Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my house needs re-insulating?
There are a few ways to assess the insulation needs of your home. Obvious signs of poor insulation include:
Drafts
Unusually hot or cold spots on the floor
Poor indoor air quality
Poor sound isolation
Moisture infiltration
Unusually high energy bills
Difficulty keeping your home comfortable
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, you almost certainly need to re-insulate your home.
For more subtle cases, you can compare your existing insulation to the recommendations from the Department of Energy for your climate zone. Different materials have different R-values per inch of thickness, and the DOE has suggested total R-values for different parts of your home you can look at.
What materials are used for re-insulating?
Re-insulation can use all of the same materials for insulating a new home, but some are much easier to use for re-insulation than others; it’s not usually efficient or reasonable to tear down all of your walls to install new fiberglass batts, for example.
For this reason, re-insulation largely utilizes blown-in and spray foam insulation, which can be applied in difficult-to-access areas and/or directly over existing insulation with a minimum of difficulty.
Do I need to remove the insulation before re-insulating my home?
In most cases, you don’t need to remove existing insulation, and you’ll be able to apply new insulation while taking advantage of any R-value offered by the previous insulation.
However, there are a few scenarios where this won’t work. If there is a sign of water damage, such as mold, then you’ll want to replace the existing insulation.
You’ll also need to replace the insulation if there isn’t enough room for the R-value you want while keeping the existing insulation in place — such as if you have older insulation with a poor R-value for its density that you’re replacing with a more efficiently insulative material.
