A properly insulated home reduces energy bills, improves comfort, and prevents condensation. But the quality of your indoor air isn’t just dependent on the type of insulation you have, but alsoon  how well it works with your ventilation system. In this article, we’ll explain how the two work together to provide a comfortable environment all year round.

Insulation slows heat transfer through conduction and convection – it stops the flow of warmth in winter, and stops cool air from entering in summer. It’s also a key component to regulating indoor air moisture levels. In fact, a poorly insulated and ventilated house can cause humidity problems, including condensation, mold growth, asthma, allergies, respiratory issues, and other health complications.

How Insulation Impacts Airflow: Balancing Ventilation and Efficiency

Proper insulation in Lapeer County, Michigan requires both good design and installation to work effectively. Using the right materials for your region’s climate, along with proper construction and air sealing will ensure your insulation works as it should.

Incorrect installation can compromise your energy efficiency and lead to moisture problems like rot, mold and fungus. A qualified professional can assess your home, recommend the correct materials and ensure a quality installation for optimum performance.

A common cause of drafty rooms is the lack of insulation around doors and windows, or poor insulating in the attic. In addition, leaky attics can cause ice dams (ice buildup in the gutters) and water damage to your ceilings and walls. Correctly addressing these and other air leaks will improve your home’s thermal efficiency and indoor air quality.
