Your insulation plays a key role in keeping your home comfortable. The insulation in your walls, roof, attic, and crawlspace prevents heat energy from seeping in or out of your home, helping it to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Like everything else, though, insulation gets old and becomes less effective over time, so it will eventually need to be replaced.
Our team at Patriot Spray Foam Insulation can take care of all your insulation needs, starting with helping you figure out when it’s time for an insulation replacement. Keep reading to learn a few signs it’s time to replace your insulation.
- Certain Areas Are Too Hot or Cold – One sign you might need to schedule insulation replacement services is certain areas of your home becoming persistently difficult to heat or cool. If there are rooms or spots in your home that always seem to be too hot or cold, then there may be a problem with the insulation in those areas.
- Moisture Issues – In addition to preventing heat transfer, your insulation also helps keep excess moisture out of your home. Therefore, if you start to have moisture issues, such as condensation or mildew, then it’s worth getting your insulation checked out. Using our insulation replacement services will help correct these moisture issues to keep your home safe from damage.
- Increased Energy Bills – A third sign you might need to schedule insulation replacement services is your energy bills becoming too high. If your utility bills have gone up but you haven’t changed your habits, then the increase could be due to failing insulation letting more heat seep in or out of your home. Replacing your old insulation can go a long way to bringing your energy bills back down.
