All homes were not created equal. The age, design and location of your house will dictate what, if any, insulation it has. With a greater awareness today about energy efficiency, more and more homeowners are looking at ways to improve their existing properties, with many opting to install insulation where there was none before.
Why insulate an existing home?
Retrofitted insulation is considered the most effective way to increase the energy efficiency of an existing home. This will save you money by significantly reducing your energy bills. A home that is warm and comfortable is also a strong selling point, so the money you spend on improving your home’s energy efficiency will not only save you money each year, it will help increase its saleability.
Energy efficiency also means creating healthier homes. A warm, dry, well insulated home has been proven to have significant health benefits, and improves your overall health and well being.
Research shows children increase the chance of health problems by 25% when they live in a cold, wet house, than a warm dry insulated home.
You will also be helping to reduce our country’s overall energy consumption. This in turn will keep energy costs down and go towards creating a sustainable energy culture that is less wasteful and more efficient well into the future.
