Why Insulate Your Home Before Winter?

Winter is well on its way; like clockwork, it’ll be in full swing before you know it. Maine winters can be challenging for home and business owners throughout the state. Snow and frigid cold can lead to ice dams, uncomfortable rooms, and chilly spaces if your home doesn’t have proper insulation. Winter will be here in full force before you know it; make sure that your home is prepared before the weather arrives. 

Delay Turning Your Heat On

No one looks forward to the day that they have to turn on their heat for the first time of the season. It’s a sign that cooler weather has arrived. With a properly insulated home, you’ll be able to delay cranking up the heat while still enjoying a comfortable home. 

Work With the Best

High-quality insulation contractors can be difficult to come by on short notice. If you wait until your home is chilly or has major insulation issues, you may not be working with the best. Quality insulation isn’t something that you want to wait on. Insulating your home before the situation is dire also makes installation easier. If there is snow on the ground already, it can make the job more difficult.

Storage Space

Most homeowners could use some additional storage space in their homes. Insulation in your attic can make help the area safe to store valuables and other possessions. High-quality insulation will keep the space dry and warm. 

Stop Drafts

There aren’t many feelings more unnerving than a draft creeping up your spine. If it feels as though a window or door is open when one isn’t, then there is a need for increased insulation in your walls.

No Freezing Pipes

If your home has had issues with freezing pipes in the past, you know how much of a problem it can be. Frozen pipes typically stem from air leakages in your crawl spaces or basement. Spray foam insulation and other options that offer complete coverage help you avoid frozen pipes and the major issues that come along with them.

Save Money

One of the biggest reasons that insulating your home is a smart move. Properly insulating your home saves you money in more ways than one. Quality insulation can often make your eligible for rebates in your community. In addition to rebates, you’ll save money every month with more efficient home. You’ll keep heating costs down with airtight seals and won’t have to worry about costly plumbing costs associated with frozen pipes. Increased efficiency will ease your heating system’s load, so it doesn’t have to work as hard to keep your home comfortable.
