Upgrade Your Insulation

If your insulation is the typical fiberglass batt, or you haven’t thought about your insulation since you moved in, it may be time for an upgrade. Blown-in insulation such as AttiCat Blown-In insulation from Owens Corning better insulates around structures in your roof. New insulation regulates the temperature fluctuations you may feel in your home, and decreases your energy bills.

Have Your Ventilation Inspected  

An estimated 90% of homes in Minnesota are improperly or under ventilated. This causes a host of issues, such as temperature fluctuations and high energy consumption. With an inspection, which most roofers offer for free, a professional will be able to cut in a few more vents, or provide you better soffits which can improve your system.

Purchase New Windows

Buying new windows is a large purchase, there’s no doubt about that. However, looking at the cost of your energy bills over the years, windows may be able to save you tens to hundreds of dollars each month. Homeowners can also take advantage of rebates and tax credits for new  windows.

Get your HVAC Equipment Tested

Do this sooner rather than later. The worst time for a technician to come out is when a heat wave is in full swing; your request may be backlogged for weeks. A quick inspection during the spring and fall can tune up your equipment so it’s running at peak performance when you need it most.
