When should I install insulation?

Are you looking to make your home more energy-efficient? Installing insulation is a great way to improve the efficiency of your home. And with Koala Insulation of North Broward and Boca, you can get the job done quickly, easily, and affordably.

If you’re looking to increase your home’s energy efficiency, you might be wondering: Is now the best time of year to insulate? 

The first thing to consider is that this answer varies depending on where you live. If you are in a warm climate like South Florida, you would want to increase insulation before the hotter months. However, if you live in a cold climate, the best time by far to insulate a new or existing home is before the brisk weather hits. Traditionally, spring and fall have been praised as the ideal seasons to add home insulation. These are mild weather times that are perfect for home improvements in anticipation of the winter and summer and in order to keep heating bills low. Most people in South Florida wait until summer when they already feel the heat burning down on their home and insulation becomes an urgent matter. But what most people don't know is that they are already losing a lot of money on their energy bills by not preventing this urgent situation and installing insulation in spring. Insulation companies in South Florida also get fairly busy in the summer which may lead to longer wait times.

In the long term, your home will be better protected against heat loss and humidity, and you’ll be able to enjoy a more energy-efficient home for years to come.

Better too soon than a minute too late

Besides considering the weather for your insulation upgrade there are many factors that come into play to determine the best time for upgrading your insulation. Since demand peaks in the summertime, the best option is to prepare your home before the professionals are booked out. The easiest time to insulate is any time when there is work being done on the home. For example, if you are remodeling a room, adding on to the home or changing wiring or plumbing, you should determine if your home needs more insulation. A professional can quickly determine this by inspecting the amount of insulation already installed and calculating what thickness is needed based on the zone that you live in.

The time is now!

Installing new and improved insulation will help your home consume less energy while also protecting the environment. Having insulation installed during any season of the year will ensure that energy is not lost and that the environment is protected. Thousands of homeowners waste hundreds of dollars each year cooling and heating homes that leak heat from the roof, windows, doors and even walls. Having a proper R-value of insulation installed is an investment that will decrease electrical costs for air conditioning this summer, ensuring that your home’s temperature stays consistent. 

While checking your HVAC system and caulking your windows are a great first step for preparing for a new season, insulating your home may help you save considerably more.
