Why Should You Insulate Crawl Spaces?

Posted on on May 17th, 2015

If you’re like most homeowners, you probably don’t spend a lot of time looking in the crawl spaces of your home.  Although these areas are often neglected, it’s still important that you take the time to insulate these parts of your home.  Here are just a few of the reasons why it’s so important to insulate the crawl spaces in your home.

 

Benefits of Insulating Crawl Spaces:

  • Comfort – Although you don’t spend time accessing your crawl spaces on a regular bases, insulating this part of your home often makes the rooms above your crawl space feel more comfortable!  Insulated crawl spaces lead to fewer drafts and the temperature is better regulated.
  • Air Quality – Spring allergies are in full force.  By insulating the crawl spaces in your home you can keep dust, dirt, moisture, and pollen out of your home.  Insulation helps protect your walls and keeps the air that you breathe cleaner.
  • Energy – Gaps in your home insulation lead to energy loss.  By insulating your crawl spaces, your home does a better job of regulating energy.  This keeps your HVAC system from overworking.
  • Money – Since your air conditioning system isn’t working as hard to keep your home cool, you’ll save money on your energy bill!

Could Not Be Beat
"I was impressed from the start with Tom the sales rep. He took detailed measurements to accurately determine the volume of foam necessary for the job. And his quote detailed the full scope of work. Other estimates were higher and did not include the site prep to protect my windows and floor. I would have had to do that myself! I got three other estimates and Good Life Energy Savers just could not be beat. When I decided to change the application from the interior of my cathedral ceiling to the exterior on my roof in order to preserve my tongue & groove ceiling Mike project mgr. came out and reassured me that they could execute this without a problem. This was a huge relief as I had been trying to solve the problem of heat loss for many years. Juan and David performed outstandingly! They were conscience during the installation and the clean up afterward.They literally went above and beyond! The room is now easily holding a consistent temperature and I could not be happier. I should have done this years ago!"

Excellent
"Excellent . The Estimator showed up 2 minutes before the appointed time & after a quick 20-minute survey of the exterior of the house, was able to give me a written estimate. The rest of the job was conducted in similar fashion. The installation crew showed up on time, were competant & courteous & completed job on time. When completed, I was asked to walk the job to make sure the cleanup was acceptable. Not enough "cold" time has gone by for me to comment on the reduction in heating costs but as for the work, this outfit gets my unqualified recommendation."
