Attic Insulation and Home Ventilation
Abacus offers 3 ways to make your attic more energy efficient in summer & winter. Save money and keep your home more comfortable year-round with:
ABACUS Blown-In Attic Insulation
Attic insulation reduces the amount of heat that travels between your attic space and the living environment of your Austin area home.
Heat naturally travels from warmer to cooler environments, so during the summer the heat from your attic filters into your home, causing your air conditioner to run longer. In the winter, the heat from your nice, warm Austin area home is escaping into your attic, causing your heating system to run longer. A properly insulated attic space can save you 15% to 30% on your heating and cooling bill.
Abacus recommends blown-in insulation, which fluffs the material with the hose, adding millions of tiny air pockets that give the material its insulating power. Because fiberglass insulation will not settle, it will maintain the same energy-saving level over time, keeping your home comfortable for years to come. This is better than laying batts or rolls which must be cut and laid in by hand, leaving lots of gaps where heat exchange will occur.
