Homeowner tip of the week:
❄️/🔥 Tip: Check Your Attic Breezeways
If your home is costing a fortune to heat or cool, the issue might not be your furnace—it could be your attic's ventilation.
The Problem: When insulation is blown into an attic, it frequently covers the soffit vents (the vents underneath your roof overhang). This suffocates the attic, trapping blistering heat in the summer and moisture in the winter, which can lead to mold and premature shingle rot.
The Fix: Next time you look in the attic, ensure your insulation isn't packed tight against the roof edges. You should see clear space or plastic "baffles" (breezeways) allowing fresh air to flow up from the soffits. A breathing attic is a healthy house!
