3 Reasons to Increase the Insulation in Your Home

With the heating season just around the corner in Colorado, now is the time to be thinking about ways to save energy and increase comfort in the home. Adding insulation to your home offers several advantages.

1. Save Energy
With home heating costs increasing over 40% during the last 12 years and expected to increase again this year, one of the best ways to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to rising energy costs is to insulate your home.

2. Improve Comfort
Along with sealing leaky windows and doors, attic insulation will help your home's heating and cooling system maintain even temperatures year round.

3. Prevent Ice Dams
Ice dams form when heat escaping from a home's roof cause snow on the roof to melt, as it refreezes it can create a "ice dam" that can cause water to backup and seep into the home.
Combined with attic air sealing, insulation can help to prevent the formation of ice dams in the winter by preventing heat from escaping through the roof.
