The answer is 'right now!'

When it comes to home upgrades, timing can make all the difference. One improvement that’s often overlooked until the colder months arrive is insulation. While many homeowners think of insulation as a winter-focused upgrade, late summer is actually the perfect time to get it done. Whether you’re aiming to save on energy costs, improve comfort, or prepare for seasonal changes, upgrading your insulation before fall brings significant benefits.


1.  Perfect weather conditions


Late summer offers warm, dry days that make home improvement projects progress faster and more efficiently. Contractors like us can work without delays caused by rain, snow, or freezing temperatures, ensuring your project stays on schedule. Additionally, materials like the closed-cell spray foam insulation we use perform best when installed in moderate humidity, which late summer often provides.


2.  GET AHEAD OF THE SEASONAL RUSH


Come fall, demand for insulation skyrockets as homeowners rush to prepare for winter. By acting in late summer, you can avoid long wait times, and limited availability,. This means your home will be ready to handle the first chill without any of the last-minute stress.


3.  Immediate energy savings


Many people associate the benefits of insulation with the winter months, but missing the bigger picture. Proper insulation is just as important in the summer when it keeps your home cooler by preventing hot air from penetrating your living spaces. This means you’ll start saving on air conditioning costs right away—and then enjoy the same savings on heating in the colder months.


4.  increased comfort year-round

Insulation upgrades in late summer ensure your home stays at a comfortable, consistent temperature no matter the season. You’ll reduce drafts, eliminate hot and cold spots, and improve indoor air quality. By completing the work now, you’ll enjoy a cozy fall and winter without sudden spikes in energy bills.


5.  better for your budget

Don't forget about the rebates and interest free loans available to you right now. You can check out our post about them here.


Upgrading your home insulation is a good idea anytime of year but doing it in late summer is a strategic move that saves money, improves comfort, and ensures your home is ready for whatever the seasons bring. By acting now, you can beat the rush, and enjoy the benefits of an energy-efficient home right away.
