Attics must be insulated to ensure that your home does not suffer from energy loss. If your attic is not insulated, the warm air in the winter and the cold air in the summer coming from your HVAC system will just escape from the attic and bring in all the air that you don't want. This means working your HVAC system harder than you should. Here are three steps to ensure that your attic is insulated properly:
When following these three steps to create an insulated attic, you may come to find that your attic has insulation already. It's important to determine whether or not it's insulation that may contain asbestos, which is commonly found when repairing the insulation in the attic of older homes. This is because Zonolite insulation was often used, which may contain asbestos. You will notice this if you find that the old insulation is hard and made of lightweight, shiny pellets. Call for inspection right away if this is the case.
Once you are ready to continue with new insulation, be sure that you hire professionals, such as from Bay City Insulation, for properly insulation. If you do prefer to do it on your own, at least call professionals for inspection to be sure that it's been done right.
One of the things that I always loved about spring as a kid was watching all of the flowers my mother planted suddenly come up from the ground and then bloom into vibrant, beautiful colors. When I bought my own house, one of the first things I wanted to do was plant flowers. What I didn't realize was how hard it could be to figure out what to plant where. From the sun demand to the companion planting guides, it was complicated. I created this site to help others just like me create the flower gardens they always wanted without the struggles that I faced.
