subject: Why Do We Need Insulation In Our Homes? [print this page] According to the laws of physics, heat transfer can occur by means of radiation, convection, or conduction. Insulation works to prevent or slow the transfer of heat in your home. During summer, your home will feel warm, so you must turn on your air conditioning unit to cool your home. If your house is not well insulated, the heat from the radiation of the sun will infiltrate the house will cause your AC unit to work harder than it has to to cool your home. During winter, your heater will provide warmth, but heat will escape quickly if your home is not well insulated, making your heater work overtime. This heat transfer wastes energy and results in increased energy bills.
