ENERGY STAR estimates that sealing air leaks and adding insulation save 15% on home heating and cooling costs for an average home in the U.S.
Before installing attic insulation – or doing any home upgrade – it’s important to consider how the upgrade will affect other areas of your home.
For example, a less reputable Phoenix insulation company may propose insulating your attic without sealing and insulating the ducts in your home.
This would be a huge missed opportunity. Sealing and insulating ducts saves an additional 20% on average energy bills. What’s more, sealing ducts keeps particulates from entering your HVAC system – clogging your air filter and potentially hurting your indoor air quality.
Here at AZ Energy Efficient Home, we always take a whole-home perspective. When we assess a home, we consider the full potential for air sealing, duct sealing, insulation, and more.
