βοΈ IS YOUR HOME LOSING HEAT THROUGH THE ATTIC?
Cold Idaho weather is right around the corner, and one of the biggest places your home can lose heat is through an underinsulated attic.
Before winter arrives, take a few minutes to check:
βοΈ Is your attic insulation evenly distributed?
βοΈ Are there bare spots or areas where insulation is missing?
βοΈ Has insulation been compressed or disturbed?
βοΈ Do you notice dark stains that could indicate air leaks?
βοΈ Are there signs of moisture or roof leaks?
π‘ HOMEOWNER TIP:
If you can easily see the tops of your attic floor joists above the insulation, there's a good chance your attic could benefit from additional insulation.
Proper insulation and air sealing can help lower heating bills, improve comfort, and reduce heat loss during Idaho's cold winters.
β οΈ Never cover attic ventilation openings, and avoid disturbing insulation that may contain asbestos.
