Early summer is peak humidity in Roanoke, VA. You may notice your AC running harder than normal and unfortunately, a higher energy bill.
This might not just be a seasonal issue. A humid crawl space could be the culprit and need encapsulation.
Humid Crawl Spaces are a Thermal Sponge
Crawl spaces full of sticky, hot air pulls cool air down into it, and in return releases the hot air through the floor and into your house.
Crawl spaces act as a thermal sponge causing your house to be harder to cool down. This makes your AC run harder and break down quicker.
Encapsulating your Roanoke crawl space ensures that no humid outside air gets into your crawl space and house. This can also help you save on monthly cooling costs, saving you more money in the long run.
Don’t make the mistake of buying a new AC unit, it would only mask the issue. Seal off your crawl space to fully address the problem.
How Encapsulation Protects Your Home
Encapsulating your crawl space seals the floors and walls, blocking outside air and moisture to protect your home.
Encapsulation helps your AC do its job efficiently without going into overdrive. It keeps your air quality high and energy bill low. Encapsulation benefits:
- Keeps AC from breaking down
- Keeps moisture out
- Seals off home from humid air
- Lowers monthly cooling costs
