Why Upgrade Old Fiberglass Insulation?

Why Upgrade Old Fiberglass Insulation

Upgrading the attic insulation in older homes can help reduce heating and cooling costs and create a more comfortable living environment. It can also equalize temperatures between rooms and across floors, reduce outside noises, and cut energy consumption by up to 25%.1

When to Upgrade Insulation

Several factors can indicate that your home needs more insulation, including high energy bills that don’t match your household size or weather patterns, and visible signs of wear like gaps, holes, and discoloration. You can also experience discomfort from cold or hot spots in different areas of your home, or notice drafts.

If your existing insulation is wet, sagging, or has mold growth in it, it needs to be replaced right away. Fiberglass and cellulose insulation will lose their insulating properties when they become wet, and moisture in walls can lead to mold and mildew. Mold can be a significant health risk for homeowners, especially those with allergies and asthma. Upgrading to foam insulation can eliminate these issues by creating an air seal that keeps outdoor allergens out where they belong.
