When it comes to home insulation, garages are often overlooked. Many homeowners don’t realize the impact an uninsulated garage can have, not just on the garage itself, but on the entire house. At Southern Foam Insulation, we believe that every part of your home should be as comfortable and energy efficient as possible.
The Problems with an Uninsulated Garage
An uninsulated garage can create a host of issues that extend beyond just temperature discomfort. Understanding these problems can underscore the importance of investing in proper garage insulation.
Temperature Fluctuations
An uninsulated garage can experience extreme temperature fluctuations throughout the year. In summer, it can turn into a sweltering oven, while in winter, it can become an icebox. These temperature extremes can affect the comfort of your garage and the rest of your home, especially if the garage is attached.
Increased Energy Bills
The excess heat from your garage can penetrate your living spaces during hot months, causing your air conditioning system to work harder and increasing your energy bills. During the colder months, the lack of insulation means more cold air can seep into your home, making your heating system work overtime.
Pest Intrusion
Uninsulated garages are an open invitation for pests. Small cracks and crevices in an uninsulated structure can be entry points for rodents and insects looking for warmth and shelter.
The Benefits of Insulating a Garage
Insulating your garage can offer numerous benefits that enhance both comfort and efficiency in your home.
Improved Temperature Regulation
By insulating your garage, you can maintain the temperature at a much more consistent level. Southern Foam Insulation’s products can help keep your garage 10-18 degrees cooler year-round (source). This stable environment is good for the garage and has positive ripple effects on adjoining rooms and the attic.
Enhanced Storage Conditions
Many people use their garages for storage. Whether you’re keeping seasonal items, tools, or even a refrigerator, a well-insulated garage ensures your stored items are safe from extreme temperatures and moisture.
*A 15-minute Thermal Barrier Intumescent Paint may be required for attic storage
Lower Energy Bills
A well-insulated garage acts as a buffer zone, reducing heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. This means your HVAC systems don’t have to work as hard, leading to significant energy savings.
Water and Pest Protection
Proper insulation can act as an additional barrier against both moisture and pests. Foam insulation, in particular, seals cracks and gaps where water and pests could otherwise enter.
