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
- Better moisture control, which can reduce floor squeaks, drywall
cracks, structure damage and condensation - 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. The reason? Buyers know they can buy a more
expensive home if heating and cooling bills can be kept down.
- A more environmentally friendly home
- Lower energy bills* Unless your home was constructed with special
attention to energy efficiency, adding insulation will probably reduce
your utility
bills.
- 60% of the existing homes in the United States are not insulated to
the best level.
- According toa study done by Harvard University's School of Public
Health, 60% of the exising 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 may 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.*
