How Insulation Can Affect Your Heating and Cooling Costs
The least glamorous upgrade in the house is usually the most consistent performer.
Insulation slows heat movement; air sealing stops it from being carried out entirely. Done together, they reduce the load on heating and cooling equipment in every season.
Where to start in a typical New Jersey home
- Air seal the attic floor.
- Insulate the attic to a modern depth.
- Seal and insulate the rim joist in the basement.
- Address knee walls and bonus rooms over garages.
"Seal first, then insulate. Insulation over an unsealed attic floor underperforms every time."
