Weatherization: The First Line of Defense Against Heat Waves
Proper insulation and air sealing are critical for keeping your home cool during heat waves and reducing the strain on your cooling system. Mass Save’s incentives make it more affordable to the average homeowner:
- Upgrade Attic, Wall, and Basement Insulation: Prevents conditioned air from escaping and keeps hot, humid air out, reducing the risk of mold and roof deterioration.
- Seal Air Leaks: Stops drafts and helps maintain even temperatures, minimizing the risk of foundation cracks from extreme temperature swings.
Ventilation for Healthy, Cool Air
While sealing your home is essential, balanced ventilation is just as important-especially during heat waves when humidity and indoor air quality can become issues. HomeWorks Energy can recommend solutions that provide fresh air without sacrificing efficiency.
