Now that warm weather has finally started to stick around in our region, homeowners and businesses are starting to put their air conditioning to use again. You want your home or commercial building to be comfortable this summer, but at what cost? If your home or building isn’t properly insulated, you could be spending twice as much trying to keep your space cool. Sam Boak knows how much his customers have saved by having insulation installed in their space, so he wants to explain how insulation can help save on cooling costs!

Insulation creates a thermal barrier.

Insulation is like layering on clothing to keep you warm. Your body heat is insulated with your winter coat, so that heat continues to keep you warm. It’s a similar process with home or building insulation, but it also works for cooling! Insulation creates a thermal barrier that keeps the interior temperature regulated. This allows your space to be cooled faster and with less effort and remain the desired temperature longer. That’s what saves your utility costs from getting too high!

Where is insulation necessary?

While insulation can be installed within the walls and ceilings of your building, Sam Boak knows that the attic is where it really counts. Your roof absorbs extreme levels of heat in the summer, and that heat is likely to spread throughout the building if there is no insulation or outdated insulation. Installing the proper insulation in your attic can help to control that heat and keep the home cool. By focusing installation in the areas that need it most, home and building owners can help control their utility costs.
