The crawlspace is a room in your home that is usually out of sight and out of mind. However, it has a big impact on your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. That’s why more and more homeowners in Mount Airy are choosing to renovate their crawlspaces. Here at Jay's Heating, Air & Plumbing, we’ve renovated countless crawlspaces, and we know first-hand how the procedure can transform a home.
What are some of the benefits of crawlspace renovation?
1. Improved air quality
Did you know that up to 40% of the air inside your home comes up from the crawl space? That’s the air you and your family breathe day in and day out, so you want to make sure it’s as clean and healthy as possible. Encapsulating the crawl space lowers the levels of moisture and unhealthy contaminants in the air, which makes it safer to breathe.
2. Greater energy efficiency
Unrenovated crawlspaces are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. When this air inevitably makes its way into your home, your heating and cooling system has to work hard to stabilize the temperature. Not only does this consume more energy, but it also raises your bills and puts stress on the system. Crawlspace renovation includes insulating rim joists and applying closed-cell foam to keep out harsh temperatures. This procedure reduces your energy costs by up to 20%.
3. Better Comfort
Since unrenovated crawlspaces allow air from the outside to seep into your home, you may have trouble feeling comfortable during certain seasons. Winter can be an especially difficult season since cold air from the crawlspace means your floors also feel chilly underfoot. Renovating your crawlspace will stabilize the temperature in your home and keep your floors warm during winter.
