Is Your Home Ready For Summer?

When looking at these pictures, what do you notice? Is it the fact there is snow on the roof of only one of the homes? Why is that and what does it have to do with your home being ready for summer? Read on to find out.

The answer to your question is air sealing and insulation. In previous blogs we talked about the value of air-sealing your home and then adding attic insulation. A home without air-sealing allows the heated, paid-for air to leak out of the home through the attic insulation melting the snow off of the roof of the home.

What does that have to do with summer, you ask? Well, the exact opposite occurs. A home without air-sealing allows your cold, paid-for air to escape the home, causing you to have to pay more in cooling costs.
