80-20 Energy Solutions…80% impact with only 20% investment
5 Ways Lo/Mit Can Save You Money Right Now!
1. Compared to other energy saving products, Lo/Mit requires a small, one-time initial investment. You’ll quickly recoup your initial outlay, but more importantly, you’ll reap the rewards of your investment immediately and enjoy a more comfortable home.
2. Heating and cooling your home eats up most of your energy dollars. In the heat of summer, your a/c unit won’t have to work as hard…and in spring and fall you may not have to use it at all. Based on the conditions at your home, you stand to save 8-20% on your utility bills! Of course, if all you wanted to do was save money, you could turn off your air conditioning and just tough it out all summer long. Lo/Mit allows you to enjoy the modern convenience of an air conditioned home, but at less cost to you.
3. In two-story homes with dual-zone heating, the second climate control unit is often located in the attic. Even when this isn’t the case, metal ducts are usually located there. These metal HVAC components can’t help but absorb the intense heat that radiates through the roof into your attic space. Reducing the heat load on your HVAC unit by reducing the attic temperature will help it work more efficiently and may, in turn, extend the unit’s life.
4. During the winter months, Lo/Mit can help keep the heat you’ve already paid for from escaping through the roof.
5. Lo/Mit is a “once-and-done” product. Once it’s applied, it maintains its original effectiveness and requires absolutely no maintenance.
4 Things You Need to Know About Insulation
1. R-value means resistance value. The insulation in your attic should have an R-value of 38 for optimum performance. Does yours?
2. Blown-in insulation can shift or compact over time and, even if it was adequate when it was originally installed, yours may require a supplemental application to boost its effectiveness.
3. If you add insulation, it must be the same type of insulation that’s already in place.
4. Insulation works by slowing down conductive and convective heat transfer, helping to keep the heat in your living spaces in the winter, and out of them in the summer. But it offers less protection against radiant heat, and so ideally should be used in conjunction with a radiant barrier, such as Lo/Mit.
