Insulation is a vital part of insuring you will stay warm in the winter. Well insulated walls, floors, attic, as well as good windows can make all the difference for you and your family while in your home. Not only will it keep you and yours warm, but it will save you money too. But what about the summer?
While winters in Michigan can be cold with temperatures dropping below zero and snow accumulating to several feet sometimes, summers can be on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, with temperatures creeping above 100 degrees. What a crazy state we live in. Insulation is a critical part in surviving the winter, but it can be equally important in the summer. It is recommended that homes in Michigan have insulation with an R factor of 49. R-49 is roughly 15.5” of attic insulation. In the winter, insulation keeps the heat in your home where it should be, making sure your home stays nice and toasty. In the summer, it keeps the heat outside, insuring that your air conditioner isn’t working overtime by making sure your house stays comfortable. A well-insulated house keeps a consistent temperature in the winter as well as the summer, saving you money on heating AND cooling bills. It is one of the home improvements that will pay for itself and then some with time. If you like saving money, call Starrs Roofing today and schedule an appointment with our team to insure your home is ready for the summer temperatures as well as the coming winter temperatures.
