Home Insulation Tips
Home Tip: Insulation!
Insulating your home can be an inexpensive way to keep your home warm throughout the winter and save you money on your heating bills. Â It’s a no brainer- keep the heat your paying for INSIDE your home, while keeping the cold winter air OUT. Â Follow these easy steps to get your home properly insulated, and if you haven’t checked your home’s insulation in the last 5 years, take a look around your home to make sure it’s still functioning properly.
- Insulate your attic, walls, ceilings and floors to prevent heat loss.
- Let the sun shine: open drapes during the day to capture warmth and close them at night to prevent heat loss through windows.
- Heavy drapes or quilted shades make great winter window coverings. If they cover an area larger than the window itself, they are also adding insulation value to your walls.
