Heating bills are projected to jump by well over 10% this year. One of the simplest ways to save on your heating ( and cooling ) bills is adding insulation in your attic! Experts seem to agree - insulation will pay for itself in lower utility bills.
Heating and cooling account for over half of the energy used in the average American home. Inadequate insulation and air leakage are leading causes of energy waste in most homes.
Adding insulation to your home:
* saves money and our planet's limited energy resources
* makes your house more comfortable by helping to maintain a uniform temperature throughout the house
* makes walls, ceilings, and floors warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
The amount of energy you save will depend on several factors: where you live; the age of your house; the living habits of your family; the type and efficiency of your heating and cooling systems; and the fuel you use. Once the energy savings have paid for the installation cost, energy conserved is money saved - and saving energy will be even more important as utility rates continue to rise.
Many Home improvement centers will loan you the equipment you need to blow in cellulose insulation. Or you can hire a pro to come out and do it for you. However you choose to get it done - you can start saving on your utility bill as soon as this winter!
