Do You Need More Insulation?
Do You Need More Insulation
Your home’s attic insulation is one of the most important investments you can make. It helps keep your house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, reducing energy costs. In addition, proper insulation reduces noise pollution from neighbors or traffic, creating a quieter space to relax at home.
If your home has traditional fiberglass or cellulose insulation, it’s likely time to replace it. These materials tend to sag and settle over time, reducing their insulating value. Additionally, cellulose requires constant maintenance while fiberglass is prone to moisture damage. Both of these issues can lead to mold and mildew growth, which is a serious health risk and causes further deterioration.
DIY vs. Professional: Fixing Uneven Attic Insulation Coverage
When determining whether you need more insulation, consider the R-Value of your home and the climate where you live. You can find R-Value information online, but it’s also a good idea to consult a professional who can assess your house and recommend an appropriate R-Value for your area.
Higher utility bills during cold weather is a clear sign that your home lacks adequate insulation. A poorly insulated house loses heat through cracks, openings, and gaps, making it expensive to operate year-round. Insulation prevents heat loss, lowers your energy bills and improves comfort. In addition, a well-insulated home can help prevent water pipes from freezing and bursting in the winter, which are common in uninsulated homes.
