As spring turns into summer and temperatures rise here in California, most of us are trying to stay cool by cranking up the AC. But unless your house is properly air sealed and insulated, all of the nice cool air your AC creates will be pushed out by hot, outside air, leaving you with ultra-high cooling bills and an uncomfortable home. So how do you solve the problem? Upgrading your insulation and air sealing is the best place to start. 

What Are the Benefits of Insulation and Air Sealing? 

Many homeowners wonder whether attic insulation and air sealing is worth it, and the answer is: yes, absolutely. Adding insulation and air sealing to your attic, basement, and exterior walls is one of the most valuable and cost-effective energy efficiency upgrades you can make to your home and will lead to benefits like: 

  • Increased home comfort 

  • More consistent interior temperatures

  • Lower cooling costs 

  • Better indoor air quality 

  • Less energy waste 

Insulation and Air Sealing Work Better Together 

Insulation and air sealing are technically two separate home improvement projects, but they work much better when done together. 

Air sealing is the process of closing up all the small gaps and cracks in your home’s construction (called air leaks) in order to prevent unregulated air flow. This stops heat from moving by air (in a process known as convection) but does nothing to prevent heat from transferring between materials (conduction). That’s why you need home insulation, too, which works to prevent heat from moving between materials. Together, insulation and air sealing will keep conditioned air contained and prevent outside heat from getting into your home. 

What Type of Insulation Is Best for Your Home? 

There are many different types of insulation including:
