LULA, Ga. — In houses across America, poorly sealed and under-insulated attics are taking money out of homeowners’ pockets through high utility bills. To help homeowners take control over high utility bills this heating season by properly sealing and insulating their attics, Pest Control Insulation teamed up with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR program to launch its Rule Your Attic! campaign.
Now in its second year, Rule Your Attic! is a fun, multi-media, consumer-focused outreach campaign that utilizes the reach of social media to help homeowners understand the benefits of properly sealing and insulating their attics and encourage action, either through DIY projects or by working with a contractor. ENERGY STAR and Pest Control Insulation have come together to provide homeowners with the tools and resources they need to properly seal and insulate their homes.
“Most homeowners don’t realize how much money they are throwing away over something that has such a simple solution,” said Doug Anderson, Project Manager of the ENERGY STAR Seal and Insulate team. “Sealing up air leaks and adding insulation to recommended levels in the attic or basement (or crawlspace) can save homeowners up to 10 percent on their annual utility bills…even more than 10% if you live in a Northern climate.”
Pest Control Insulation provides an innovative opportunity to couple permanent pest protection and energy savings via a home’s thermal envelope. “The awareness brought to protecting a homeowner’s most treasured investment during last year’s campaign excited us about participating once again,” shares Matt Paul, Marketing Manager for Pest Control Insulation. “The right knowledge is powerful to consumers and empowers them to make decisions which affect their health, comfort, and wallet.”
The campaign is the perfect catalyst for demonstrating how one small trip to your attic could lead to big energy savings.
