When it comes to keeping your home comfortable, you can’t settle for less than the best. However, your HVAC system is only as effective as your home insulation allows. For homeowners of Cape Cod-style homes, the insulation you use matters even more, particularly if you purchased an older home.

If you can relate, the team at All Season Insulation LLC in Cincinnati, OH, wants to help. Below, they explain how you can safeguard your home from the challenges of the changing seasons in the Greater Cincinnati area.

Focus on the Attic

Home InsulationCape Cod homes are famed for their steep pitched roofs. However, these areas are often under-insulated. In fact, most older Cape Cod-style homes have minimal insulation along their roofs and top attic, and in many instance little to none along the vertical knee walls that separate the conditioned air from the cold attic air in the winter and warm attic air in the summer. Instead of cranking up the thermostat, you can optimize your indoor air temperature with the proper home insulation.

We prefer to use a radiant barrier on the vertical walls and blown in fiberglass on the attic floor, depending on the layout of your home. Having the right type of insulation can boost your heating and cooling system’s efficiency and keep the upper level of your house more comfortable.

Insulate the Crawl Spaces

The extreme slope of Cape Cod-style roofs often creates crawl space between the pitch and upper-level rooms. This means most of your second-floor interior walls are lined by outside air trapped between the roof and the interior. Adding wall insulation in the open space and then a radiant barrier is the most effective way to improve the comfort of your home. If access is limited, our team can cut holes in walls to enable access and the installation of the proper insulation.

When it comes to improving the comfort and energy efficiency of your home, nothing helps more than high-quality insulation.
