Why Bother with Insulation?

Home insulation in Duluth and surrounding areas makes families more comfortable at home!Have you wondered why proper insulation in your home is so important? As home energy and comfort specialists, we know that home insulation reduces the strain on your air conditioner and heater, and also helps keep your home comfortable. So when you continuously call for AC repair, you may need insulation. Here's why.

Improper Insulation = Uncomfortable Home Year-Round

If you picture a child walking down the street in the middle of winter, wearing nothing but flip flops, shorts and a tee shirt would you be concerned? What if you saw the same child on the hottest summer day wearing a snow suit, boots, hat and gloves? I know I would wonder where the parents were! 

Compare the child to your house, if you have improper insulation, your house would always be cool in the winter and hot in the summer. 

Think of it like this, take the child who was walking down the street in the middle of winter wearing shorts and a tee shirt. You feel bad for the poor kid so you buy him a hot chocolate. After one he still isn't warm enough, so you buy him another and another. When he finally reaches a temperature that is just above freezing, you are broke and he is cold again. 

Or the summer child all dressed up in a winter snowsuit. You buy him a nice ice cold lemonade, and another, and another. At the end, you are still broke and he is hot again. 

If your house is like this child and is improperly insulated, you can spend a lot of money trying to heat it up or cool it down, and never see the results you want. Your home will always be to hot or too cold.
