7 Signs You Need Insulation

Whether you have Keystone Premier Spray Foam Insulation, fiberglass batts, or blanket insulation, it can lose its effectiveness over time. When this happens, your home’s energy efficiency suffers and it could cost you more than you think. Here are seven signs it’s time to invest in new insulation:

Energy Bills Are Increasing

Huge increases on your utility bills are an indicator that the fiberglass insulation in your attic or walls has lost its ability to protect your home from the outside temperatures. A professional insulation and air sealing job can stop the loss of energy and reduce your energy costs.

Walls and Ceilings Feel Cold

When heat escapes from your home, it will typically travel to the nearest cold surface — which is often your walls. If the walls in your home are consistently cold to the touch, this indicates that the insulation is no longer performing its function as well as it should.

Your House Has a Draft

Having a draft in specific areas of your home is another sign that it’s time for a new insulation project. Your heater and air conditioner will have to work overtime in order to maintain a comfortable temperature, leading to high energy bills.

A draft in your home may also be caused by an issue with your plumbing pipes. If your insulation is not doing its job, your pipes are susceptible to freezing in our Minnesota winters, causing water damage and potentially thousands of dollars worth of repairs. Insulation prevents warm air from reaching your pipes and helps them stay thawed so they do not burst.
