Homeowners often look for ways to save money and make their home more energy efficient. There are an overwhelming number of options and upgrades to choose from during this endeavor, and one element for efficiency that is often overlooked is insulation installation in basements and crawlspaces.
A professional insulation installation service can turn the basement or crawlspace into a conditioned space by limiting the transfer of heat into or out of the home. This helps with the following:
- Improving energy efficiency, which reduces power bills and is eco-friendly
- Controlling humidity levels and reducing the chance of mold and moisture damage
- Stabilizing temperatures throughout the home
- Eliminating cold floors
- Reducing drafts indoors
- Minimizing “stack effect” (which causes cold air to be drawn into the home)
Some contractors will suggest that simply insulating the basement ceiling or above the crawlspace is enough, but to effectively control indoor temperatures and reduce the chances of frozen pipes and cold, inefficient HVAC ducting, it is necessary to insulate the walls of the basement or crawlspace. This ensures that you will reap all the benefits of proper insulation installation rather than just keeping the floor incrementally warmer.
