More Insulation

September 4, 2013

Today we added 10 more inches of blown-in cellulose insulation in the attic.  This will help keep the house a bit more cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.  It’s been on the warm side lately so this extra insulation will help.  Most houses in Santa Cruz does not have air conditioning because we have such temperate climate here so some homes will get toasty warm when we don’t have the morning coastal fog.  Even on these hot days the thermostat in the hallway never rises above 75F (23.9C), so it’s still comfortable inside the house.
