation to upgrade to blow-in insulation, it is actually a lot easier than you might think. Blow-in insulation can be done on existing homes attics. The way blow-in insulation works is by using long, flexible hosing to blow in the material into your attic. It is really that simple. Our professional insulation installers feed the insulation into the commercial grade machine, it is then agitated, run through the hose, and filled on top of existing insulation in your attic. Blow-in insulation is easy and affordable. But how does spending money on upgrading to blow-in insulation help with your gas bill?
The way insulation works is by reducing thermal conductivity. If you have low r-value insulation or older insulation, your home could be losing heat a lot faster and easier than you might think. Older homes are often under insulated and if you have traditional insulation it may have settled over time, or even be disturbed by the elements, rodents, or other kinds of damage. You can do a simple test of your insulation by walking from room to room and seeing if you notice colder spots, drafts, and worse case when you notice an extremely high heating bill.
