Insulation

Kansas City needs Insulation!

Insulation is an important component of your house. It keeps you warmer in the cold Kansas City winters and cooler in the summers. It’s is found in your attic, the walls of your home and your basement. Insulation is a good economic investment and is not very expensive considering the money you save every month in your heating and cooling bills. Homes in Kansas City should have at least 15″ of attic insulation and a good ventilation system to encourage air flow and avoid moisture which can lead to mold.

How does insulation work?

Home insulation explained  by Kansas City Insulation Murray Insulation, 7603 Northwest River Park Drive, Kansas City, MO  64151If you live in Kansas City, chances are you live in one of the 85% of homes in the U.S. that have standard fiberglass insulation installed in your walls, attic or basement.

When assessing your insulation choices or if you are looking to replace your insulation  due to changing energy codes or mold, know that insulation is used for the following: conduction, radiation and convection.

Convection: Is the transfer of heat by air currents. An example of this is movement of air from an unconditioned area to a conditioned area or from a warmer area to a cooler area.

Radiation: In the summertime the sun heats your home. The heat then transfers to the living areas of the home.

Conduction: The levels (i.e. attic, basement, main floor) of your home have unique conduction properties. The basement and its concrete foundation walls are excellent conductors for cold weather. New homes are insulating the basement walls and local agencies have addressed this by updating the codes for new home building and insulation. Conduction is energy transferred through a solid material.
