Insulate Properly – Save Money!
Did you know that about half of your total utility bill pays for heating and cooling your home?
In fact, the Department of Energy (DOE) recommends that an investment of a few hundred dollars in insulation can reduce heating and cooling needs by about 30%. That means major savings—money right back in your pocket—month after month, year after year.
XPS insulation products will get the job done – adding comfort to your home’s occupants, reducing your monthly utility bills and helping to control moisture intrusion, all while protecting it against air infiltration.
Why is insulation important?
Selecting the proper type and thickness of XPS insulation in your home can provide a continuous thermal barrier, minimizing the heat-flow through the walls, ceilings, and floors. The result is a more comfortable home with reduced heating and cooling costs. Insulation levels are specified by R-value (thermal resistance). Inch for inch, the long-term R-value of XPS foam insulation products are among the best. R-value is a measure of the insulation’s ability to resist heat traveling through it; the higher the R-value, the greater the insulating value.
