Why Re-insulate?
Re-insulating will save you money.
The average home owner pays a lot of money to condition their air through heat and air conditioning systems. If you have poor insulation it will allow that air to escape your home. Which in return means you are wasting a lot of money on inefficient heating and cooling.
Insulation protects the environment.
12% of your carbon footprint consists of your use of electricity
50% to 70% of the energy used by your home consists of heating and cooling
Did you know that if homes across the world were properly insulated, it would take just 10 years to see a reduction of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere totaling more than 293.5 billion pounds, according to a study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health?
In that same study the Harvard School of Public Health estimated that if every family in the United States properly insulated their homes, there would be:
110,000 less sick days every year
240 less premature deaths every year
6,500 less asthma attacks every year
