Insulation is Necessary in the Summertime, but Why?

When people think of insulation, they instantly think of a cold winter night, and trying to keep their home warm. Insulation is critical during the winter in order to keep us comfortable and to reduce heating bills but it’s also necessary during the summertime.

There are a numerous reasons that make insulation so important all year long. We’ve put together three reasons below and hopefully you’ll rethink about waiting till the fall to replace your old insulation!

1. Thermos: Think of insulation as a thermos. It keeps the contents inside warm or cold depending what you want it to be. While during the winter you want to keep warm temperatures trapped inside, during the summer you want to keep cool temperatures also trapped inside.

2. Lengthen Life of Appliances: Air conditioners and fans all have a shelf life. The harder they have to work means they will burn out quicker. It also means that you’ll need to spend more money on energy if you are pushing them to your limits to combat weakened insulation.

3. Insulation Reduces Noise: For a lot people in Massachusetts, there is a an abundance of activity outside of their homes. If you live in a busy neighborhood like this, proper insulation can reduce the noise.

The bottom line is that insulation is important, no matter what time of the year that you’re talking.
