Is Your Crawl Space Costing You Heat This Winter?

Crawl spaces in Louisville homes often go overlooked—but they play a major role in winter comfort and energy costs. At Koala Insulation of Louisville, we frequently find that homes losing heat in winter are losing it from below.

Let’s break down why your crawl space could be the real culprit.

Why The Crawl Space Matters More Than You Think

Cold air inside an uninsulated crawl space pushes up through floors, making rooms feel chilly even when the thermostat says they shouldn’t. This forces your heating system to run longer, increasing energy use and reducing overall comfort.

Koala Insulation of Louisville assesses moisture, air gaps and insulation levels to determine the best approach for your home.

Warning Signs Your Crawl Space Needs Attention

• Cold or drafty floors in winter
• High humidity or musty odors
• Rooms above the crawl space colder than the rest
• Rising winter heating bills
• Older homes with no insulation below the flooring

If this sounds familiar, your crawl space could be a major heat-loss zone.

What We Recommend for Louisville Crawl Spaces

Based on your home’s age and structure, we may recommend:
• Spray foam insulation for air sealing + thermal performance
• Batt insulation for cost-effective coverage
• Vapor barrier installation to reduce moisture issues
• Air-sealing key penetrations to stop cold drafts permanently

Koala Insulation of Louisville uses materials that hold up against Kentucky’s winter humidity and temperature swings.
