Why
insulation is important
Heating and cooling (space conditioning) account for 50 to 70%
of the energy used in the average American home. About 20% goes
for heating water. On the other hand, lighting and appliances
and everything else account for only 10 to 30% of energy used
in most residences.
Unless your home was constructed with special attention to energy
efficiency, adding insulation will probably reduce your utility
bills. Much of the existing housing stock in the United States
is not insulated to the best level. Older homes are likely to
use more energy than newer homes, leading to very high heating
and air-conditioning bills. Even if you own a new home, adding
insulation may save enough money in reduced utility bills to
pay for itself within a few years.
You can achieve an energy efficient home by installing Certainteed
batts, Insulsafe blow, or Optima Blow-In-Blanket System. |
