Cold Floors in Fayetteville Arkansas

This time of year it is cold in Fayetteville Arkansas. Fayetteville and the Northwest part of the state see some of the coldest temperatures in Arkansas during the winter. Many people have to deal with cold floors in their homes. While trying to keep their floors warm they turn the heat up and they do not look forward to getting their high heating bill. A large number of the homes in the area have crawl spaces that often have open vents. Crawl spaces were designed with vents to allow air to circulate under the home, but as the home gets older and the insulation under the home either gets wet or falls out it is not ideal to have cold air coming in under the home, because it then comes up through the floors causing the interior of the home to be cooler. A lot of the heat, that you are paying for, is escaping from underneath the home through these vents. It is similar to leaving a window cracked open during the winter. The vents of the crawl space allow the frigid outside air in, and the heat out. At Crawl Space Solutions of Arkansas we solve this problem by applying vent covers to the crawl space vents, as seen in the picture. These covers work to seal the crawl space, so your heat is not getting out and the cold air is not coming in. This is part of our encapsulation process that can save you money on your energy bills, not only in the winter months, but also in the summer time as well. Our encapsulation also makes your home healthier, with the outside air coming in the vents, your crawl space can become a place where mold can grow and the inside air becomes polluted, which can cause illnesses. At Crawl Space Solutions of Arkansas we want you to have a healthier home from the ground up.
