A little insulation protects the environment…and can save you money!

 

60% of the existing homes in the US are not insulated properly and are wasting energy and money – is yours one of them? By properly insulting your home (one of the least expensive home improvements), you can reduce your energy consumption and bills, improve your comfort, and create a healthier environment and more resources for your children’s future.

Simple Ideas

• Find out how your home measures up by learning what areas in a home should be insulated. Go here.
• Do it for the money too! Insulation pays itself off fast and keeps paying off with life long energy savings. Estimate your potential return on investment.
• Believe it or not! Proper insulation saves 12 times as much energy per pound in its first year as the energy used to produce it.
• Take your pick. Choose from Natural Cotter Fiber, Cellulos, fiber glass, rock and slag wool insulations. Do the research and choose what’s right for you.
• Stop the energy loss! The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that up to 40% of a home's heat loss can be from air infiltration, and heating and cooling account for 50 to 70% of energy used in the average American home.

All insulation products installed in U.S. buildings save consumers about twelve quadrillion Btu – that’s enough energy to supply the total energy requirements of Florida for 4 years. Let’s keep the savings going!
