What to look for
Insulation that sits below the tops of the ceiling joists is a common sign that coverage is too low. Uneven areas, matted material, or bare patches are also common indicators.
How the symptoms show up in the home
Upstairs rooms that stay hot in summer and cold in winter. Energy bills that feel high for the size of the home. HVAC that runs longer than expected. Rooms that never quite reach the thermostat setting.
Why air sealing matters first
Adding insulation on top of unsealed bypasses leaves those leaks in place. Sealing the attic floor before adding insulation is what lets the new insulation actually perform.
