Is your winter heating bill causing you to burn up in anger? If you’d like to significantly reduce your heating bill during the colder months of the year, one possible solution is to make sure your attic insulation is doing its job. Here are a few reasons why you might want to install new attic insulation before the coldest weather of the year arrives. 
Reduce Heat Loss
Heat naturally rises towards the top of any space it is in. Your attic is obviously located at the very top of your house, but if it’s not properly insulated, the heat won’t stop there. An attic with poor insulation will let heat escape and will also have trouble preventing the cold air from outside from getting in.
Give Your Heater a Break
When your home experiences heat loss, this forces your heating system to keep running. Your thermostat will be able to tell that the house is still not at the correct temperature and the heater will keep cycling back on. By making sure your attic is properly insulated and also keeping in eye out for other issues like drafty windows, you will be able to ensure that your heater’s hard work does not go to waste. This will allow it to shut down more frequently, lowering your energy bill and reducing wear and tear on your heating system.
Greater Comfort
When your home is able to retain heat and your heating system is able to keep the home at the correct temperature throughout the day, this will make life for you and your family much more comfortable. You’ll be able to shelter from the elements and relax this holiday season and into the New Year without worrying about an expensive heating bill or a chilly house.
