Where is that cold air coming from?
The winter season can surely show us parts of our homes that are vulnerable to heat loss! As the winter chill sets in, you might find yourself shivering as you walk past your front door or reaching for a blanket in your living room often.
Since there are many ways that the winter air can sneak into our homes, it is important to investigate any chilly spots or cold rooms in your home quickly.
Mini Draft Problems
Not all draft issues are obvious! Some might be lurking silently or are coming from a tiny gap somewhere inconspicuous.
Your electrical outlets, switch plates, doggy doors and mail slots are all small areas of your home that have access to the outdoor temperatures.
For small cracks or leaks, you can use a caulking gun and run a small bead along the crack line. For things like your doggy door or mail slot, consider closing them up for the season and manually let your pup outside. Over time, this will help keep the heat inside your home where it belongs!
Investigate Doors and Windows
One of the most common places for heat loss within our homes is around our doors and windows. Since they are direct excess points to the outdoors, even the smallest of gaps or cracks along the seals could cause a chilly draft or uneven temperature in your room.
Simple kits like insulation film or weatherstripping materials can help reduce this problem. Installation usually takes 15 minutes or less and can put a stop to that little draft immediately.
Where the Insulation Professionals Come in
While DIY-ing your way through simple insulation projects like this can be an easy solution to minor problems, larger projects should be handled by a team of professionals. We can handle the installation from start to finish, and we can promise that your insulation will be installed safely and up to code every time.
Big projects like insulating an entire level or a brand new room, getting it right in the first place will save you time and money in the long run. If your new space is vulnerable to heat loss, you could wind up with an even bigger (and more costly) project on your hands! Give us a call. We are ready to help you.
When you are ready for a professional insulation team to help you reach your goals, give us a call at Koala Insulation of Northwest Pennsylvania.
