October is here and so are the brisk winds and dropping temperatures that signal winter is right around the corner. For any home with attic insulation, Minneapolis MN residents know that October also means the month for getting their attic inspected.
Beat the Cold at Its Own Game
If you’ve lived in the Minneapolis area for any length of time, you know how brutal the winters can be. And those cold temps combined with the several feet of snow sure to fly mean that you’ll be running your heater nearly nonstop. Of course, that equals higher energy bills, particularly if you have a large space to heat – and kids who can’t seem to keep running in and out, letting the cold air in!
In addition to adding thermal drapes to your windows, draft stoppers to the doors and closing off unused rooms, it’s a good idea to check your attic insulation in Minneapolis MN homeowners. In fact, one of the most effective ways to retain heat and pay lower energy bills is by supplementing the insulation material in your attic to meet the Department of Energy recommendation of 15 inches of R44 material. This one action alone can shave up to 32 percent off your heating bill this winter!
Call Now for Our October Attic Insulation Inspection Special
During the month of October, New Windows for America is offering a special on our comprehensive, five-point attic inspection service – we’re giving it away for free! That’s right – there is no charge to you to schedule our technicians for an inspection. Usually this service costs $50, but for the month of October, we’re waiving that fee.
Our trained technicians will come to your home. Once they access your attic, they perform an inspection similar to one you might get for your car at the repair shop. We don’t top off any fluids, but we do perform the following:
1. Measure your existing insulation. Although the Department of Energy recommends 15” of R44 insulation, if yours is lacking, we’ll bring it up to a full 17 1/2” and use insulation rated R49.
2. Check for mold and moisture that might indicate a leak.
3. Check the temperature – a big difference between the temperature inside your house and in the attic space could indicate a problem.
4. Examine the existing insulation. In many older homes, the insulation contains carcinogens and presents a fire hazard. It could also become a breeding ground for disease-carrying rodents.
5. Check that your attic is properly ventilated.
Please note that you must schedule an appointment for your free attic inspection service by October 31, 2013. This offer applies to attic insulation for Minneapolis MN area homes only.
You can’t beat this deal and with winter right around the corner, now is the perfect time to ensure your money for energy bills doesn’t fly away along with the heat escaping from your attic!
