How Does Insulation Work?
Conduction:
The process of conduction transfers heat directly through a substance. You’ve experienced conduction if you’ve ever left a spoon in a hot cup of coffee or tea and discovered that the handle became hot in a matter of minutes.
Convection:
You’ve probably heard the expression, “Hot air rises.” This statement is a description of how convection works with respect to air temperatures, and the same principle applies to other gases and liquids.
Radiation:
Radiant heat travels in a direct line from a heat source to the surrounding areas. Think about the way in which an electric stove top radiates heat into the air around it.
We’re in a position to understand how insulation works now that we understand the basics of heat flow. The primary purpose of insulation is to slow the process of conductive and convective heat flow. While you can find and install radiant heat barriers to prevent your home from warming through the heat of the sun, energy-efficient insulation is a much more common solution.
As we noted above, you’ve probably become used to the top floor of your home being much warmer than the basement, and this is because warm air has the tendency to rise until an equilibrium is reached. In the summer, the radiant heat from the sun increases the temperature inside your home and must be offset by your cooling system. In the winter, the heat your home loses must be replaced by your heating system.
Installing Energy-efficient Insulation
Invest In Energy-Efficient Insulation!
In the average household, roughly 56% of the total energy usage goes toward heating and cooling. Energy is lost through cracks, holes, your home’s roof, walls, and other areas, and investing in energy-efficient insulation is the best way to prevent this problem from raising your utility bills. In fact, the United States Department of Energy estimates that you can save up to 20% on your monthly heating and cooling bills by properly insulating your home!
As Colorado residents ourselves, we’re no strangers to the dynamic climate of our state. Coloradans need effective heating during the winter and refreshing, cool air during the heat of the summer. Our talented insulation contractors will come to your home and perform an efficiency assessment that pinpoints any areas where your home is losing energy. We’ll then make a recommendation based on your specific needs. Whether you need energy-efficient insulation in just one room or your home could use new insulation in the walls, crawl space, and attic, we’ll provide you with everything you need to know in order to make a smart and informed decision.
