Walls and roofs are the primary sources of heat loss in any property, and insulation helps retain them more. When heat and coolness dissipate, your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system needs to work harder, thereby using up more electricity. As a result, you’ll have to likely spend more energy to heat water.
