When it comes to ways to spend your money, chances are that spending it on home insulation that is going to be put in a place you rarely use probably doesn’t rank on your list of spending choices. After all, what fun is that?! You work hard for your money, and it can be difficult to part with some of it without seeing a lot of major benefits. Thankfully, we have some major benefits for you when it comes to crawlspace insulation.
First, you’ll enjoy more comfortable temperatures all around your home. A crawlspace is nothing more than a shorter basement and should be insulated as such. Because it sits directly on or within the ground, the temperatures can be similar to a root cellar or refrigerator. This cold or warm air (depending on the season) has no problem going up into your home without proper home insulation.
Second, you’ll worry less. Many of your pipes and utilities are located within the crawlspace. Without consistent temperatures, things can heat up or freeze much faster, leaving you with a potential disaster on your hands. Crawlspace insulation makes this environment, along with the environment above ground, much more pleasant.
Finally, it’s a quick process with a quick return. Whether you do blown-in home insulation or batting for your crawlspace insulation, the process doesn’t take more than a day or maybe two, and you’ll be able to see a difference in your utilities within a month or two.
