Good insulation makes a major difference to your home\u2019s energy efficiency.<\/p>\n

But how do you know if you need to replace your insulation?<\/p>\n

Do you have an HVAC pro you can trust?<\/p>\n

Not everyone does.<\/p>\n

So take a look at these telling signs that indicate your home needs new insulation:<\/p>\n

1. Changing Indoor Temperatures <\/strong><\/p>\n

When you walk around your home, do you notice differences in temperature?<\/p>\n

Each room in your home should be around the temperature you have set on your thermostat.<\/p>\n

If you feel obvious temperature differences as you move about your house, that\u2019s an almost guaranteed sign you need updated insulation (and perhaps air sealing too).<\/p>\n

2. Higher Energy Bills<\/strong><\/p>\n

This one can be somewhat difficult to discern. High energy bills can have many different causes.<\/p>\n

Someone in your home could simply be using more energy than usual. You might have an air sealing problem.<\/p>\n

Or, prices simply could have increased quite a bit. Texas, for example, saw natural gas production recently slip by about 25%<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And natural gas helps produce much of the electricity Texas uses.<\/p>\n

Lower supply with the same or greater demand means higher prices.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, higher energy bills can be a strong indicator your insulation needs updating.<\/p>\n

You just might have to do a little homework to find the true source of the problem.<\/p>\n

3. You Have Pest Control Problems<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rodents love to nibble away at your home\u2019s insulation. It seems like their favorite pastime.<\/p>\n

Mice, squirrels, racoons, possums, and bats all have great natural skill at chewing up your insulation.<\/p>\n

If you have any present, you likely have damaged insulation somewhere in your home.<\/p>\n

Once you get your pest problem under control, inspect your insulation to see if you can find any missing.<\/p>\n

4. You Can Feel Drafts <\/strong><\/p>\n

You should never be able to feel air moving around your home.<\/p>\n

Well, technically, the only air you should ever feel moving around your home should come from a floor or ceiling fan.<\/p>\n

If you feel any other kind of draft, that\u2019s a sure-fire sign your insulation has problems.<\/p>\n

5. You Can Easily Hear Outside Noise<\/strong><\/p>\n

Insulation isn\u2019t soundproof.<\/p>\n

But it does act as a buffer between you and the sound you hear from the outside world.<\/p>\n

Regular noise from the outside world shouldn\u2019t be loud enough to bother you.<\/p>\n

So if you can\u2019t sleep or if you find yourself constantly bothered by outdoor noise, you might need better insulation.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, only you can make the decision to add new insulation to your home.<\/p>\n

Consider these factors along with the advice of a few HVAC pros, and then install new insulation if and when it makes sense.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
