Poor insulation can significantly reduce the energy efficiency of your HVAC system, leading to higher energy bills and a less comfortable home environment. Insulation plays a crucial role in trapping heat or cold air within your home, preventing it from escaping through walls, ceilings, floors, and other openings. When insulation is inadequate or damaged, it allows warm air to escape in the winter and cool air to escape in the summer. This forces the HVAC system to work harder and longer to maintain the desired indoor temperature, consuming more energy and driving up your utility bills. Here's how inadequate insulation can impact your energy efficiency: Increased Heating and Cooling Costs: When warm air escapes in the winter, your furnace must work harder to replace it, consuming more energy and raising your heating bills. Conversely, when cool air escapes in the summer, your air conditioner must work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature, leading to hig...
