It sucks when you’re cold in you own home, but did you know that most Canadian homes lose a good portion of the heat their furnaces produces through improper insulation or construction. This leads to increasing the thermostat to compensate for the loss and consequently an increase in heating costs
Most people don’t really know where the heat is escaping in their homes.
Here a few of the most common areas where heat loss occurs in the average Canadian home.
Attic
This is the most common place for heat loss and can be up to as much as 24% .
Doors & Windows
Poor installation is mostly the cause for heat loss in these areas and can also add 25% loss.
Basement Floors
Almost 15% of home heat lost is through the basement and other floors.
Spray foam insulation is one of the options that is available to combat these areas of heat loss. Attics are especially easy to upgrade with spray foam and can raise your R – Value per inch: 5 – 6 with a typical average cost of around $2,200.
