How much of an impact can my insulation actually have?

You may be skeptical about the ways that insulation can impact your home. Since 1992, Bennett Insulation has helped homeowners and businesses keep their spaces cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Our Cellulose Insulation is an industry-leading technology, and we know that it makes an impact on the comfort of our customers’ spaces.

But how does it really help? Let’s break it down for you in several different ways.

Thermal Resistance: What it is, and what it means for your energy consumption

One of the best parts of our cellulose insulation has better thermal resistance than fiberglass insulation. Studies have shown that fiberglass insulation performance degrades with temperatures outdoors more than 30° cooler than indoor temperatures, while our cellulose insulation remains stable.

Here is a quick graph illustration that explains this in a bit more detail.

As temperatures outside become as many as 80 degrees cooler than indoor temperatures, our Cellulose Insulation continues to hold up against those winter conditions whereas fiberglass insulation may not.

A quick way to understand this: as it gets colder outside, the heat in your home can escape better through fiberglass insulation than with our eco-friendly cellulose insulation.

So what does this mean for you?

Some studies have shown that our Cellulose Insulation can save as much as 25 percent on your energy costs over other types of insulation. Insulation manufacturers even have a calculator that you can use to estimate how much money and energy you can save per year using our insulation.

Not only are there cost factors that are a benefit to using cellulose materials, but there are also fire, mildew, and mold repelling features to our insulation. Homes and businesses that have been insulated with our cellulose insulation, it has been proven to slow down the spread of fires and enable you to save precious items from your home. In addition to being treated with fire-retardant chemicals, our cellulose insulation is pre-treated to prevent the growth of mildew and mold inside walls.

One additional benefit: our insulation is pre-treated using EPA-approved insect repellant.

The bottom line

Save money. Save energy. Save your home from pests, and destruction. These are the benefits of using our cellulose insulation.
