In a today's economy, saving a little money will go a long way.
It seems the price of everything is on the rise, including energy costs.
Consuming high amounts of energy is not only bad for the environment - it is detrimental to your wallet.
One way to cut down on energy costs is making sure your home is properly insulated.
Foil insulation is a little pricier than traditional fiberglass insulation, but by paying a little more upfront, you will save even more during a harsh winter or sweltering summer.
Traditional fiberglass insulation is hazardous to your lungs and to your skin.
Fiberglass insulation gets its name from the microscopic fiberglass it contains.
Breathing in fiberglass and coming into contact with it has been linked to many health hazards, including lung cancer.
In addition to the health dangers, fiberglass insulation does not insulate as well as foil insulation.
Fiberglass insulation loses its effectiveness as it settles over time and absorbs moisture from the air.
Additionally, fiberglass insulation is more likely to develop mold as time goes on as a result of the moisture is absorbs from the air.
A great alternative to this traditional insulation is foil insulation.
This eco-friendly type of insulation is strong but light-weight as well as non-toxic.
This makes installation clean and easy - as well as non-hazardous to your health.
Another benefit, foil insulation is not affected by humidity and does not run the risk of developing dangerous mold down the line.
This type of insulation is more effective than fiberglass insulation due to the fact that it reflects, bouncing heat off your home in the summer when the thermometer is hovering around 90 degrees and bouncing the cold off during those cold winter months.
It then reflects the heat or cool back into your home, cutting down on the amount you need to run your furnace or air conditioner.
Foil insulation will also not lose its effectiveness over time, there is no settling or moisture absorption to decrease the performance.
Saving money is something everyone is trying to do these days.
Energy costs get more and more expensive each year and the seasons get more extreme as time goes on as well.
By properly insulating your home, you will save money on home energy costs during all seasons of the year as well as help the environment out with the reduced amount of energy you will consume.
