Why Are Some Rooms in Your Baltimore Home Colder Than Others?

Have you ever noticed that one room in your house always feels colder than the rest? Perhaps that room is the bedroom, a room over the garage or the corner where you always need an extra blanket. This is a problem in Baltimore‑area homes especially when cooler weather arrives.

Your insulation could be the problem. Uneven temperatures often show that insulation is missing, thin or no longer doing its job. Some areas of your home may have plenty of insulation while other areas have gaps that allow heat to escape.

Rooms over garages and areas near attics can feel especially noticeable. Without insulation between living space and an unheated area those rooms can become uncomfortable quickly.

Small air leaks add up. Insulation is not always the issue. Small cracks and gaps around windows, doors, attic access points and other areas can let outside air into your home. You may not see these openings. You can definitely feel the drafts created by cracks.

Air sealing those problem areas along with improving insulation can help keep temperatures consistent throughout your home.

Make every room more comfortable. If you are constantly adjusting the thermostat because one or two rooms never feel quite right, having insulation checked may be worth it.
