Are you lowering your thermostat to save on energy costs?

We’re all seeing higher oil, gas and/or electric heat bills rolling in this winter with the frigid temps we’re experiencing. For many of us, they are putting a huge dent in our home budget.

One tactic people employ to offset the higher energy costs is to reduce usage by lowering the thermostat. But by doing that, you are sacrificing your comfort. And on really cold days, you want to be warm and cozy in your home.

Many of us work from home, so we spend most of our time in our homes. This is one reason why home improvements have been on the rise. The more work you do on your home, the more you want to enjoy it. But how can you enjoy it if you’re cold and uncomfortable?

The Way to Greater Comfort….

It is possible to achieve greater comfort in your living environment and reduce energy costs at the same time. By ensuring that key areas of your home, such as your attic and basement, are properly insulated, you can make a MASSIVE difference in retaining the heat in your home and decreasing your energy usage. In fact, you can set your thermostat to 62 degrees and be toasty warm!

…And Tremendous Energy Savings Too!

Installing a Hot Roof, which is insulation of the roofline and walls of your attic, creates a tight thermal barrier in the lid of your home that can reduce your energy usage and costs by as much as 50%!

Using less energy will reduce the work your heating system has to do to keep your home warm, extending its lifespan.


What’s more, as winter continues on and more snowstorms and frigid temps come our way, the formation of ice dams will be prevented by the “Hot Roof.” Your wintertime cost savings from insulation will not only increase and continue year after year but also deliver a 5-6 year return on your insulation investment!

Get Lower-Cost Comfort All Year Round (Also Stay Cooler for Less in Summer!)

Spring is only a month away, and summer isn’t far behind. As New Englanders, we know the summer can be as hot as the winter is cold. But what many don’t know is how proper insulation can also keep your home cooler in the warmer months, reducing AC system usage and costs!
