Are there methods to reduce my home insurance premium?

• <div><p>There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-save-money-homeowners-insurance.htm">strategic ways to lower your home insurance premium</a>. The primary one is to shop around and get quotes every few years to make sure you’re getting the best deal. Also, sometimes bundling your auto and homeowner’s insurance will get you a discount on both. Finally, try to keep your credit score up; many homeowner insurance companies use credit scores to generate quotes.</p></div>

Can you over-insulate a home?

• <div><p>Yes, the air in your home needs some release; otherwise, moisture can get trapped inside the layers of insulation and potentially lead to mold and mildew. An <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/insulation-companies/">insulation contractor near you</a> should be able to determine the precise amount of insulation that will seal your home, keep you comfortable, and not lead to any mold.</p></div>

Does basement insulation need a vapor barrier?

• <div><p>Yes, basement insulation needs a vapor barrier due to its susceptibility to moisture seeping in from the outside of the house. You should install a moisture barrier before you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-install-insulation.htm">install insulation</a> or purchase insulation that comes prebuilt with a moisture barrier to avoid water damage in your insulation and costly mold and water remediation expenses. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: Should you insulate behind shower walls?

• <div><p>Yes. You should insulate behind shower walls to help stave off heat loss. In other words, it&rsquo;ll keep the shower or tub from getting too cold. Nothing ruins bath time like stepping into a freezing cold bathroom. Not insulating and air sealing the walls behind the shower allows heat to escape easily, which opens the area up to the elements. </p></div>

Q: What's the difference between a vapor barrier and insulation?

• <div><p>A vapor barrier keeps moisture out of the crawl space, while insulation reduces the amount of unconditioned air&mdash;and sometimes moisture&mdash;that enters the space. Coupling a vapor barrier with insulation can help prevent humidity and related moisture damage in a crawl space while also making your home more energy-efficient. Just be sure to use insulation that won&rsquo;t get damaged from moisture, like rigid foam board or expanding spray foam insulation.</p></div>
