How Insulation Works

To maintain comfort in your home, the heat lost in the winter must be replaced by your heating system and the heat gained in the summer must be removed by your air conditioner. Insulating ceilings decreases this heat flow by providing an effective resistance to the flow of heat.

Heat flows naturally from a warmer place to a cooler space. In winter, heat flow moves directly from heated living spaces to adjacent unheated attics, garages, or to the outdoors; or indirectly through interior ceilings, walls, and floors – wherever there is a difference in temperature. During the cooling season, heat flows from outdoors to the house interior.

Insulation is rated in terms of thermal resistance, called R-value, which indicates the resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness. The R-value of thermal insulation depends on the type of material, its thickness, and its density. In calculating the R-value of a multi-layered installation, the R-values of the individual layers are added.

Additional Benefit: Increased Home Value!

Adding fiberglass insulation is easy and can increase the value of your home. By raising the levels of fiber glass insulation in your home, you can make your home more valuable because of its increased energy efficiency. And when it comes time to sell your home, it may be more valuable in the marketplace.

Insulation is an investment that pays for itself many times over. The initial cost to install insulation are typically recouped in three to seven years depending on how much more you add. And, fiberglass insulation continues to save energy and help lower bills for the life of your house.
