If you’ve recently purchased a home in Illinois and are looking for ways in which to make it as efficient as possible, look no further than insulation from Assured Insulation Solutions.
The Dangers of Poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
Have you ever thought about the quality of your indoor air? It’s something that often goes overlooked, especially in homes where people are so busy they rarely get a moment to slow down. The fact is, a lack of insulation and air sealing can result in fumes from the garage and outdoors entering the home. It may sound shocking, but given that as many as 90% of U.S. homes are affected by a lack of insulation, poor indoor air quality (IAQ) is actually a much larger problem than most people realize.
Indoor air quality may suffer when insulation is lacking, but so does energy efficiency and indoor comfort. Have you ever noticed those pesky drafts that never seem to disappear on windy days? This is most likely due to insufficient insulation and air sealing. Fortunately, fixing the problem isn’t quite as difficult as you might think.
