What Winter Insulation Mistakes Are Midlands Homeowners Making?

Winter in the Midlands can bring chilly nights that expose insulation problems in your home. At Koala Insulation of Midlands, we see the same mistakes homeowners make each year—and how they drive up energy bills and reduce comfort.

Mistake 1: Ignoring Attic Insulation

Many homeowners overlook the attic, where heat loss can be significant. Without proper insulation, warm air escapes, and your heating system works harder. Koala Insulation of Midlands installs attic insulation that keeps your home warm and energy-efficient.

Mistake 2: Neglecting Crawl Spaces and Floors

Cold floors and drafty rooms often come from uninsulated or poorly insulated crawl spaces. Upgrading these areas helps stabilize indoor temperatures and prevents energy waste. Our team ensures your crawl space insulation is done right.

Mistake 3: Skipping Air Sealing

Insulation alone isn’t enough. Gaps around doors, windows, and vents allow heat to escape. Koala Insulation of Midlands combines insulation with expert air sealing to maximize efficiency and comfort.

Mistake 4: Using the Wrong Type of Insulation

Not all insulation is created equal. Batt, blown-in, and spray foam each have their place. Choosing the wrong type for your home or climate can reduce effectiveness. We help homeowners select the best insulation for their Midlands home.

Mistake 5: Waiting Too Long to Upgrade

Many homeowners delay insulation upgrades until winter is well underway. Addressing insulation needs before or at the start of winter ensures comfort and cost savings throughout the season.
