Although energy efficiency is important year-round, Earth Day (April 22), might give you another reason to think about it. If you’ve slowly been taking measures to decrease your energy use and be kinder to the planet, making your home more energy efficient can quickly add up towards your efforts.
When it comes to true home comfort, it’s impossible to ignore the importance of your heating and cooling system. HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems play a major role in keeping homes comfortable throughout each season of the year, and the more efficiently they run, the more comfortable the home will be at any given time. Boosting your home’s HVAC systems is an essential part of achieving great home efficiency.
If you’re a new homeowner in Pioneer Valley or just new to home efficiency, you may be in the habit of thinking about insulation as something like a blanket for your living spaces in the winter. That’s because most of us begin learning about insulation when we see the big rolls of fiberglass batt at the home center, or laid out in an attic space. There’s a better way to think about insulation here in Western Mass, and it will help you understand why insulation is just as important in the summer as it is in the winter.
You don’t have to be a home performance professional to know that insulation can make all the difference in the world during the colder months of the year, especially in the Pioneer Valley area. A well-insulated home will keep the winds at bay, ensuring you and your family are warm when the snow starts falling.
