Did you know that as much as a third of your heating costs could be escaping through your roof? Making sure your attic and walls are properly insulated is one of the simplest things you can do, and could result in significant savings on your energy bills. Proper insulation will result in an even temperature in your home in the cooler months, can help to prevent condensation on the walls and ceilings, and even reduce the amount of heat building up inside your home during summer hot spells. If you have a moisture/condensation problem in your attic, wet attic insulation is not effective in reducing energy costs.
Proper attic ventilation is important to reduce dampness that can lead to wood rot and the formation of mould and mildew. Through a combination of proper insulation, air sealing and ventilation you can help prolong the life of your roof.
