Getting Your Home Summer-Ready: Insulation Tips and Tricks | Koala Ins

As the temperature starts to climb, it's time to make sure your home is prepared for the summer heat. At Koala Insulation of North Houston, we know that good insulation is key to keeping your home cool and your energy bills down.

Here are some tips and tricks to help you get your home ready for the warmer months ahead.

Assess Your Insulation

Start by taking a look at the insulation in your home. Check for any areas where insulation may be lacking or damaged, such as in the attic, walls, and crawl spaces. Even rooms that seem too warm or really humid can indicate an insulation problem as well, so don’t be afraid to investigate further!

Inadequate insulation can lead to higher energy costs and discomfort during hot weather. If you find any issues, it might be time to consider upgrading your insulation.

Seal Air Leaks Air leaks can make it harder to keep your home cool in the summer. Check around windows, doors, and ductwork for gaps or cracks, and seal them with caulking or weatherstripping.

This will help prevent cool air from escaping and warm air from entering your home, improving energy efficiency and comfort. If the air stays circulating in your rooms for longer before moving up and out, you will experience increased comfort without sacrificing your wallet in the process.

Upgrade Your Insulation Consider upgrading your insulation to a higher R-value to better resist heat transfer. This will help keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, saving you money on energy bills year-round.

Our team at Koala Insulation of North Houston can help you choose the right insulation for your needs and ensure it's properly installed for maximum effectiveness. Spray foam and batt insulation are both great options for beating the heat without breaking your budget!
