During the hottest part of summer and coldest months of winter, it's almost painful to have to look at your utility bills to assess the damage. Sometimes it can be rough. However, there are things that you can do to improve your energy bill situation. Although securing the weather seals around your doors and windows can help, one of the most important and often overlooked parts of the energy loss in your home is the quality of your insulation. Have you ever been up in your attic to assess the situation? Insulation is the most important factor in the energy retention and loss of your home. One of the most common types of home insulation is bats or blankets of fiberglass material. Although this is not the most energy efficient type of insulation, it's often the cheapest, which is the reason for its popularity. Another common type of insulation is foam. Foam can be installed in boards in attics and walls or blown in wet in attics and walls where it dries quickly into position. However, one of the most efficient types of insulation is loose-fill insulation, which is typically blown into place. Loose-fill is made of small particles of paper, fiber, foam, or other materials. The benefit of loose-fill is that it can conform to any space without disturbing any structures or finishes. Most often it is installed in spaces such as attics or walls. Another benefit of loose-fill is that it is often made up of mostly recycled materials such as newsprint or recycled glass.
