In this article, certified roof maintenance services provider Arrowhead Roofing shares some notes on how an attic that’s been insulated professionally is good for your home and can save you money in the long run.
Why Insulate the Attic?
According to the Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), “Heating and cooling account for 50% to 70% of the energy used in the average American home. If you want to substantially reduce energy costs, decreasing the amount of energy needed for heating and cooling your home is a good place to start.” One way to do this at home is by ensuring that your attic is properly insulated, year in and year out.
Who Should Insulate Your Attic?
Without question, you should let only certified roofers like Arrowhead Roofing oversee the installation of your attic insulation. Be wary of individuals or companies that misrepresent themselves as industry professionals without having anything to back up such claims. One way to know if you’re working with the right contractor is to ask what product and workmanship warranties they offer. If they refuse to guarantee their work, the chances are good that you’ll be better off dealing with another contractor.
What Can You Expect?
With a properly-insulated attic, in addition to ending up with lower energy bills you could also potentially save money in several other ways. For instance, your HVAC system won’t have to work as hard as before, which will prolong its usability while requiring less maintenance. Your home will also have better indoor air quality, reducing your exposure to allergens and contaminants which are detrimental to your health. Your roof will be less likely to incur problems related to moisture retention as well.
