Reduce Home Heat Loss

Joseph Coupal - Tuesday, January 31, 2012

This winter may not have had a lot of snow so far, but the house still gets cold. A great way to increase your homes heating (can cooling) efficiency is to increase your home’s insulation. Adding additional insulation, especially in the attic, can make a huge difference in the temperature of your home all year round.

At the same time that you are checking your attic insulation, you should be sure that there is proper insulation around your pipes as well.

Typically, a home loses heat in the following areas: ceilings, walls, floors, windows and doors, and “infiltration (air loss).” Even though your home loses heat from all these areas, they don’t all lose the same amount of heat.

Here is how each area stacks up in terms of percent heat loss in a home:

Infiltration / Air Leakage: 35%
Windows and Doors: 18 – 20%
Floors and Below Grade Space: 15 – 18%
Walls: 12 – 14%
Ceilings: 10%
