Why Insulate?

Insulation is one of the smartest investments you can make in your home because it provides year-round comfort and savings in three important ways:

Lower energy bills

Insulation keeps your home warmer in the winter, which lowers your heating costs. In the summer, insulation keeps your home cooler, which eases the load on your air conditioner.

Quieter, more comfortable living

Insulation can actually absorb sound, reducing the unwanted noise from appliances, audio equipment, conversation and other sources of sound that are transmitted through your walls and floors. Insulation also keeps your family more comfortable by making it easier for your furnace or air conditioner to maintain a constant temperature.

Healthy home, healthy environment

Reducing your family's overall formaldehyde exposure can make your home healthier and safer. And using Johns Manville Formaldehyde-free™ fiber glass insulation can help you achieve that reduction and follow the California Air Resources Board's recommendations to use formaldehyde-free building materials, including insulation, so that it emits little or no formaldehyde. Fiber glass insulation helps prevent the growth of potentially hazardous mold and mildew in your walls, air ducts and ceilings that can result from trapped moisture.
