Do you find that your home is cold in the winter even when your heat is running? Is your house losing warmth faster than it should be?
This is a rather common problem that many have during the winter. However, most do not know that this can be caused by reasons outside of old heating systems. In fact, it can actually signal issues with insulation, roofing, and even siding.
Poor insulation is a major cause of cold houses in the winter. If your insulation is old, heat can escape through the walls or attic. This makes your heating system work harder and can lead to high energy bills with an uncomfortable home.
If your roof is older or damaged, heat can escape through tiny gaps. This can be caused by worn shingles that let cold air in and heat out. Heat rises, it can cause a noticeable drop in temperature.
The same can be said for siding. If siding is bending or cracking, it can’t insulate as well, allowing heat to seep out.
In addition, windows and doors can cause problems as they get older. The seal around them can weaken, letting colder air come in.
Fixing these issues can help your home stay warmer, reduce energy bills, and protect your house from further damage during harsh winter weather.
