An uninsulated crawlspace allows freezing air to flow underneath your home, drawing out warmth and putting more pressure on your heating system. Fortunately, fiberglass insulation and vapor barriers can help prevent heat transfer to minimize warmth lost through your floor. Here are just a few benefits of investing in crawlspace insulation.

3 Advantages of Crawlspace Insulation

1. Increase Energy Efficiency

Reducing heat loss through the floor means your furnace won’t have to work as hard to heat the space. Not only does this prevent wear and tear on your heating equipment, but it also makes the entire house more energy-efficient. In addition to lowering your energy bills by hundreds of dollars per year, crawlspace insulation will minimize the environmental impact of heating your home.

2. Block Moisture

In the summer, moist air can get trapped in your crawlspace, promoting mold growth and rotting the floor joists and foundation. Insulation keeps the damp air out, preventing damage that can cost thousands of dollars to repair.

3. Make Living Spaces More Comfortable

Without crawlspace insulation, your floors will likely be cold no matter how hard your heating system work. Heated air can also escape, leaving your home uncomfortably cold throughout the winter. Professionally installed insulation will make your home more comfortable when temperatures outside plummet.
