Atlanta Insulation: How Does Insulation Improve Efficiency?
December 17, 2012

Poor insulation allows heat to escape right through the holes and gaps in your home envelope. This is a serious issue that can greatly reduce the efficiency of your Atlanta home heating system. Contact Comfort Zone Heating & Air today if you are concerned about poor insulation in your home.

Insulation improves the efficiency with which you both heat and cool your home. When it is cold outside heated air will automatically want to escape from your home. Proper insulation prevents this from happening. Insulation can come in a few different forms, such as a spray or rolled in mats. Regardless of how it is installed it is always used to keep the air that you have paid to heat or cool in your house where it belongs.

Insulation does not only help to insulate the walls of your home, though. It performs much the same function with your air ducts and even water pipes. Air ducts are a major source of energy loss in many homes, especially when located in unfinished areas such as basements or attics. Insulating these air ducts helps keep energy from escaping through them just as it does the walls of your home. Water pipes may also be insulated to keep hot water hot as it travels throughout your home. You can even by precut insulation jackets for your water heater to prevent standby energy losses.

If you suspect that you are paying too much to heat and cool your home in Atlanta you may have an insulation problem. Contact Comfort Zone Heating & Air to find out for sure. There are a lot of factors that can affect efficiency in your home. Improving insulation, though, is one of the simplest and most affordable ways to improve overall efficiency.
