Gilbert, AZ -- (SBWire) -- 09/21/2010 -- Are you tired of paying huge electricity bills for keeping your home or office warmer during winters and cool during summers? If you cannot maintain the temperature inside your home, and fear switching off the heaters and air conditioners, then certainly you need to opt for home insulation. Home insulation is a way of creating a thermal protective covering around your place to restrict the flow of heat from walls, attic, surface or windows.

When opting for home insulation, other than ceilings, exterior, basement walls, floors and crawl spaces, attic is an area that needs special mention, as it significantly enhances the energy efficiency of a building. Therefore, attic insulation is required to restrict the heat flow in necessary places and helps enormously in minimizing the utility bills. Attic insulation can be provided by using various types of insulation material like batts, cellulose, fiberglass or foam to name a few. Depending upon the factors like budget, time, type of structure or personal preferences, one may choose the type of insulation.

When opting for home insulation, we usually consider our savings, like reduced electricity bills and extra comfort. But, why not use such insulating material that is eco-friendly and helps in reducing the emission of carbon dioxide in the air, and in turn reduces carbon foot prints? Green insulation is an emerging trend where environment friendly materials like cellulose, foam and recycled paper are used to make your abode thermally compatible. What more, opting for green insulation has profound health benefits as well.

For a person suffering from chronic diseases like asthma, breathing tiny fiberglass particles can be potentially dangerous. Foam polyurethane when sprayed does not leave any space for dust or mold as it sticks to a place and cause no harm to the person suffering from allergies. Apart from the health benefits, green insulation also helps in conserving the energy and lowering the utility bills.

As use of air-conditioners and heaters is minimized, there is less emission of CO2, which in turn helps in conserving natural resources. Opting for green insulation is a personal choice, but considering its advantages and the tax rebates provided by the government, it is a win – win situation for the user in any case.
