Home Energy Efficiency: Stop Letting Out All Your Cool Air
As summer heat and humidity intensify, you might be letting more of your air-conditioned air leak out of your home than you expected.
Why pay to cool off the great outdoors, especially with energy prices as high as they are?
It's easy to forget how important good sealing and insulation are for a home, but 90 percent of U.S. homes don't meet modern insulation standards. The consequences can be hard to see, too, but they can be things like:
- Higher energy costs to heat and cool your home
- Shorter lifespans for your HVAC systems and roof
- Uneven heating and cooling in certain spaces
- Drafts near doors and windows
- Increased pollen, dust, and moisture infiltrating the home and exacerbating allergies
We're entering peak energy consumption months for most HVAC systems, so now's a great time to see if your home has quality insulation. Insulation can settle, experience wear and tear, and deteriorate due to moisture over time, but the EPA estimates that properly sealing a home and insulating an attic could reduce energy costs by an average of 11 percent.
