Keeping your home warm can be expensive, especially during winter. With this soaring demand, you can expect heating oil and natural gas prices to rise during this time of year. You can try to cut costs by wearing sweaters indoors and dialing down your thermostat settings, but it won’t make a big difference if you have an uninsulated attic. Bone Dry Roofing – West, a local specialist in attic insulation and roof repair/replacement, explains the importance of this aspect of your roof.
Why You Should Insulate Your Attic
Over 90% of U.S. homes are under-insulated, which contributes to high monthly heating and cooling bills. According to the Department of Energy, a properly-insulated attic can shave 10%-50% off your energy bills throughout the year. Attic insulation also helps keep your home’s indoor temperature stable and comfortable for longer, so you won’t have to rely on your AC or furnace all the time.
A poorly insulated attic can affect your home’s heating and cooling systems. For instance, your furnace or heat pump will have to work harder during winter to replace the heat rising and escaping through your attic. It won’t just lead to higher energy bills but also more frequent breakdowns for your unit. You’re better off having a roofing and roof repair expert install adequate insulation to avoid costly repairs.
