Attics Matter More Than You Think
Many homeowners instinctively check windows and doors for drafts, but the real culprit could be lurking overhead—in the attic. Under-insulated and leaky attics are common culprits for energy inefficiency.
Tackling the Core Issue
Poorly insulated attics allow warm air to escape through the roof, resulting in a vacuum effect that pulls cold air into the home through exterior weak spots. To counteract this, a crucial step is to ensure thorough air sealing and proper insulation levels in the attic. Air sealing plugs gaps that allow warm air to escape, while insulation acts as a barrier to retain heat within living spaces.
