Frequently Asked Questions About Insulation

Here are answers to some common questions about insulation.

  • How does home insulation impact heating and cooling costs?

    Proper insulation slows heat transfer, helping the home stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer, which reduces how often heating and cooling systems need to run.

  • What are common signs that a home is under-insulated?

    Uneven room temperatures, high energy bills, cold walls or floors, frequent HVAC cycling, and rooms that are difficult to keep comfortable often point to insulation gaps.

  • Can insulation improve comfort even if the HVAC system is working fine?

    Yes, insulation helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures and reduces drafts, making the home feel more comfortable without changing the heating or cooling equipment..

  • Does insulation help with noise control inside the home?

    Insulation can absorb and reduce sound transmission between rooms and from outside, making the home quieter and more peaceful.

  • How often should home insulation be checked or upgraded?

    Insulation should be evaluated when energy costs rise unexpectedly, during renovations, or if the home is older and may not meet modern insulation standards.
