Proper Insulation and Ventilation in Your Michigan Home
Posted on: Aug 25, 2011 Category:Insulation
One of the greatest things about living in Michigan is our experience of the true four seasons. Unfortunately, the climactic extremes can wreak havoc on our homes. In many cases our houses, while built with the best intentions, are lacking in the important areas of insulation and ventilation. Insufficient levels of insulation and poor ventilation cost us money and negatively affect our comfort and health.
According to the Department of Energy, only 20% of homes built before 1980 are insulated properly and a Harvard study found that 65% of homes in the US overall are lacking proper levels of insulation. Industry studies have also found that only 10% of attics are properly ventilated.
