When to Review Your Insulation | Comfort Zone HVAC
August 17, 2015

When people think about insulation, it’s usually in relation to the winter months. However, this underscores what insulation really does. The job of insulation isn’t to keep you warm; it is to slow the transfer of heat. This is why having good insulation is so important to both your heating and cooling in Canton, GA. As such, if you are feeling the heat in your home, and your air conditioner is in good shape, it may be time to call the insulation experts at Comfort Zone HVAC and let us check your home’s insulation.

How Does Good Insulation Help?

Heat moves in three ways: conduction, convection and radiation. Additionally, heat will always seek out cool air in order to level the temperature. This means you have quite the challenge on your hands keeping your home cool – but this is also where good insulation comes in.

When your home is adequately insulated from top to bottom, the ability for heat to transfer into your home becomes very difficult. Good insulation forms a barrier that prevents heat from transferring into your cool living spaces while also creating a barrier to keep the cool air inside where it belongs.

What Happens If I Don’t Have Good Insulation?

One of the biggest effects of having inadequate insulation in your home discomfort because your home will have a hard time staying cool. A second issue is the potential for very high energy bills. This is because your air conditioner has to compensate for the loss of cool air, and will do so by operating more as the system tries to reach your set temperature. This can lead to the third problem, which is excessive wear and tear. Any air conditioner with excessive wear and tear will be more prone to malfunction and breakdown.
