You likely already know the importance of sufficient insulation in the main areas of your home, but have you thought much about whether your garage insulation is doing your utility bills much justice? Depending on the layout of your home, the main areas can share one or more walls and perhaps a floor with the garage. If this is the case with your home, you could be experiencing significant heat transfer through those connections.
Another reason why you should consider an update to garage insulation is if you spend much time in the garage. If your laundry facilities are in the garage, for example, anything you can do to make your garage more comfortable is a great idea. If you keep a spare freezer or refrigerator in your garage, extreme temperatures can make it work harder, not only costing you more in electricity but shortening the life of the appliance. Garage insulation can help keep the temperature cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
An ideal garage insulation product is spray foam insulation. You might be surprised just how much more energy efficient and comfortable your home can be by raising the R-value with such a state-of-the-art insulation product. There are other types of insulation that can also be used.
