When a house is poorly insulated, it constantly loses conditioned air and gains outside air, forcing the furnace or air conditioner to run longer and more frequently to maintain the thermostat’s set temperature. This continuous […]
Proper insulation installation is one of the most effective ways to improve a home’s energy efficiency and comfort.
