Winter may be gone, but…
With hot weather coming in for the next several months, you’ll need to cool and dehumidify your home to enjoy its living spaces and sleep well at night. Plus, you’ll want to keep your home free of outside allergens such as pollen or ragweed that could make you or your family members feel unwell.
Yes, just when we think the concerns of winter are behind us, there are the issues that pop up in summer!
Is your AC sitting in a sauna?
If your air conditioner/HVAC system is in an attic that’s not insulated, it’s technically sitting in a sauna all summer! It’s likely dripping water due to the heat creating condensation and that moisture could be creating mold. More importantly, your AC is working its butt off in the heat to keep your house cool, using more energy than necessary and jacking up your energy bills.
The solution to your cooling, comfort and cost concerns
Many people don’t realize that insulating not only helps you be more comfortably warm and cut heating costs in winter but also helps with cooling, dehumidifying, keeping allergens out of the home and cutting your cooling costs in summer. You can enjoy a comfortable home AND lower energy bills ALL YEAR LONG!
Also, with an insulated attic, your HVAC sits in conditioned space, not a sauna, and won’t have to work hard to keep your home cool, adding years to its lifespan. If you have mini-splits in your home, you’ll only need to set them on “DEHU” (dehumidify) to feel cool, dry and comfortable.
Properly installed insulation cuts your energy bills so dramatically (up to 50% all year round) that you can reap a return on your insulation investment within 5 years, along with energy savings for years to come.
Cool Fact:
The Intello membrane we use to hold the cellulose insulation in place is “vapor-intelligent,” meaning it opens and closes as needed to release any moisture rather than trapping it. It ensures no moisture issues emerge, such as mold or roof rot.
Hot Tip:
To ensure you have a healthy home, first look at and assess the air quality. The products you have and use in your home could be emitting chemicals that are hazardous to your family’s health.
