Insulation Benefits
How Insulation Works.
Heat is always trying to reach equilibrium (an average or medium temperature), this means that heat will flow towards an area or material that is cooler than itself. A good example of this would be an iceblock on a hot plate, the heat in the plate flows into the iceblock making the ice warmer (melting it) and the reducing the heat in the plate.
This type of heat flow occurs on a larger level throughout your home. During a hot day the heat in the air and on the roof outside is flowing into the cooler area within your home - making the temperature rise. The opposite occurs during winter - the heat from your fire or electric heater inside is trying to flow out of the house to warm up the cold surrounding environment.
Insulation acts as a barrier between different temperature zones, stopping or slowing the flow of heat. The result is that your home remains cooler in summer and warmer in winter, resulting in less power required for temperature control such as airconditioners and heaters.
The Benefits of Insulation.
- comfort is improved year-round;
- it reduces the cost of heating and cooling by over 40%
- it pays for itself in around five to six years (immediately with the free insulation offer, saving you several hundred dollars per year)
- there is less need for heating and cooling which saves non-renewable resources and reduces greenhouse gas emissions
- it virtually eliminates condensation on walls and ceilings; and
- some insulation materials can also be used for sound proofing.
