Better Insulation lowers cooling costs

During this heat wave is your air-conditioner working over time? Did you know that one of the most efficient ways of making your home more comfortable year-round is to add insulation to your attic??  If you have an unfinished attic, pop your head up there and take a look around.  You should see about 6 inches of insulation there between the beams.  If you have an inadequate amount of it or if it appears to be damaged you’re going to install new.  Many states offer financial incentives, up to a 75% refund for instance, to encourage homeowners to better insulate their homes.
