When summer approaches, the mercury is bound to rise. For many people, this means turning on the air conditioning full blast to cool down the house, or buying an over sized unit to get the job done. However, there is one solution that will keep the energy you've already used inside your home. You'll save on bills, repair costs, and help the environment. The key is better insulation.

Good insulation will keep the cool air inside your home and keep your appliances running smoothly, while poor insulation will waste energy and force undo wear and tear on your cooling system. There is a good reason that the government has an entire program designed to weatherize homes. Did you know that up to 45% of a home's heating and cooling energy can be lost through its attic? This problem is remedied easily and cost effectively by adding quality insulation to your home. When it comes to insulation, one product stands ahead of the rest: dense pack cellulose.

Dense pack cellulose is easy to install and has the following advantages over traditional fiberglass insulation:

• Made from 82% recycled materials
• 40% more efficient than fiberglass insulation
• Fire retardant
• Insect resistant
• No dangerous chemicals
• Easy to retrofit existing attics and walls
• Better sound barrier to protect from street noise
