There are a lot of ways to strengthen the efficiency of a home. And those of us interested in changing our energy consumption habits could be influenced by a few different factors: we’ve become environmentally conscious and feel a sense of responsibility to reduce our energy usage; we feel motivated to reach for a level of self-sufficiency; we feel it’s a smart investment financially; we think it could make our lives more comfortable. Those are some of the main reasons.
Fortunately for us, we live in a time where there are options for becoming more efficient and energy-independent. There are geothermal heat pumps, electricity-generating solar panels and solar water heaters. Of a separate token, we can retrofit our homes with air sealing and newer insulation to greatly increase thermal performance, and consequently reduce consumption.
Assured Insulation Solutions advocates each of these methods, and is invested in helping you understand the energy usage of your home. We also understand that these steps in efficiency come with different financial implications; solar panels are likely to have a longer return on investment than new insulation, which might pay for itself and more in just a couple years.
Go ahead and ask us how we can reduce your energy consumption (and bills) while making your home more comfortable in the process.
