Your Home Insulation Questions Answered

  • When do I need to replace my insulation? Generally speaking, removing existing insulation and replacing it isn’t necessary. You can usually just add to the insulation your home currently has. The only times you would need to remove insulation is when a disaster or pest infestation has caused your insulation to become unsafe to have in your home.
  • Can I install insulation on my own? We highly discourage DIY insulation installation. Home insulation can be difficult to work with, and any sort of work involving this material needs to be done by a professional to ensure its effectiveness. Not to mention the risk that comes with handling home insulation, as improper handling without the right safety measures can cause injury.
  • How do I know if I need more insulation? Over time, you’ll need more home insulation to keep your living space comfortable. One of the biggest signs that you need to add to your insulation is higher utility bills caused by poor energy efficiency.
