What are Your Options to Keep Your Heat From Escaping Through the Attic

As long as heat rises, and it always will, your energy dollars will attempt to escape out of your attic.

Without getting too detailed in the solutions, there are several types of attic insulation. To name the more common:

  • loose fill
  • foam
  • radiant barrier
  • batt

Choosing the type of attic insulation requires a review of your existing construction, needs and what you want to accomplish.

Attic InsulationOne of the questions you may have is whether you want or need the insulation on the roof or the floor of the attic. If the attic has free airflow, you may want to lay the insulation on the floor of the attic.

Another consideration is if your joists are even or uneven If the joists are even, batt is a workable insulation choice. In the case the joists are not uniform, you may need to use loose fill or foam.

Loose fill attic insulation is contained in large bags and the installation process involves the blowing of the loose fill into the attic. Foam is similar, but requires more technical expertise than blowing in loose fill. Radiant barrier is also an installation that requires technical ability and has several variants, such as solid sheets or a liquid. Again, the choice becomes dependent on your current needs and situation.

Ultimately, this decision is about reduced energy costs and improved environmental results. As surveys are showing, there is an increased interest in making sure new construction and remodeling projects include energy efficiency and environmental safety.

The LEED is a certification system created by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). The LEED guidelines are excellent for anyone looking to add value to their home, save money on energy costs and be active in protecting the environment.

In our post Considerations When Adding Green Building Requirements to New Construction or Remodeling Projects, we stated

Adding LEED requirements to a new construction or remodeling project can be more than trivial in time and cost. When you decide to add Green Building requirements to your project, be sure to understand the additional up front costs and how they compare to the long term cost savings.

 

Consult a professional construction company to discuss your attic insulation requirements. Home remodeling professionals understand the needs and desires of the home buyer, as well as, how to develop the plans that will result in reduced utility costs.

At Veri Construction, we have our own showroom. We are able to show you customized options specific to your situation. We work with clients and subcontractors, while utilizing state of the art 3-D computer generating drawings along with architectural plans for successful project delivery. We can help you get on your way to a newly renovated home.

Prepare Your Home for Winter

The winter season is gaining full strength. This is the time of the year we are reminded how important it is to protect our home from the effects of extreme weather. If you are planning a home renovation project, consider “old man winter” in your plans.

Water Damage Control

basement-renovationThe winter months can present real challenges when avoiding damage from water. For instance, Your basement is the part of your home that is under ground, the same place that water resides. Protect your home from water damage by addressing the potential harm that can come from the basement. The best basement flood protection begins with repairing cracked basement walls, and installing a sump pump system to prevent water from collecting in the basement. Basement walls can be prepared with sealant to waterproof against seepage.

Winter can also present the possibility of frozen pipes in walls, crawlspaces, basements and attics. Frozen pipes can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to your home’s floors, walls, appliances and furniture.

Take steps to prevent frozen pipes. Homes in northern climates are generally built with the water pipes located on the inside of the building insulation, which protects the pipes from cold temperatures. However, extremely cold weather and cracks that allow a flow of cold air to come into contact with pipes can lead to frozen pipes.  Insulate all pipes and seal all cracks in outside walls to keep the pipes above freezing temperatures.

Control Utility Costs

The solution is to winterize your home. Winterizing your home includes taking a close look at the source of drafts. Cold air coming into or going out of your house, especially through doors and windows.

Any air leaks in your home can allow warm humid air to escape and draw in drier colder air. A problem that exists in one part of the home can significantly affect all parts of the home. The result is colder temperatures and higher utility costs.

Energy Star says about High Energy Bills, “… it is common to trace high energy bills to an in-efficient component (windows, heating and cooling equipment, ducts insulation) of your home or a failure of one of these components to perform as intended. It is not always easy to pin-point the problem, but fixing it can make your home more energy-efficient and comfortable.”

The result is to stop unnecessarily high utility bills. Reducing heating bills can be an issue of air leaks in your home’s structure caused by inefficient or incorrectly installed windows or doors.

Prepare for Power Outages

A winter power outage is always a possibility and presents special challenges, including no heat.  Start preparing now for the next power outage.  Ready.gov provides basic safety tips on what to do before, during and after a power outage.

As we stated in our post Build in Family Safety When Developing Basement Renovation Plans

Remember to consider disaster response and general well-being when developing remodeling plans for the basement. Prepare your for power outages and rising water. If you are prepared for the hazards of winter, you will be more likely to stay safe and healthy when temperatures start to fall.

As Winter hits with its full fury, talk to the residential construction experts at Veri Construction before you complete plans for your next home renovation project,
