Fort Myers, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/23/2010 -- If you are worried about the rising electricity bills and high energy cost of your home, then it’s high time that you switch to insulation for addressing the temperature problem. No matter how much you stress on energy efficient appliances to cut down your utility bills; but the fact remains that heating or cooling equipments basically contribute to the emission of greenhouse gases, and are the main cause of global warming.

Insulation is one of the best methods being adopted by most of the people these days, in order to save energy and reduce the cost of energy bills. Insulating equipments are especially designed to reduce the movement of heat, to control moisture and to ensure proper ventilation. Several homes are incorporating modern insulating techniques to combat this problem. Home insulation is on such method that is being preferred by people to keep the house warm or cold depending upon the temperature of the place.

Attic Insulation is most preferred type of insulation, which is vital for places having warmer climate. This is because attic is that portion of the house which gets maximum heat. Insulation of the attic reduces the convection and radiation effect of the heat, which enters the home through the attic. It not only makes the place comfortable in terms of warmth, but also saves energy, thereby reducing the amount spent on electricity bills. Attic insulation is done using two methods: batts Insulation or blown in insulation.

Blown in insulation is also known as loose-fill insulation, which is an economic and easy to install method. It is done by insulating the already existing cracks, structures or walls, which previously didn’t have any insulation. The advantage of using blown in insulation is that it does not cause any damage to the interior of your home even though it is done over existing structures. In this process, loose particles are inserted into the cavities of the attic or the wall to seal the gaps, so that heat or cool air cannot escape the room.

Batt Insulation is another type of attic insulation, which is done on the area which has a great amount of standing or crawl space. In this, the insulating material on the roll is covered by a reflective material, which helps in turning away the heat; this way, insulation helps in absorbing the left over heat, thus, making the place cooler.

By incorporating either blown in insulation or batt insulation, you can also enhance the aesthetics of your room and make your house more appealing.
