Here’s a telltale sign. If your home was built before 1980, that automatically makes you one of the 77 million Americans whose homes are insufficiently insulated, if they are insulated at all. Prior to 1980, there were no building codes for insulation minimums. And even if your home was built after 1980, the standards for insulation have consistently changed over the years. The required insulation decades ago may not meet code today, which means it would be worth doing an insulation inspection!
If you answer “Yes” to any of the questions below, we may be able to help. Let us do a home insulation inspection so you can know for sure.
Is your home too hot and stuffy in the summer?
Is it too cold in the winter?
Are your energy bills higher than expected?
Do your allergies flare up when you are IN your house?
Is the upper floor 5-10 degrees hotter than the main floor in summer…colder than the main floor in winter?
Are some rooms in your home a different temperature than others, even on the same floor?
Do you feel drafts in certain rooms?
Does your air conditioner work overtime in summer?
