Why Attic Insulation Matters
Your attic plays a critical role in maintaining your home’s energy efficiency, and its insulation acts as the first line of defense against extreme temperatures. But over time, even the best insulation can degrade, become ineffective, or fail to meet current energy standards. Knowing when your attic insulation needs to be replaced is essential for keeping your energy bills low and your home comfortable year-round.
Whether you’re battling Utah’s cold winters or scorching summers, old or damaged insulation can cause drafts, uneven temperatures, and overworked HVAC systems.
Common Signs Your Attic Insulation Is Failing
If you’ve been wondering whether it’s time for an upgrade, here are some telltale signs that your attic insulation might need replacing:
- Rising Energy Bills: If your heating or cooling costs have been steadily climbing, your insulation may no longer be doing its job.
- Uneven Temperatures: Hot or cold spots throughout the home often indicate poor or missing insulation.
- Visible Damage: Mold, mildew, water stains, or pest infestations in the can ruin insulation and reduce its effectiveness.
- Drafts or Cold Ceilings: If you feel a breeze indoors or notice cold ceilings and walls, it may be time for new insulation.
- Old or Settled Insulation: Over time, blown-in or batt insulation can settle, compress, or degrade, especially if it’s decades old.
