How can attic insulation keep your home cool during the summer?

When you consider attic insulation, you may think about making sure your home stays warm; but did you know that attic insulation also helps keep you home cool?

The attic is where the majority of cool air loss takes place during the hotter months and installing insulation, or upgrading to higher efficiency attic insulation, can help retain the cool air in your home instead of it escaping through the attic.

How can attic insulation save you money on energy costs?

Attic insulation can also help reduce energy use for your home, saving you money on your energy bills. Cost savings varies based on many factors, including the resident’s habits, if you installed a smart thermostat, the type of cooling system you have, etc. On average, it’s estimated homeowners could save up to 20% on cooling bills when you add the recommended amount of attic insulation.
