Testing your home’s Insulation Contractor ensures that it’s working properly and providing the protection you expect. Over time, insulation can deteriorate, become compacted, or lose efficiency. Testing helps determine whether replacement or additional insulation is needed.

Start by visually inspecting for gaps or exposed joists in your attic. You can also measure the insulation’s depth to compare it against recommended R-values for your region.

Methods to Measure Insulation Performance

Professional contractors use Thermography or infrared cameras to detect temperature differences and identify energy leaks. A blower door test can also measure how airtight your home is, revealing areas of heat loss.

DIY homeowners can perform a basic touch test — walls or ceilings that feel cold during winter or hot in summer often lack adequate insulation. Keep track of energy bills; sudden spikes can signal insulation problems. Testing insulation regularly ensures maximum energy efficiency, better indoor comfort, and reduced strain on heating and cooling systems.
