Is your home unknowingly contributing to environmental problems? For some homeowners, their home’s carbon footprint is a lot greater than they realized. HD Horne is here to help!
SIGNS YOUR HOME’S CARBON FOOTPRINT IS HIGH
Here are some quick signs to watch out for and how proper insulation can help:
- High Energy Bills: Notice your energy bills creeping up? Poor insulation can make your heating and cooling systems work overtime, spiking your carbon footprint and bills.
- Temperature Trouble: Uneven room temperatures? Inconsistent insulation can make some rooms too hot in summer and too cold in winter, increasing your energy use.
- Drafts and Leaks: Drafty windows and doors? These are signs of energy leaks, which proper insulation can seal up, saving energy and money.
- Roof Problems: Ice dams and snowmelt on your roof can signal insulation issues, causing damage and energy loss. Adequate attic insulation can prevent this.
- Reduce Emissions: Worried about your carbon footprint? Improve insulation to lower energy use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
HOW HOME INSULATION HELPS
- Here’s why home insulation matters: Energy Efficiency: Good insulation (including spray foam insulation) keeps your home comfortable and reduces the need for constant heating or cooling, saving energy and the environment.
- Enhanced Comfort: Insulation ensures a cozier living space all year round, for a much cozier and more pleasant home.
- Lower Bills: Investing in insulation saves money on energy bills; it’s an innovative, financial, and eco-friendly choice.
- Environmental Responsibility: Taking steps to reduce your carbon footprint through insulation shows your commitment to a sustainable future.
In short, don’t ignore the signs of an increasing carbon footprint in your home. Insulation upgrades are an easy way to make a big difference for your wallet and the environment.
