Crawlspace encapsulation has a variety of benefits which include lower monthly energy bills and healthier air in your home. Properly insulating crawl space locks in hot or chilly air, keeping your home more comfortable in the summer and winter months. Over time, you’ll recoup over and above the costs of insulation by saving money you otherwise would have spent to keep your furnace running. When combined with the rest of your insulation system, effective crawl space insulation keeps outside air infiltration at a minimum, meaning your heating and cooling equipment does not have to operate as hard. Homeowners can expect to see a 15-20% reduction in energy costs in the short term and longer running heating and cooling equipment in the future. Air quality is also vastly improved, which helps to reduce the chances of contracting illnesses, particularly ones that are caused by mold or mildew.
