Why You Should Insulate Your Home in the Fall

Getting your home to-do list checked off during the fall is a common thing to do because once winter arrives, it’s hard to get many projects completed. Insulating the walls and attic of your home is vital in making sure you are saving money and cozy for the seasons ahead. When you consider the pros, you’ll understand why fall is the best time to insulate your home.  

Here are just the top 3 reasons to insulate your home in autumn: 

As the leaves change and weather gets cooler, your utility bills rise. With insufficient insulation in your walls and attic you will notice your furnace running for hours. By the end of the month, there will be sticker shock at how high the energy bill is. RetroFoam injection foam for existing walls can reduce energy costs by 50%! Additionally, attic insulation is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to reduce energy loss. Your walls and attic make up 60% of the reason your home is losing energy. Protect your pocketbook by insulating your home! 

Fall is a relatively short season and with all of the holidays in between, winter arrives in the blink of an eye! Shivering and bundling up in your own home is not how it should be. Insulating while temperatures are still mild will bring comfort to all of those who live in the home.  

Drafts let freezing air into your home through your walls and attic. Drafts in your attic can cause damage to your roof if ice dams form. Cellulose and fiberglass have high R-Value that will stop drafts from reaching the home. For walls, RetroFoam insulation creates an air seal in the walls that will stop those annoying drafts from getting inside of your home.
