Although our team at Crawford Home Improvements is primarily known for providing high-quality renovation and remodeling services throughout the area, we’re also well-versed in repair and remediation solutions. One of our specialties involves installing new insulation, which is an essential service for those with older homes.
This winter, we encourage you to be on the lookout for signs that your home’s insulation may need to be replaced. Here are some common issues to watch for:
- Inconsistent indoor temperatures. If your living room feels toasty and warm but your bedroom still feels frigid, the issue may be with your home’s insulation rather than the indoor air flow. We encourage you to give us a call to evaluate the effectiveness of your insulation and identify areas of heat loss.
- Frequent HVAC cycling. If your HVAC system is constantly running, it may be working overtime to compensate for poor insulation. If your home can’t retain heat and outdoor air can easily get inside, your HVAC system will have difficulty maintaining a consistent temperature.
- Higher energy bills. When your heating system is constantly working hard to keep your home warm and cozy, you’ll see your energy bills increase over time. In addition to driving up energy costs, your HVAC system will also wear out quickly if you don’t address the problem promptly.
- Cold interior surfaces. When you touch the walls, floors, or ceilings throughout your home, they shouldn’t feel ice cold. If they do, the problem is likely poor or insufficient insulation.
