We’re in the dog days of summer, but now’s the perfect time to get ahead of winter comfort and energy costs. One of the biggest culprits for wasted energy? Your attic.
👉 If you peek up there and only see an inch or two of insulation, it’s not enough. Upgrading insulation can make your home heat and cool more evenly and lower your bills. But here’s the key: insulation alone won’t cut it. Air sealing is just as important.
Those dark stains or dust trails you sometimes see on ceilings and walls? That’s warm air leaking into the attic. Seal those gaps first so your insulation actually works.
And don’t forget your exhaust ducts—older systems often share a vent, and if the pipes aren’t insulated, you could be dealing with moisture issues and reduced efficiency.
✅ Insulation, air sealing, and proper exhaust mean lower bills, more comfort, and less risk of hidden problems.
🔎 Quick Attic Checklist for Homeowners
✔️ Insulation depth: More than 1–2 inches?
✔️ Stains/dust trails: Signs of air leakage?
