New vinyl siding, especially insulated products, can meaningfully improve a home’s energy performance.
The biggest gains come from combining quality housewrap with insulated vinyl panels. Together they reduce air infiltration and thermal bridging, two of the leading causes of high energy bills in older Attleboro homes.
What Attleboro Homeowners Need to Know:
- Air tightness improvements: Installing insulated siding can improve a home’s air tightness by an average of 25%, cutting drafts and lowering heating loads.
- Energy bills are significant: Massachusetts households spend roughly $600 per month on energy bills, so reducing waste pays back quickly.
- Under-insulated homes are common: 89% of homes in the U.S. are under-insulated, and re-siding is an ideal time to address it.
- Noise reduction: Insulated vinyl dampens outside noise, a nice bonus for homes on busy Attleboro streets.
- Resale value: Energy-efficient upgrades show up in appraisals and on listing pages, helping homes sell faster.
