Signs of Insufficient Insulation

Insulation is a critically important component of your home’s protection. Most homeowners are unaware of the importance of insulation and the cost of tolerating degraded insulation protection. Here are the signs of insufficient insulation that can easily be addressed via spray foam home attic insulation:

1. Discomfort
   

   Without insulation, you will likely feel uncomfortable at your home. Either you will feel too cold during winter or too hot in summer since your thermal barrier can't keep heated or cooled air generated by your HVAC system within your living space.

2. Uneven Temperature
   

   When you notice that a certain room is constantly much colder or hotter than the other areas of the house, it indicates that your current insulation is insufficient and fails the job.

3. Spike Energy Charges
   

   When you have insufficient insulation, your HVAC system is likely constantly turned on to keep your home temperature regulated. You are overspending on energy charges only to have your costly conditioned air seep out through your attic, walls and windows.

4. Bug Infestation
   

   Aside from regulating temperature, it keeps small bugs from getting inside your home by completely sealing even tiny holes that can potentially serve as access.

5. Ice Dams
   Ice dam is a winter household problem that can further create damages to your home. To prevent it from forming on your roof, quality insulation must be installed to keep your attic warm especially during frigid winter months.
