When people think of insulation, they usually connect it with the idea of keeping warm. For example, when you go outside in cold weather, you want a coat around you that has enough insulation to keep out the chill—or, technically, keep the heat from leaving your body. However, insulation isn’t only about trapping heat. It’s also about keeping heat out. This makes the insulation in a home important throughout the year, working during both the hottest summers (something we know a lot about in Southern California) and the coolest winters (not as common here, but they can happen).

How Insulation Works in the Heat and the Cold

Insulation is a thermal barrier. What it does is slow down the movement of heat from one place to another. Heat moves in three ways: convection, conduction, and radiation. Insulation slows down both convection (movement of heat through the air) and conduction (movement of heat through contact). The insulation’s R-value determines how effective it is at slowing down the movement of heat.

During a hot summer day, insulation in a home will prevent extra heat from moving into a house through the walls and floors. In the winter, the reverse happens: the insulation traps heat inside the house, preventing drafts from places where heat can easily escape.

The Importance of Proper Duct Insulation

One of the key places in a home for insulation is one that people often don’t think of: around the ductwork. To understand why proper insulation around ducts is important, imagine a hot day when heat is gathering in the attic of a home. Attics are areas where there’s sufficient space for ducts to be routed, but exposing them to extreme heat allows thermal energy to enter through the duct walls. This raises the temperature of the cooled air moving through them. This affects both comfort and the energy efficiency of the air conditioning system. In cooler conditions, heat will escape from the ducts, creating a similar comfort and efficiency problems for the heating system.

Your ducts may have insufficient insulation, and if this is the case, give our team a call. We work with duct insulation to help ensure that a home’s ventilation system works at its best.
