Install (more) ceiling and wall insulation
With too little ceiling and wall insulation, a lot of warmth escapes your building through your ceilings and walls in the winter, and a lot of coolness escapes in the summer. This can be easily prevented by putting insulation into your attic areas above ceilings and in your walls.
What You Need to Do
-
Step 1A building contractor can install insulation in your attic. Ceiling insulation is a relatively inexpensive material; it is typically blown into your attic spaces to about a foot in depth, or inserted within vaulted ceilings. Be sure to select insulation with at least an energy performance profile outlined below.
Recommendation:
Visit our insulation rebates page to learn more or to find a contractor.
