8 Reasons Why You Should Insulate Your Home
By ProMatcher Staff
Why Insulate?
Insulation limits air's ability to move freely throughout your home. It can eliminate air leaks and improve the efficiency of your HVAC system.
1. Save money
Installing additional insulation in your home will actually save you money. The initial investment can be quickly offset by lower utility bills on a month-to-month basis. By consuming less energy, you will also be inadvertently helping the environment.
2. Comfort
Insulation keeps your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Insulation helps to maintain a constant air temperature throughout your home by eliminating air leaks and slowing the transfer of heat.

3. Noise reduction
Many types of insulation offer some soundproofing. If you live in a loud neighborhood, insulation can help minimize the intrusion of external noise.
4. Add value to your home
Certain types of insulation can add significant value to your home. Well-insulated homes are highly desirable to home buyers looking to save on utility bills.

5. Defense against moisture
Insulation can provide some additional protection from moisture. If moisture is allowed to accumulate in the walls of your home, it may lead to the growth of mold and mildew.
6. HVAC Efficiency
If you have a well-insulated home, it will be easier to cool and heat your home. Also, when purchasing a new HVAC unit, you may be able to purchase a smaller, more affordable unit.
7. Not just for new home
Insulation can be added to an existing home. You don’t have to be in the middle of a remodel to improve the energy efficiency of your home. Spray foam insulation and loose-fill, blown-in insulation can easily be installed behind existing drywall without a great amount of disruption.
8. It’s easy!
