The three pillars of conservation are renew, reuse and recycle but we should add another pillar to conservation and that is reduce. When we reduce our use of energy it has many positive spin-offs for our society and our pocketbook. Using less energy helps green the environment and through those reductions we can save money on household budget. Technology has provided many innovations that can help us with that task through the use of energy efficient appliances, electric cars and drawing energy from non-traditional sources to power our world. Taking stock of home can provide many choices to help with reduction of energy use, and as simple as it sounds light timers can big impact when all use them. Other projects like upgrading windows and doors are beneficial, but they are expensive and the return takes many years due to the costs. For the cost-conscious consumer, attic insulation in Port Elgin can be the best way to reduce energy costs and protect your roofing system.

Studies that have been released over the years warn that over 40 per cent of home’s heat loss can be tied to poor or non-existent attic insulation in Port Elgin and other communities. When we come to your home to upgrade your attic insulation, there are a couple of details that needed to be addressed before we install the blown-in loose fill attic insulation we use. First we need to determine if the air and moisture barriers are in tact and if they aren’t we will need to replace them to create and air and moisture tight seal. Once that issue has been taken care of, we can install the loose fill that will act like a blanket to keep your home comfortable and protect your shingles. Attic insulation combined with a soffit for ventilation will keep excessive heat from being vented through the shingles, and that in turn will extend the life span of your roofing system. When you think in terms of energy efficiency, attic insulation has many positive benefits that most people aren’t aware of and we at AM Roofing Solutions can bring those hidden benefits into the light of day.
