Is Your Attic Insulation Costing You Money? 4 Signs to Watch

Your attic does more for your comfort than almost any other part of your home. When insulation settles, thins out, or was never adequate to begin with, you feel it — and you pay for it. Here are four signs worth watching.

1. Hot Upstairs, Cool Downstairs

If your upper floor is always warmer than the rest of the house, heat may be radiating down from an under-insulated attic. Proper insulation helps keep that heat where it belongs.

2. Energy Bills Keep Climbing

Heating and cooling are the biggest drivers of most home energy bills. When conditioned air escapes into the attic, your system works harder and runs longer.

3. Uneven or Drafty Rooms

Rooms that never seem to reach a comfortable temperature often point to gaps and air leaks in the attic that allow conditioned air to escape.

4. You Can See the Joists

A simple visual check tells you a lot. If your insulation sits at or below the level of the floor joists, it's likely too thin for Georgia's climate.
