Does your house feel abnormally warm during the summers or freezing during the winters despite all your systems running well? It may be time to take a look at your attic insulation and examine if you need a replacement.
Attic insulation helps regulate your home's temperature, improves energy efficiency, prevents moisture buildup, minimizes pollutants in your home, and can improve indoor air quality. While attic insulation should be inspected every 10-15 years, early warning signs may include inconsistent temperatures in your home, drafts, or visible damage that would be worth evaluating.
Here's why right now may be the best time for you to replace your attic insulation.
Save Money on Heating & Cooling Costs
Many issues may arise when your home has poor attic insulation:
- Heat or cold air escaping easier
- Heat or cold air getting let in easier
- Inconsistencies in the indoor temperature
- Decreased energy efficiency and increased energy bills
- Moisture and mold growth
- Poor air quality
Poor attic insulation can largely lead to issues with maintaining the temperature in your home, which can come from heat getting let in and cool air escaping. These inconsistencies in the indoor temperature will cause your energy bills to increase due to energy systems in your house working harder to combat the outside air temperature blending with the indoor temperature.
Figuring out what the issue is early on can help you maintain your desired temperature and significantly save you money to heat or cool your house. Additionally, combining insulation with attic air sealing can drastically improve the airtight environment in your attic and further reduce hot or cold air from entering or leaving the building.
Reduce Wear & Tear on HVAC System
Your HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system works to regulate the temperature and air quality for your indoor home environment by circulating air and using heating, cooling, and ventilation components.
However, energy systems will have to work harder if heat is escaping during colder seasons and cold air is entering into your house, for example. Inconsistent temperature forces the HVAC system to produce more energy than it should be, thus, increasing the rate at which it deteriorates and probability of being damaged.
Improving your attic insulation system will reduce the time and power at which your HVAC system will have to run, prolongs the lifespan of the system and equipment, prevents freezing or overheating the system, and other improvements that benefit the overall energy efficiency.
Make Home More Comfortable
In addition to regulating the temperature inside your house, replacing your attic insulation as soon as possible can lead to more benefits for your home and improve its comfortability.
- Reduces air pollutants, dust, allergens, or irritants entering your home
- Reduces moisture and mold buildup, preventing possible structural damages
- Decreases risk of pest infestations
- Regulates humidity levels
- Higher energy efficiency
- More stable temperatures
- Reduces strain on HVAC system
In terms of cost, John Stanford, our certified energy consultant, notes that the energy savings will pay for itself and that the cost of an attic insulation job will be offset over time. As he tells customers, it will never be less expensive than it is today.
