THINK PINK THIS SUMMER TO KEEP YOUR HOME COOL! Summer is here and all of a sudden air conditioners are starting to drip outside and the sound of electric fans cloud our thinking. It helps, but the level of comfort is still not ideal, not to mention the shocker of an electricity bill that you expect to see at the end of the month. With the growing energy crisis, it is important for us to be mindful of how we manage indoor temperatures, and the impact that mechanical cooling has on our health. Air conditioners are some of the number one culprits when it comes to the spread of airborne illnesses. A typical un-insulated home gains or loses up to 35% of its energy through the ceiling which results in a home that is uncomfortably hot in summer, and frosty in winter. If you are using mechanical intervention to cool and warm your home, you could be looking at saving up to 35% of your electricity bill if you keep the heat, or the cold, inside! ISOVER’s Aerolite insulates your ceiling and dramatically slows down heat loss and gain, resulting in a comfortable home. Aerolite offers a payback in less than 2 years thanks to the home’s reduced energy requirements with continued savings thereafter.
