Why Insulation is a Good Investment 

Investing in products to make homes more energy efficient pays significant dividends over a lifetime — with none of the wild fluctuations of Wall Street.

Insulation contributes to:

·        Greater comfort

·        Even temperature distribution

·        Improved acoustics

·        Lower energy bills  


A more environmentally-friendly home
. 

Unless your home has been constructed with special attention to energy efficiency such as LEED or Energy Star standards, adding insulation will reduce your utility bills.  More than 60% of existing homes in the
United States are not insulated to the best level. According to a study done by Harvard University's School of  Public Health, 60% of  existing homes are likely to use more energy than newer homes, leading to very high heating and air-conditioning bills. Even if you own a new home, adding insulation will save enough money in reduced utility bills to pay for itself within a few years and will continue to save you money for as long as you own the home.


Potential for increased resale value
:

Installing proper insulation levels can also make your home more attractive to potential buyers.  In fact, most buyers list energy-efficiency as a prime consideration.   Buyers know they can buy a more expensive home if heating and cooling bills can be kept down.
