Spring is finally here! Are you ready for warmer weather? It’s time to start planning and new projects to improve your home’s insulation and comfort. You already know that insulation is beneficial… Here are four reasons why it’s best to insulate your home in the spring: 1. Easier planning Most people don’t even think about putting in insulation until it gets really cold or really hot. Usually, it’s only when the electric bills from air conditioners rise that the insulation problem comes up. For this reason, summer is the busiest time for insulation contractors. If you plan for this in the spring, you’ll get ahead of the busiest season and insulate your home on time. This will ensure better comfort and more savings. 2. Comfort The whole point of insulating your home is to prevent heat buildup in the summer (and heat loss in the winter), which would be counterproductive if you wait until summer, and then start planning to put in or upgrade insulation. Spring is the right time for this activity because the weather is warm and pleasant, with no temperatures too low or high. Insulating your home in the spring ensures that your home will not be hot when summer arrives. 3. Summer Savings Insulating your home in the spring, before the summer heat, allows you to reap the benefits of this investment all summer long. Typically, electric bills are high in the summer because of the need to cool the home. Homeowners who plan ahead and insulate their homes in the spring will find that their energy bills are significantly lower. Better insulation means less energy consumption – air conditioners set at their usual temperature will run much less often. You’ll be able to enjoy a pleasant climate in your home. 4. Easier installation When installing facade insulation in the winter, work can be interrupted by rain, snow and excessively cold temperatures. In high summer, when temperatures are too high, work may also need to be stopped. If the walls are too hot, plaster and render will dry too quickly and this can cause them to crack. If this work is carried out in the spring, the weather is pleasant and there are no extreme temperatures to prevent installation.
