The attic might seem like a low priority; you probably don’t spend much time up there. Nonetheless, attic insulation provides homeowners with nine major benefits:
1. It can substantially reduce your cooling and heating expenses for years to come. HouseLogic estimates that a major attic insulation upgrade produces annual savings of around $600.
2. Your home’s interior will feel more comfortable because HVAC equipment won’t struggle to keep up with rapid temperature swings. Keep in mind that most attics contain large air vents.
3. Insulation represents a wise investment. Thanks to significant energy savings, it might only take a few years to recoup the funds that you spend on this material and professional installation.
4. Your heating and cooling systems may last longer after you insulate this space. They won’t need to work as hard to keep your living area at a comfortable temperature.
5. If you’re wealthy, lower energy and HVAC maintenance costs might not seem particularly important. However, it’s crucial to remember that less energy consumption benefits the environment.
6. Does your attic contain any air ducts? If so, extremely hot and cold conditions affect the temperature of the air in this ductwork. You can boost efficiency by insulating the ducts.
7. Overhead insulation could make the interior of your house quieter. Consider installing it if low-flying airplanes or helicopters frequently travel through your area.
8. If your house needs more living space, you may choose to finish the attic. This area will be far more comfortable if you thoroughly insulate it.
9. Insulation reduces the risk that pipes will become frozen when your heating system fails or a power outage occurs. This can prevent serious water damage.
