While insulation is highly beneficial, some homeowners encounter challenges. Be aware of these potential issues and how to address them:
1. Uneven Temperature Distribution:
It may take time for your home’s temperature to balance. If problems persist, check for gaps or missed areas in insulation.
2. Moisture Build-Up or Damp:
Poor ventilation can lead to dampness or mould. Ensure adequate airflow and consult an expert if issues arise.
3. Condensation:
Frequent condensation on windows or walls may indicate a ventilation or insulation issue. Address promptly to prevent additional problems.
4. Quality of Work:
If you’re concerned about improper installation, consult your installer or seek an independent assessment.
5. Energy Bills Not Decreasing:
This may be due to factors beyond insulation, such as inefficient heating systems. Insulation typically complements a broader energy efficiency strategy.
6. Ageing or Damaged Insulation:
Over time, insulation might degrade due to pests, moisture, or wear. Regular inspections will help you spot issues early.
