“Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
—Melody Beattie

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
and your pies take the prize,
and may your Thanksgiving dinner
stay off your thighs!

Wishing you many Turkey Day Blessings,

The Team of Gulf Coast Insulation

5 Small Ways To Make a Big Difference in Your Energy Savings

1. Replace your air filter or clean your filter area depending on your system. This not only helps save energy, but also prolongs the life of your system and provides a healthier indoor environment.

2. Replace old light bulbs throughout your home with CFLs.  If every American home replaced just one light with a light that's earned the ENERGY STAR, we would save enough energy to light 3 million homes for a year, save about $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent 9 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions per year, equivalent to those from about 800,000 cars.

3. Turn off & unplug all appliances & electronics when not in use.

4. Get a yearly checkup for your home air system/ HVAC. Duct leaks, incorrect settings, and inefficient systems can easily increase your bill by 15%.

5. Fix your insulation situation! Upgrade your insulation and seal around windows, doors, and other outside air leaks.  Click or call today for a free estimate & consultation for insulation upgrade & home seal from Gulf Coast Insulation http://www.gulfcoastinsulation.com or (850) 685-9709.

Top Five Reasons Why Upgrading Your Insulation Helps Save You Energy and Money

Top Five Reason Insulation Helps Save Energy and Saves You Money!

1. How can I save Energy?
Homes and buildings that are properly insulated are considered energy efficient because less energy is required in order to keep the building at a comfortable temperature. A reduction in energy consumption results in less greenhouse gases being released into the environment. Gases such as CO2 and NOx are linked to global warming and pollution. Properly insulating a building helps to reduce these emissions.

2. How can I REDUCE My UTILITY BILLS BY 20-50%!                                                 
Spray Foam can save you up to 50% on your monthly utility bills, depending on your current installation. Traditional environment friendly products such as cellulose can save you up to 20% on your monthly utility bills. Upgrading your insulation pays for itself and then continues to provide you with energy savings.

3. Do I have ENOUGH Insulation?
According to Harvard School of Public Health, if you have a home built in the last five to ten years, it is most likely one of 46 million homes that are under-insulated in the U.S. One quick way to determine if you need more is to look across the span of your attic. If your insulation is just level with or below your floor joists (i.e., you can easily see your joists), you should add more. But even if you can’t see your beams or studs, that’s still no guarantee that you have enough insulation. The best thing to do is have a qualified contractor evaluate your insulation. Also if you have a crawl space under your ground floor and your insulation is loose, falling out or on the ground, it’s not providing any energy savings. 

4. How can I REDUCE MY CARBON FOOTPRINT?
As you lower your utility bills by adding insulation, you reduce your emissions of CO2 and other pollutants from fossil fuels. If you also choose insulation made from recycled materials, you'll make an even bigger contribution because recycled products require less energy to manufactureand they keep reusable resources out of landfills and incinerators. We carry several products that are made from both recycled and renewable content.

5. How do I MAKE MY INSULATION COUNT?                                                                 
Too often, insulation isn’t properly installed. Fiberglass batt insulation that is compressed, or miss-shaped will not provide energy saving. Sometimes loose-fill insulation doesn’t reach all the corners, and gaps are left around pipes and other obstacles. Poor-quality installation can lower the material’s effectiveness by as much as 30%–and that means money and energy down the drain, not to mention uncomfortable spots in your home.
