Your attic doesn’t have to be a liability when it comes to saving on your energy bills. By making the following improvements to your attic, you can enhance your home’s overall energy efficiency while cutting down your monthly energy bills.
Seal Those Gaps
In warmer weather, it’s possible for air-conditioned air to escape through the numerous cracks and gaps found throughout your home. To improve your attic and energy efficiency, the best solution is to seal each one, especially those found behind attic insulation and around windows. Sealing up those unused spaces and covering up holes left by utilities and plumbing can also help improve overall energy efficiency and home comfort.
Improve Your Insulation
Poorly insulated spaces rob your home of cool air during the summer months and allow cold air to soak in during the winter. Adding just the right type and amount of insulation to your attic can help lower your monthly utility bills, reduce wear and tear on HVAC components and improve home comfort.
Make Sure Your Attic is Well-Ventilated
Last but not least, proper ventilation keeps your attic free of excess moisture while improving indoor air quality. Most experts recommend using ridge and soffit vents for attic air flow.
Following these three tips can help you maintain the cool air within your home and help your home’s HVAC system work more efficiently.
