This week on Ours to Protect Max offers tips on how to best insulate your home.
Assess your home: Start by evaluating the insulation in your home. Check for any areas that may be lacking insulation or have gaps that need to be sealed.
Identify the problem areas: Look for common problem areas such as windows, doors and attics.
Insulate your attic: The attic is a major source of heat loss or gain.
Insulate walls and crawl spaces: Properly insulating walls and crawl spaces can also make a big difference. Consider using insulation materials like fibreglass, cellulose, or spray foam to improve energy efficiency.
Seal air leaks: Identify and seal any air leaks in your home such as around windows, doors and electrical outlets.
Hire a professional: If you’re unsure about the insulation needs in your home, it’s always a good idea to consult with a professional.
Remember, investing in proper insulation can not only help conserve energy but also provide long-term savings on your utility bills.
