Exposing Some Myths About Adding Insulation To Your Home
Herbert Franklin
Your home's insulation can be among the most important parts of the home, but you may not be very informed about it. As a result, you may be under the impression that some misconceptions about adding more insulation to the attic are true. To help you be a better-informed homeowner, you will want to make sure that you are aware of the realities behind the following couple of myths.
Myth: There Are No Benefits To Adding More Insulation To Your Attic
Many homeowners fail to appreciate the benefits of adding insulation to the attic. However, the roof can be among the more prominent sources of energy inefficiencies. Fortunately, additional insulation will prevent this problem because it will help to close any small gaps or other sources of air leaks that may be present.
Myth: Adding More Insulation To The Attic Is Extremely Expensive And Difficult
It can be common for individuals to fail to make this upgrade due to concerns about costs and inconveniences. Luckily, adding insulation to the attic can be among the more cost-effective improvement projects that you can make to the house. While there will be a relatively high initial cost for installing the new insulation, the improvements in energy efficiency may more than offset this expense.
The installation process for adding insulation to the attic is relatively simple. If your attic has exposed insulation, you can achieve this by simply placing additional insulation around and on top of the existing insulation.
In instances where the insulation is hidden behind walls, floors or ceilings, you may need to use foam injection insulation. This option will prevent you from needing to remove the walls to access the insulation because it can be injected into place by simply drilling a small hole. However, it can be difficult to know the exact amount spray foam to use, and you should always leave this work to professionals to ensure that this upgrade is done correctly.
The addition of insulation to your attic can be an excellent way of boosting the overall energy efficiency of your house. However, you may overlook this improvement if you fail to appreciate the practical benefits that come from additional insulation as well as the fact that this upgrade can be affordable and relatively simple. Knowing these realities will help you to make the right choice for your house when it comes to this type of upgrade.
