Insulation is a vital part of home maintenance but is often overlooked. Most people don’t realize that maintaining a comfortable temperature in a room is not just about turning the thermostat dial.

Screensavers professionals give us some tips on how to properly insulate your home so that you are comfortable and safe during all seasons. This is also how you can lower your energy bills.

How to Insulate your home

Evaluation of Heating Zone

The term “heating zone” refers to the areas of your home where you and your family spend the majority of your time. Locate them (e.g., living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, etc.). Before calling a specialist, you should do some research. You’ll be able to identify which areas need reinforcement in terms of cooling and insulating.

HVAC Maintenance

Even in seasons when you may not rely as heavily on HVACs, regular HVAC maintenance is still necessary. Filters can become clogged and cluttered, which is often the main reason these machines fail.

It’s also not just that unmaintained air conditioners don’t emit the temperature they are set to (due to problems within the device, from clogged filters to damaged condensers). Their working capacity determines the air quality.

It is a great way to improve the insulation of your home. Also ensures that you are breathing clean air free from harmful microbes and dust.

Brighter Space

Underestimate the power of natural lighting. Open the curtains now and then to create insulation. By moving tall furniture away from windows, you can do some interior redesigning.

This will extend the shelf life of the insulating device.

Allowing the sun to bring in natural lighting is also a mood booster. Brightly lit rooms can lift a room’s mood. So, win-win!

A second option is to replace opaque, thick curtains with sheers. If you want to use sheer drapes, install a second curtain rod. You can pull back the opaque curtains during the day to let the sunlight shine through and slide their opaque pair back at night.

Re-Glazing

Re-glaze your windows. Call in professionals to add layers and to other openings, such as ventilation screens and doors. Glazing is essentially a window replacement.

Double-glazing windows are important for better insulation. Studies show that they prevent heat loss by at least 30% compared to standard panes.

Double-glazed windows reduce noise and increase security. They are also tougher and more durable.

Attic Insulation

Remember to insulate the attic, even if it is mainly used as storage space. Professional contractors add layers of insulation to the floor joists, perpendicular beams, and even the perpendicular beams.
