Want to add real, tangible value to your home? Consider something that works tirelessly behind the scenes for your comfort and efficiency—upgraded insulation. 

We get it. It’s not as exciting as a new,  trendy kitchen backsplash or the (temporary) impact of fresh paint. However, upgrading your insulation is a smart, strategic investment that can significantly increase your home’s market appeal and long-term value.

Read on to find out why we believe upgrading your insulation can pay off. 

Nextgen knows homes inside and out, and we think insulation is a really good investment.

A well-insulated home means far more than just cozy winters and cool summers. It lowers energy bills, provides you with a quieter living space, and reduces your carbon footprint. These benefits have become powerful selling points in today’s market, where energy efficiency and sustainability are increasingly valued.

Here are five reasons upgrading your insulation adds considerable value to your home:

1. Dramatically Slashes Energy Costs: From a buyer’s perspective: lower monthly bills are a beautiful thing. When you upgrade your insulation, you measurably impact your home’s energy efficiency. 

According to Energy Star, “EPA estimates that homeowners can save an average of 15% on heating and cooling costs (or an average of 11% on total energy costs) by air sealing their homes and adding insulation in attics, floors over crawl spaces and basements.”While that might not sound like much, consider how much an average home spends on energy bills a year. In Massachusetts, Energy Sage estimates the average household spends around $174.52 per month or $2,094.24 per year on electricity. The average household will save around $300 a year with new insulation. 

Over time, these savings add up. At Nextgen, we use top-grade insulation materials that create a robust thermal barrier, effectively keeping heat in during the frigid winters and keeping it out during the sweltering summers. 

2. Significantly Boosts Comfort and Quiet: No one wants to live in a drafty house or put up with the constant intrusion of external noises, also known as “noise pollution.”

Upgrading your insulation effectively eliminates these issues, meaning you can say goodbye to the constant sound of the neighbor’s lawn mower or construction projects.

 Nextgen’s installation also means a consistently comfortable temperature, stopping cold spots and hot zones.

3. Elevates Home’s Energy Efficiency Rating: Energy efficiency ratings are becoming increasingly important in the modern real estate world. An upgraded insulation system equals a higher rating, making your home more appealing to eco-conscious buyers who prioritize sustainability and reduced energy consumption. Nextgen can provide expert advice on the best insulation solutions to maximize your home’s efficiency and achieve a top-tier energy rating.

4. Provides Robust Protection Against Moisture and Mold: Mold. It’s a buzzword, scaring potential homebuyers. However, proper insulation can actually prevent condensation and moisture buildup, which can lead to the insidious growth of mold and potentially severe structural damage. Nextgen’s installation techniques create a protective barrier that safeguards your home’s integrity, a significant advantage that any discerning buyer will recognize and value.

5. Extends the Lifespan of Your HVAC System: When your home is effectively insulated, your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature. This reduces wear and tear, prolonging the lifespan of your system and minimizing the need for costly repairs or replacements. Buyers appreciate knowing they won’t face immediate and potentially expensive HVAC issues.
