Is Your Home Under-Insulated?
Signs that your home does not have enough insulation:
- Difficulty keeping home comfortable. Insulation helps to regulate the temperature in your home, keeping the heated or cooled air inside where it’s needed to keep the occupants comfortable. If you and your family find it difficult keeping your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter, your home is insufficiently insulated.
- High energy bills. Are you paying a fortune each month to heat and cool your home? When heated and cooled air leaks out of your home through floors, walls, attics, and windows, you may be running furnaces and air-conditioning systems constantly, which tdrives up the energy bill.
- The presence of rodents and pests. Insulation fills in cracks, crevices and holes in attics, basements and walls, preventing unwanted critters and insects from entering the home.
- Frozen pipes. If your pipes freeze every time the temperature drops significantly, you need insulation. Frozen pipes not only stops the flow of water, they may burst and lead to flooding.
- Ice dams. Ice dams are a common sight all over New England. These humps of ice form on the edge of roofs and cause damage not only to the roof, but inside the home as well. One sure way to fix the underlying problem that causes ice dams– properly insulation that prevents the roof from getting warm and snow from melting.
