Do You Need More Attic Insulation?
Modern Code Upgrades – Michigan Residential Energy Codes are updated every three years, and in 2015 the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA) reported that 90% of single family homes in the US are under insulated.
Rising Energy Costs – Since 2004, residential energy prices have increased by 39%. In fact, the average homeowner spends $2,060 per year on household energy bills and almost half of that cost is for heating and cooling. These types of continued price increases can leave us feeling powerless and frustrated. After all, we’re only trying to keep the lights on and keep our homes comfortable!
Why Is Attic Insulation Important?
Eco Friendly
Insulation reduces energy consumption, which means that less fossil fuel is burned to produce that energy. This, in turn, decreases the amount of polluting gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide emitted into the atmosphere. All of our future generations can benefit from less pollution.
Save Money
Heating and cooling account for approximately 50% of the energy used in the average American home. So if your home is under-insulated, you’ll spend extra money keeping your home at desired temperatures. DTE Energy and Consumers Energy offer rebates for insulation upgrades as an added bonus.
Indoor Comfort
Heat naturally flows from warmer to cooler places. And even homes that are equipped with modern heating and cooling systems can cause severe temperature fluctuations when under-insulated. Large temperature differences between each floor in the house can be improved with proper levels of insulation.
Ice Dams
Heat loss (along with ventilation) is a key ingredient to the formation of ice dams. An attic that is under-insulated allows heat to escape, melt the snow on the roof, and refreeze into solid ice above the gutter. Adding more attic insulation can significantly help reduce the frequency and severity of ice dams.
