Maintaining Attic Insulation in the Summer is Just As Vital As in Winter, Says Clean Crawls
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) April 15, 2014 -- It’s common knowledge that a well-insulated attic will help to keep the heat in the home and cut heat costs during winter months, but it is less widely acknowledged that proper attic insulation can also save money during summer. Clean Crawls, a professional attic and crawl space maintenance company, explains in detail how and why a poorly insulated attic costs homeowners extra cash in summer.
“Insulation is used to regulate temperatures by inhibiting the transfer of heat from one place to another,” Clean Crawls explains. “In the wintertime, insulation hinders the house’s heat from leaching into the frigid winter outside. In the same way, the warmth generated by the bright yellow heater in the sky cannot sabotage your air conditioned home if insulation stands in its way.”
The article goes on to point out that attics that are allowed to reach high temperatures can cause damage to personal belongings stored in them, such as books, photographs, candles, furniture, or items of leather or wood.
Finally, the article reminds homeowners that high temperatures combined with moisture are a perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. Mold will not only damage the structural integrity of the home, the article states, but will also flood the air of the home with mycotoxins, which can be dangerous and detrimental to homeowners health.
“We passionately care about educating homeowners on how to properly care for the health of their families and the integrity of their home,” Clean Crawls says, “and we are devoted to helping them do so.”
