If you're looking to improve the efficiency and comfort of your Westchester County, lower Putnam County, or Fairfield County home, your attic is a great place to start. Because it sits directly under your roof, your attic receives a lot of heat from the sun that can impact your entire home!
The following are key attic services that can make a major difference to the comfort and efficiency of your entire house. Learn more about them from the experts at Healthy Home!
How You Can Save Energy in Your Attic
Air Sealing
Many homes—even well-built ones—can be full of small gaps and cracks around penetrations in your attic from things like recessed light fixtures, HVAC, plumbing and electrical penetrations that allow air in and out of your house. These gaps will continue to accumulate as you renovate and repair parts of your home, allowing pests, polluted outdoor air, and more into your home!
Air sealing a house is the process of sealing up these gaps and cracks with spray foam insulation to reduce the amount of conditioned air that can escape from your home, while also reducing the amount of polluted outdoor air that can sneak in uninvited.
Performance-based air sealing services from Healthy Home Energy & Consulting can help you save on energy costs and enjoy a more comfortable, healthier home with better indoor air quality.
Upgraded Attic Insulation
At Healthy Home Energy & Consulting, our insulation installers routinely find that homes either don't have enough insulation in their attics, or that existing insulation is too old or damaged to keep heat out during the summer months and in over the winter.
Insulation serves as a barrier that helps slow the transfer of heat between the interior and the exterior of your home. By adding insulation like cellulose insulation in your attic (the area of your home that receives the most direct exposure to heat radiation as the sun beats down on your roof) you'll be able to enjoy more consistent temperatures in your home. As a result, your HVAC systems won't have to work as hard to maintain your temperature settings, saving you in monthly energy bills for years to come.
Whether you know virtually nothing about attic insulation, or are curious to learn how insulating your attic saves money, the trusted Healthy Home team is here to help with a variety of diagnostic and insulation services.
