Winterization and Insulation: Prepare Your Home For Winter
Oct 23, 2021
This winter is slated to be FREEZING! Freezing temperatures, snowy precipitation, and winter storms can all lead to expensive repairs during the winter. Winterizing your home can save you big bucks and headaches. Here’s all the ways Insulation benefits your home in the winter:
Keeps heat inside and cold outside
Heat transfers occur most at the top and the bottom of your home. Insufficient insulation will waste energy and make your home colder in the winter. Without both insulation and proper air sealing, cold temperatures will creep into the home through the bottom. Additionally, the warm air generated by your home’s furnace, heater, or fireplace will escape from the home through the attic and roof. Upgrade your insulation to keep the outside air outside and the inside air inside!
Avoids Ice dams and Roof damage
Ice Dams can be hazardous to pedestrians as well as damaging to your roof and gutters. When an under-insulated home loses heat through the roof, it melts snow, and then it re-freezes at the edge of the roof where it is coldest. Over time, the ice dam grows and develops large dangerous pieces of ice that can break the roof or gutter or even fall on a passerby. Proper insulation and air sealing prevents heat loss that results in ice dams.
Avoids Frozen Pipes
Frozen pipes can be disastrous! Water damage is no joke to repair, so avoid this by never letting your pipes get too cold. Leveraging wall insulation, foundation and crawlspace insulation, and insulation around pipes near the exterior can all avoid a major disaster.
Keeps Energy Bills Down
Under-insulation is super common, so it’s no surprise that most people are used to extra high energy bills in the dead of winter. Don’t settle for this! Upgrading your insulation will save up to 30% of your energy bill each month and with that savings will pay for itself in no time.
