Is your house feeling drafty in the winter or unusually warm in the summer? You might be dealing with a hidden issue: outdated or inadequate insulation. Knowing the top signs your home needs new insulation can save you money, improve comfort, and even extend the life of your home’s heating and cooling systems.
1. Your Energy Bills Keep Climbing
If your heating or cooling bills are going up without any major change in usage, your insulation could be the problem. Old or insufficient insulation forces your HVAC system to work harder just to maintain a comfortable temperature.
2. Rooms Have Uneven Temperatures
Do some rooms in your home feel colder or hotter than others? That’s often a sign of poor insulation distribution—especially in attics, walls, or crawlspaces.
3. Drafts and Cold Spots
If you notice cold air coming in around windows, doors, or even through walls, you likely need better air sealing and insulation. This is especially common in older Edmonton homes.
4. Ice Dams on Your Roof
In winter, ice dams form when heat escapes from a poorly insulated attic, melting snow on the roof. The melted snow refreezes at the eaves, potentially causing leaks and damage.
5. Pest Infestations or Moisture Issues
Poor insulation can let in pests and allow moisture buildup, leading to mold, rot, and even structural issues over time.
6. Your Home Is Just… Uncomfortable
If your house never feels “just right” no matter how much you adjust the thermostat, insulation could be to blame.
