    1. Carpet and padding can act as a minimal form of insulation to keep the floor at a warm temperature.<\/li>\n
    2. Absolutely!! Insufficient insulation is one of the main causes of energy loss at home. Many people might not realize exactly what this means or how it affects their homes. On top of the discomfort you feel because conditioned air is not properly preserved, you will also notice exorbitant energy bills from overworking your HVAC to no avail. Proper insulation can lower these bills by a lot!<\/li>\n
    3. Who wouldn’t want to make their home healthier and more comfortable while also gaining major savings on electricity<\/a>\u00a0and heating fuel? That is exactly what insulating your home offers. You can also improve indoor air quality to make your house healthier. Today, an un-insulated home can lose up to 60% of its energy through walls and the attic.<\/li>\n
    4. Well the first benefit is feeling comfortable in all areas of your home and I don\u2019t know about you but I don\u2019t want to wear a sweater in one room and a t-shirt in another. Some of the other benefits are even temperatures, lower bills, better air quality, and your heating and cooling system not running constantly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Now we don’t know about you, but our home will be much warmer thanks to these tips from Arin.<\/p>\n
