New Generation Spray Foam, homeowners typically see their energy bills rise, but if yours are drastically higher than they should be this season—or at any other time of year, for that matter—it could mean that you have poor attic insulation. The good news is that adding or upgrading your home’s attic insulation is an inexpensive and effective home improvement project that typically pays for itself in lower energy costs.

Here are a few signs that your attic needs insulation:

1. Fog or condensation on windows. Fog and condensation on your windows indicate that the hot air inside your house is rising into the cold attic space, where it meets the cooler glass. This creates a barrier that keeps the warm air from reaching the living spaces below, leading to high energy usage in an attempt to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.

2. Discolored or torn insulation. If your attic insulation is visibly torn or shredded, it’s time to replace it. This can occur from moisture problems, pest infestations, and sloppy work from post-construction subcontractors who accessed the attic to install cable, home automation equipment, or other services. This shredded or discolored insulation also reduces its ability to trap and keep heat in your home.

3. Rat droppings or insect nesting. Rats and insects love to make their homes in old, damaged insulation, which can lead to health risks for you and your family. If you find rodent droppings or nests in your attic, it’s time to invest in new insulation that will provide a protective barrier against uninvited guests.
