Choose Insulation with High R-Value for your Home in Dallas, Fort Worth, or Austin

You’ve probably heard the recent buzz about energy efficient insulation and R-value, but what exactly is R-value and how can you use it to choose home insulation? The energy experts at Statewide Remodeling are here to show you how to get the most from your money with attic insulation, roof insulation, basement insulation, and crawl space insulation that may just pay for itself over time with all the savings you’ll see on your monthly energy bills.

R-value is a measurement of thermal resistance, or how well insulation is able to protect your home against conduction and convection. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation will keep you home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. You should also keep in mind that the R-value of insulation is not contingent on its thickness or weight, which means this measure of thermal resistance should be the primary factor in determining what kind of insulation to buy for your home. You should also make sure you know the E-value of the insulation you’re considering, which is a measurement of how well it protects against radiant heat transfer.

While energy efficient insulation with high R-value and E-value can certainly reduce energy costs, there are still more ways that you can make sure energy isn’t being wasted. Evaluate your windows, exterior doors, and siding – how old are they? What are they made of? Have your energy bills been rising?
