You want your home to be comfortable, especially in the winter, and energy-efficient year-round. If it’s been a while since you replaced your attic insulation, or you have no idea when it was last replaced, here are some signs it’s time to add new insulation to your home improvement plans:
- Changing temperatures indoors–Is the temperature inside your home different from one room to the next? In many cases, this happens because the attic insulation has shifted and is allowing heat or cold air into the home, which sabotages your HVAC system’s attempts at keeping things at one temperature.
- High utility bills—Higher-than-normal energy bills are a sign something’s gone wrong with your attic insulation. The good news is that once you invest in replacement insulation, you’ll experience significant savings and increased home comfort.
- Animal infestations–If bats, squirrels, mice, or rats have made homes for themselves in your attic insulation, they’ve probably left feces and grime all over the place. Instead of leaving the insulation as-is, it’s best to replace it as soon as possible.
- Indoor drafts–Poor attic insulation can consistently let drafts into your home. If you notice your home is drafty, even after you’ve closed all your doors and windows, new attic insulation can likely take care of the problem.
