Over time, your home’s insulation naturally settles—and that’s a problem. When it does, tiny gaps begin to form, and your home starts leaking cool air in the summer and warm air in the winter. That means higher energy bills and a less comfortable living space, right when you need it most.
Here are some effective insulation tips to help keep your home energy-efficient all year long:
- Check your attic insulation – Heat rises, and a poorly insulated attic can cause major heat loss. Look for signs of settling or thinning.
- Seal windows and doors – Use weather stripping or caulk to seal drafts around frames. Even small leaks can make a big difference.
- Insulate your pipes – Prevent freezing and heat loss by wrapping exposed pipes, especially in basements and crawl spaces.
- Add insulation to exterior walls – If your home is older, consider upgrading wall insulation to improve overall energy efficiency.
- Check basement and crawl space insulation – These often-overlooked areas can be big sources of heat loss if not properly insulated.
