With these single-digit temperatures, how is your home feeling inside? Is it warm and cozy or are you noticing extra chill and cold pockets? Read about the importance of insulation.

An uninformed homeowner may think that the original insulation when the home was built might last along with the house. However, insulation can settle over time. This means lower energy efficiency.

Properly insulating, ventilating, and sealing your attic space is incredibly important! As a Minnesotan insulation installer, Snap knows how much of a difference this makes for your home.

Energy efficiency is so important today. Having a properly insulated attic space will allow your home to be more efficient which results in lower energy bills. Less air can escape in the winter and less cooled air in the summer can reach the heat. Your heating and cooling bills will be lower which saves you money in the long run (this also means your HVAC unit’s life will extend!)

Properly insulating your attic space also means that your Bloomington roofing is protected. Ice dams will be reduced or eliminated since less warm air can reach the roof – meaning the snow won’t melt and run down to the eaves where it would refreeze. Ice dams and ice dam removal can be damaging to your Bloomington roofing.

A warmer attic space means that more critters may settle in. Condensation, mold, and mildew can also become a problem in a warmer space.

These are just a few of the numerous benefits of proper insulation. A Snap Construction field representative can walk you through what options are best for your home and how it can be possible with financing options.
