As temperatures rise in the Lehigh Valley, keeping your home cool becomes a top priority. While cranking up the AC seems like the obvious solution, it can lead to skyrocketing energy bills. The good news? Quality insulation can play a major role in keeping your home comfortable and energy-efficient all summer long. At Lehigh Valley Insulation, we specialize in helping homeowners beat the heat by upgrading their insulation. Here’s how quality insulation can keep your home cooler and save you money.
Upgrade Your Attic Insulation
Your attic is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to heat gain in your home. Without proper insulation, the sun’s heat can penetrate through the roof and make your entire house feel like an oven. Blown-in fiberglass insulation is a great solution, as it fills every nook and cranny, even in hard-to-reach areas. We recommend insulating your attic to meet the state energy code of R-38 or greater for maximum cooling efficiency.
Seal Air Leaks for a Tighter Home
Even the most quality insulation can’t do its job if your home has air leaks. Small gaps around windows, doors, and vents allow warm air to enter and cool air to escape. Sealing these leaks with caulking or weather stripping helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature, reducing the strain on your cooling system.
Install a Draft Cap for Your Attic Stairway
Did you know that the attic door is one of the biggest gaps in home insulation? Without proper coverage, hot air seeps into your living space, making your AC work overtime. Our Draft Cap attic stairway insulator is a simple but effective solution that prevents air leakage and improves overall insulation performance. It’s lightweight, easy to install, and meets all current energy codes.
Insulate Your Basement and Garage
Many homeowners overlook their basement and garage when it comes to quality insulation. However, warm air can still be lost through uninsulated spaces, leading to temperature imbalances throughout your home. Insulating basement rim joists and garage ceilings can help regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs.
Consider Exterior Wall Insulation
Your home’s exterior walls act as a barrier between you and the scorching summer heat. If your home feels drafty or struggles to maintain a consistent temperature, it may be time to upgrade your wall insulation. At Lehigh Valley Insulation, we specialize in re-insulating existing walls with minimal disruption to your home’s structure, helping you stay cool while lowering energy consumption.
