A-1 Insulation can reduce your energy costs by minimizing the transfer of heat between your home and the outside air. It also works to stabilize indoor temperatures, keeping them cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Insulating your attic, floors, crawl spaces, and accessible basement rim joists can lower your energy bills by 11 percent or more.

But different types of insulation work better in different climates and conditions. And, if you aren’t diligent about regular maintenance, your home’s insulation can lose its effectiveness over time, increasing your heating and cooling costs.

Off-Season Insulation: Pros and Cons of Upgrading When Demand Is Low

During the spring and summer, homeowners have an ideal window of opportunity to upgrade their homes’ insulation. The weather is warm enough to work outdoors, and contractors aren’t as busy as they are during the winter, allowing you to enjoy competitive pricing and faster installation times.

Upgrading your attic or crawl space in the spring helps keep cool air in and hot, humid outside air out–reducing the load on your AC system to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. It also allows you to start cashing in on your energy savings right away, instead of waiting for the winter to roll around.

Cellulose insulation, made of recycled paper and wood products, is available in loose-fill form that makes it easy to fit into hard-to-reach crevices or nooks and crannies. It’s also treated to improve fire resistance, and is a good choice for living areas that require soundproofing or to limit the spread of heat between adjacent walls.
