Damaged or outdated attic insulation can significantly impact your HVAC mechanisms and your home’s energy efficiency. Attic insulation is designed as a protective layer between your roof and the rest of your home, and when your attic insulation is insufficient, it can lead to numerous issues like uneven temperature distribution, high humidity levels, and mould growth. At EcoComfort, our team of contractors is trained and certified in installing blown in insulation to ensure thermal protection, prevent air leaks, save on energy bills, and have a consistent indoor climate throughout your property.

Since attics are out of sight, they are out of many homeowners’ minds - making it easy to ignore the signs of poor attic insulation. When your attic insulation is not working as it should, it’s essential to be aware of possible signs to take action before further damage occurs to your attic or roof, costing you more money in the end.
If your insulation is 10+ years old, you have high energy bills without changes in usage, or you experience an overworked HVAC system that doesn’t evenly distribute temperatures - your attic insulation likely needs to be upgraded. To figure out the root of the issue, it’s crucial to schedule a professional attic inspection.
