The Surprising Benefits of Our Attic Restoration Process
When homeowners consider attic insulation, it's almost always because they want to keep their home cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and reduce their heating and cooling bills. However, our attic restoration process offers a host of other advantages that can make you feel like you live in a 5-star hotel. Attic restoration involves the removal of the old insulation in your attic, cleaning, sanitizing, and air-sealing it, then installing new insulation to bring you up to Energy Star recommendations. Here are some peripheral benefits of that process that you may not be aware of.
1. Enhanced Noise Reduction
Proper insulation not only blocks the transfer of heat but also the transfer of noise. insulation is its ability to reduce noise. It reduces sound transmission, making your home quieter. Whether it’s the sound of rain hitting the roof, airplanes flying overhead, or the hustle and bustle of nearby traffic, blown-in fiberglass insulation helps to minimize these external noises. If you have small children or are like me and want your home to be your quiet sanctuary, noise reduction is a huge benefit.
2. Improved Indoor Air Quality
An attic restoration can also greatly contribute to better indoor air quality. Because we air-seal your holes, gaps, and cracks in your attic using closed-cell foam, it helps prevent the infiltration of outdoor pollutants, allergens, and dust into your living space. Customers that suffer from asthma or allergies often tell us that they noticed an immediate difference in their symptoms after we’ve completed their attic restoration.
Many people think that their health symptoms are exacerbated by outdoor pollutants, but the truth is “the call is coming from inside the house!” Your dirty, dusty attic, when not air-sealed, leaks its contaminated air into the living spaces of your home. By sealing the air leakage points during an attic restoration, the amount of contaminants and irritants that enter your home is reduced, leading to a healthier indoor environment.
3. Pest Deterrence
Pests like rodents and insects can be a major pain if they enter your attic, but blown-in fiberglass insulation can deter them. The insulation reduces the likelihood of them getting cozy in your attic and making it their new home. During our attic restoration process, we identify potential rodent entry points and install barriers specifically designed to block rodents from entering.
4. Increased Home Value
Investing in an attic restoration can also enhance the value of your home. Potential buyers will see the value in a home that is energy efficient because it will save them energy and money over time. You can also mention the improvement in indoor air quality as a selling point for health-conscious folks. Upon request, we provide our attic restoration customers with a case study they can provide to potential buyers. This includes a before-and-after comparison that illustrates the difference in energy consumption and shows the impact on heating and cooling bills. The ability to show proof of reduced energy consumption may allow you to sell your home at a higher price.
5. Eco-Friendly Choice
Blown-in fiberglass insulation is an environmentally friendly insulation option. It's often made from recycled materials, and can even be recycled rather than dumped. Our attic restorations will help you slash your energy consumption by up to 50%, which not only saves you money, but also reduces the strain you put on the environment.
