Energy prices fluctuate, especially during the wintertime. Homeowners can increase their home’s efficiency throughout these fluctuations by lowering their reliance on heating oil or natural gas. Of course, the advantage of improving energy efficiency is that it can provide cost-saving benefits year-round, including the summertime. Improving your home’s attic insulation is one of the best ways to increase overall efficiency. As much as 85 percent of the heat lost in a house passes through the attic.

Insulation is a universally important tool for improving energy efficiency in a home. With proper insulation, homeowners can decrease the amount of energy needed to heat and cool their home. Not only will this lower monthly power bills, but it also enables owners to maximize the value of renewable energy features such as solar panels or geothermal heat pumps. Without adequate insulation, a building will ultimately waste energy on climate control.
