INSULATION & AIR SEALING UPGRADES
Adding new insulation and air sealing in your home is one of the best ways to save money on utility bills. It also makes your home more healthy and comfortable.
Insulation and air sealing upgrades are part of the no-cost weatherization services provided by CAC-HC to homeowners and renters in Maryland. If you meet the program’s income criteria, we can help improve your home and lower energy costs.
Insulation and air sealing help prevent heat and air from traveling in and out of your home. In the winter, they act like a thick winter coat, keeping heat indoors. In the summer, they’re more like the walls of an ice chest cooler, blocking heat from getting in.
Many Maryland homes have some insulation, but not enough, and many also have holes and gaps that let air in and out of your home. Even small air leaks can result in lots of energy waste. This means that your heating and cooling systems have to work overtime, wasting your money.
If you experience any of the above issues in your home, adding more insulation and sealing holes and air leaks can make a substantial difference. These home upgrades are long-lasting, yet many Maryland families don’t realize their homes are in poor condition and could benefit!
Weatherization assistance helps families make much-needed home improvement work, including heating and cooling system repair as well as insulation and air sealing upgrades. These energy-efficiency services are provided at no cost to income-qualified households everywhere in the state of Maryland through the Community Action Council of Howard County.
