Is Your Baltimore Home Ready for Cooler Weather?

Fall in the Baltimore area can come without warning. One week you have the windows open and the next you’re using the heater. Before the colder weather arrives it’s time to check that your home’s insulation is working properly.

Start With the Attic

Your attic is one of the places to look. If your insulation is old, not spread out evenly or simply not enough warm air can escape from the top of your house. That can make rooms feel cold and force your heating system to work more than it needs to.

Adding insulation or filling in what you have can make a big difference in how comfortable your home feels.

Don’t Forget About Air Leaks

Insulation is not the thing you need to consider. Small spaces and holes around the attic, around windows, doors and other parts of the house can let air in.

Air sealing helps to close those openings so the air you are paying for stays inside. When insulation and air sealing are used together your home can keep a more steady temperature.

A Little Prep Now Can Help All Winter

If you noticed spots, air coming in through windows or doors or higher heating bills last winter you don’t have to wait for the cold season to fix them. Fall is a time to have your insulation checked and deal with any issues before winter comes.
