Heat loss speeds up when the temperature is colder outside. Insulation slows down heat loss and helps your home stay warmer for longer before your thermostat makes a call to the heating system for more heat.
To get the biggest savings, the easiest place to add insulation is usually in the attic. 25% to 35% of a home's heat escapes through the roof. A quick way to see if a home needs more insulation is to look across the uncovered attic floor. If the insulation is level with or below the attic floor joists, more insulation is probably needed. PUD 3 may be able to help increase your home's insulation levels. Learn more about insulation incentives.
