Proper Insulation is Key to an Energy Efficient Washington DC Home

We are used to harsh winters and blistering summers here in "The District". Your home is the one place where you can escape the elements for a consistently comfortable environment. Many homes in the DC area were built before the recent advances in insulation. An upgrade in home insulation is precisely what is on the minds of Washington DC homeowners. Long Insulation is accustomed to working with older homes in the area and offers one of the most environmentally responsible insulating materials in cellulose.

The symptoms of an under-insulated home are drafty rooms, cold spots and rooms that are unbearably hot during the summer. Not only is this uncomfortable for the owner, but it also means that a portion of the money spent on energy is going out the window; not to mention the walls and the attic. For your walls and attic, Cellulose has been shown to be more resistant to heat, moisture and excessive noise than fiber glass insulation.

Losing energy through your attic? A radiant barrier like Attic Mirror can help significantly curb the loss of heat. This product forces heat back to its source so you have a warmer home in the winter and a cooler one in the summer. This makes Attic Mirror a type of insulation perfect for Washington DC, homes.
