Top 5 Signs Your Avon Home Needs New Insulation
A well-insulated home keeps you comfortable year-round, reduces energy costs, and protects against moisture problems. But insulation doesn’t last forever - and in Indiana’s climate, seasonal temperature swings can take a toll on its performance. If your home isn’t as comfortable or efficient as it used to be, your insulation may be the culprit.
Why insulation matters in Indiana’s climate
Avon homeowners experience cold winters, hot summers, and plenty of humidity in between. Without proper insulation, your home:
- Loses heat in the winter and gains heat in the summer.
- Forces your HVAC system to work harder.
- Is more susceptible to moisture buildup, which can lead to mold.
Sign #1: Your energy bills are rising
If your heating and cooling costs keep climbing without changes in usage or rates, it could be a sign that insulation has settled, compressed, or deteriorated. Proper insulation helps maintain steady indoor temperatures, reducing strain on your HVAC system.
Sign #2: Uneven temperatures between rooms
Do some rooms feel chilly in the winter and stifling in the summer? Uneven insulation coverage in walls, attics, or crawl spaces can cause hot and cold spots throughout the home.
Sign #3: Drafts or cold floors
Drafts near baseboards, outlets, or windows suggest gaps in your insulation or air sealing. In winter, floors may feel noticeably cold, especially over crawl spaces or uninsulated basements.
Sign #4: Ice dams in winter
When heat escapes through your roof, it can melt snow that refreezes at the eaves, forming ice dams. This isn’t just a roof issue - it’s often caused by inadequate attic insulation and poor ventilation.
Sign #5: Moisture or mold problems
Moisture inside walls, attics, or crawl spaces can indicate poor insulation or air sealing. In humid Indiana summers, this can quickly lead to mold growth, affecting air quality and structural integrity.
