Does your home have a heat transfer problem?

10 March 2021 by Audrey Ramos

Do you find yourself struggling to sleep at night because it is too warm? Maybe, you have the opposite problem, and you spend your time shivering on cold evenings because your home doesn't retain heat well. Many homes have a heat transfer problem. Unless your home is well-insulated, the air temperature inside the home will soon be the same as the outside temperature. You can run your HVAC system all day to try to bring the temperature to a level that is comfortable for you, but that is inconvenient and soon becomes incredibly expensive. A better solution is to stop the heat transfer by fitting residential insulation.

Where does heat transfer occur?

Heat transfer can occur in almost any area of a home, but some parts of your house will be much more of a problem than others. If you have any obvious gaps, these must be removed. You might have doors that don't fit well into their frames or windows that need an extra layer of glazing, these will allow the air from outside to penetrate your home. Once you have dealt with gaps, you can look at the less obvious areas of heat transfer. Heat can transfer through your walls and roof of your property, the best way to stop that is by calling a residential insulation company. If you are experiencing significant heat transfer despite your home being insulated in the past, you should still call the residential insulation company. Recent standards now require a higher insulation level than previously, and you could now have a more effective insulation solution fitted.

What residential insulation solution do you need?

When you speak to the insulation company, the first thing that they will need to do is arrange a site visit. The insulation team will visit your property and identify the most likely causes of heat transfer. They could speak to you about the advantages of cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, or whatever type of insulation your property may need. After the insulation is fitted, you should notice that you are running your HVAC system less and that it is much easier to maintain a comfortable temperature within your home.

To identify residential insulation options for your property, speak to your local insulation company today. Whatever questions you may have about the insulation process, they will be happy to answer them and show you the benefits that insulation can offer your home.
