Save Money With An Insulated Attic Door

One of the most overlooked sources of energy loss in a home lies with the entrance to the attic. An uninsulated or unsealed attic entrance contributes to loss of energy, not only resulting in energy waste, but also higher homeowner utility bills.

Further, according to experts and the U.S. Department of Energy, lack of insulation with the attic entrance thermal barrier can lead to a number of serious problems, such as mold, fire safety, and ice damming. For these reasons, energy loss through the attic is a priority checkpoint of most every home inspector.

Fortunately, there is an innovative and cost effective solution to energy loss through the attic: attic door insulation or attic hatch insulation kits. An attic hatch insulation kit seals and insulates attic entrances from pull down ladders, disappearing stairs ladders, permanent stairways, push up walls, or side wall panels. They are available in standard or oversized models, with high "R' values.

Attic door insulation kits are easy to install and use. They are lightweight, with the heaviest component typically only 10 pounds. Because an attic hatch insulation kit is so efficient, it practically pays for itself within months. Today's attic door insulation kits provide a heavy duty air tight seal.

With the price of gas and electricity continuing to increase, homeowners should take energy conservation and utility bill cost savings into their own hands by installing an attic hatch insulation kit. What's more, installing attic door insulation not only helps you save money on utility bills, but this "going green" initiative helps you to do your part in saving the planet.
