5 Signs Your Insulation Is Costing You Money
Most homeowners don't think about insulation until their energy bill hits different. Here's what to look for:
Rooms that won't stay warm (or cool) ā If your thermostat says 72 but your bedroom feels like 60, your insulation is failing.
Ice dams on the roof in winter ā Heat escaping through poor attic insulation melts snow unevenly. That refreezing causes ice dams and water damage.
Energy bills climbing year over year ā If your usage habits haven't changed but costs keep rising, insulation degradation is likely the culprit.
Drafts near outlets and windows ā Electrical outlets on exterior walls are a dead giveaway. Cold air shouldn't be coming through your light switches.
Your home is over 15 years old and never been re-insulated ā Insulation settles, compresses, and loses R-value over time. What was code-compliant in 2010 might not cut it anymore.
We see this stuff every day. If any of these sound familiar, it's worth getting a professional assessment before you waste another season overpaying your utility company.
