The Top 4 Reasons to Choose Exterior Insulation

Living in an older neighbourhood comes with many advantages. Unfortunately, well insulated walls is not one of them! Read on to learn more about how to stay warmer this winter with a new layer (or two!) of exterior insulation.

1. Make your home more comfortable

Okay, this is the obvious answer… but it’s true! If you have cold bedrooms because your furnace can’t keep up with the temperatures outside, adding R5 to R15 of insulation to the outside of your walls is a great way to warm up your family this winter (and stay cooler next summer!)

2. No messy work inside your home

When most people think about adding insulation to their walls, they imagine ripping out drywall and insulating from the inside. This means drywall work, painting, moving furniture, and a general nuisance. But an exterior insulation project means very little disruption to your day-to-day routine.

3. Reduce your carbon footprint (and reduce your utility bills at the same time)

Improving the energy efficiency of your home is one of the most impactful steps you can take to reduce your daily carbon footprint! Lower run time for your furnace and air conditioner means lower consumption of electricity and natural gas. Good news for the environment, and for your budget!

4. Get a beautiful new look for your home!

A new siding (or stucco) package must be included with any exterior insulation project. So while you are making your home more comfortable and reducing energy consumption, you’ll also be giving your home a massive curb appeal upgrade!
