5 Ways to Make Your Attic More Energy Efficient
posted at 2020-01-14
Many people forget about their attic entrance when they begin the process of making their attic more efficient. Whether you have a hinged door, a hatch with pull-down steps (as shown in the above image), or a panel in a crawl space that grants you attic, you need to make sure that this space is also insulated and sealed.
There are specific types of attic insulation available that can cover the back of a door or insulate a set of pull-down steps. You can also install weather stripping around the door or panel itself to help prevent air leaks at this crucial juncture. If your attic entrance isn't fitted correctly, it could be leaking warm or cool air constantly, raising your energy bills, so it is important to make sure it's properly seated, insulated and sealed at all times.
Improve your overall all efficiency
Improving your attic energy efficiency will improve the efficiency and comfort of your whole home. Adding insulation, sealing air leaks, including a radiant barrier and adding a fan will all help keep your energy bills lower year-round. By improving the efficiency of your attic today, you will start to enjoy a more comfortable and efficient home while reducing your utility bills.
