Insulate Your Morrisville Rental Home This Fall

Eco-Friendly Insulation in a Morrisville Rental HomeAs the weather cools and the leaves begin turning, there are specific repairs and maintenance tasks that should be performed on your Morrisville rental properties before winter. Part of preparing for the cold weather to come is making sure that your rental home is well insulated. Insulation and weather stripping add value and efficiency to a rental property, avoiding extreme temperatures and high energy costs. A well-insulated rental home is one that is going to keep residents warm and happy all winter long.

As with other repair and maintenance items related to a rental home’s structure, insulation and weather stripping shouldn’t be things that the residents install, replace, or maintain. There is no assurance that residents are going to do it well. Furthermore, certain insulation types can be hazardous if not handled correctly.

As the owner, you could attempt to insulate your rental home yourself. There are several different options, all of which offer good results. Fiberglass insulation is offered in rolls and batts, ready to be installed in walls and in the attic. Other kinds of insulation include blown-in insulation, which is a loose fill that is blown into attics or walls. And expanding foam insulation, which sprays on something resembling a thin foam but then expands to seal a gap or space around pipes, windows and doors, and other areas. And of course, weather stripping is applied around doors and windows to stop drafts. Each kind is designed for use in distinct spots of the home and necessitates safety gear and specialized equipment designed specifically for this job.

Whether it’s your first time insulating your rental properties or replacing old or worn insulation, insulation should be a component of your property management plan. Installed insulation and weather stripping should be examined each year for signs of wear. Gaps or holes should be filled before the cold weather starts. Waiting until your Morrisville residents complain or until the problem has gotten too big to ignore is not a good idea.
