Insulation can be one of the biggest HVAC assistants you can ever have.

No matter what kind of heating and air conditioning system you have, it isn’t going to function properly if you don’t have good insulation in your home.

Insulation works as a barrier between the inside of the house and the outdoors. Insulation is placed in the walls and the roof of the house. It is also placed in the basement and the attic floor and ceiling. Insulation helps to keep the cold and heat from outside, from getting inside. It keeps your heating and air conditioning from escaping. In short, it stops the transferrance of heat and cool between the outside and the inside. If the insulation isn’t kept up to date, you can lose money and energy. Although a complete stoppage of heat and cold transfer isn’t possible, the rate of loss is greatly cutback. Without insulation, your heating is constantly flowing from the inside, through your walls, roof and basement. Your air conditioning is escaping through the basement. Good insulation is important if you want your HVAC system to continue running efficiently. If you feel even the slightest bit of draft coming from around doors and windows, you are able to take care of this transferrence of heat and air conditioning, on your own. It is a simple job of installing caulk or weatherstripping around windows and doors. Your HVAC system and your family will thank you for it. Your checkbook will even be more grateful. You’ll see a huge difference in how much you are spending on your HVAC costs.
