The Side Benefits of Eco Insulation
The vast majority of homeowners and commercial property owners understand that quality insulation means a warmer home or building. The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about insulation is warmth. However, there are a lot of side benefits from quality insulation such as Eco Insulation’s cellulose insulation. So other than keeping your house warm during cold winter months, you can look forward to the following benefits:
Decreased Fuel Costs
Keeping your house insulated is enough to shield it from the rugged midwest winters. Keeping your house warm requires you to pump the heat occasionally (or constantly depending on the winter). In order to keep your house toasty, you are going to run through fuel which is reflected on your energy bills. The side benefit of cellulose insulation is that the coverage and R-value are so good that very little of that warmed air escapes through your home’s roof and walls. Therefore, in order to keep the house at a comfortable 75 degrees, less fuel is needed because less of the warm air ever leaves the house.
Reduces Noise from Outside
Another great side benefit of our cellulose insulation is the reduction of noise from outside. Insulation has the ability to dampen the noise from outside. The higher quality the insulation, the more the noise from the outside is deadened. So if you suffer from a chronic case of noisy neighbors, look into some new insulation.
Cool Summers
Insulation isn’t biased to keeping warm air in. It also helps prevent the heat exchange from cooler air to a warmer outside temperature. So during those hot summer months when your A/C unit is on full blast, you can expect that cool air to remain indoors instead of escaping through the walls and ceilings. Again, this also helps reduce your energy bills since your A/C unit won’t have to work as hard to cool down and keep the house cool.
Increases Resale Value
If you’re looking for every potential way to increase the resale value of your home, new insulation is a great way to do so. Sure, the kitchen is the shiny object that remains the kicker when it comes to resale value, but having all of the energy efficient essentials is a huge bonus for potential buyers.
Fire Retardant
Finally, cellulose insulation is fire retardant. This is a huge side benefit that you hopefully will never have to take advantage of. However, disasters do happen and you’ll have some peace of mind knowing that your insulation won’t aid in the spread of fire and in some cases, can even slow or eliminate the spread of fire from one room to another.
