Why Is Home Insulation so Important on a Long Term Basis?

Contents

Home Insulation Roofing HomesInsulating your home might not make much sense in the summer. Most newer HVAC systems have good enough AC to cool your house quite efficiently, so homeowners typically don’t bother insulating their homes too much – nor does the standard require heavy insulation – in areas in the South, where temperatures stay high all year round.

 

However, if you live in an area where winter temperatures get below freezing levels, then insulation will start becoming a long term concern pretty fast.

 

The main issue here is that heat can be expelled more easily in the summer, but it can’t be retained as easily when temperatures are low. If your home lacks proper insulation, then it will take an enormous amount of energy for your HVAC system to keep up, and it might even cave under the pressure and break down after a while.  It also lends itself to roofing issues, and the cost of repair in roofing Canton MI homes.

 

To prevent such issues and keep your energy costs low, added insulation has to be installed especially in the attic. This is typically where most of the heat escapes, although insulating the walls of your home and adding better siding can also help.

 

Once you insulate your attic and fix any holes and leaks in your roof, you should be all set. You’ll find your energy costs to gradually become lower and the strain on your heating system to become much less problematic as time goes by.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
