One of the best ways to improve the energy efficiency of your home and maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and air quality is through insulation—and it all starts in the attic. With that in mind, here are three of the most common attic insulation mistakes you will want to avoid.
- Insufficient Insulation: Insufficient insulation in the attic can lead to significant issues for your home, including drafts from the attic that filter through the space, inconsistent temperatures, and higher energy bills. If you notice any of these issues or warning signs, it is likely you have insufficient attic insulation and need more insulation to resolve the issues.
- Wrong Type of Insulation: There are many different types of insulation, but they don’t all offer the same benefits. For instance, there are some types of insulation that may not work well for our climate. Understanding this, it’s easy to see why it’s important to choose the right type of insulation.
