This is 3 things you didn’t know about the insulation in your attic
1. Your attic can hit 150°F on a hot day — and if your insulation is weak, that heat doesn’t stay up there. It pushes straight down into your ceiling and into every room below it.
2. Rodents and bugs love old insulation. It gets compacted, tunneled through, and full of gaps — which means it’s not just failing to insulate, it’s basically nesting material at this point.
3. Most homes were insulated once, when they were built, and never touched again. Insulation isn’t a “install it once and forget it” thing — it settles, thins out, and quietly stops doing its job after years.
