Friday FAQ: What Are the Signs That My Insulation Needs to Be Replaced?

Proper insulation is key to keeping your home comfortable and energy-efficient, especially during the colder months. But how do you know when it’s time to replace your insulation? Worn-out or damaged insulation can lead to higher energy bills, poor temperature control, and even pest infestations. Here are some telltale signs that your insulation needs to be replaced — and how Paragon Pest Control can help you save with our WINTERCOMBO deal!

1. Unusually High Energy Bills

If your energy bills have been climbing and you can’t pinpoint why, your insulation may not be doing its job. Insulation that’s old, compressed, or damaged can allow heat to escape, forcing your HVAC system to work harder. This inefficiency can significantly impact your utility costs, especially during winter.

2. Cold Drafts or Uneven Temperatures

Do you notice cold drafts in certain rooms or temperature differences throughout your home? This can be a sign that your insulation is no longer effective. Insulation should create a consistent thermal barrier, and gaps or damage can compromise that barrier, making your home less comfortable.

3. Pest Infestations

Rodents, like mice and rats, love nesting in insulation. If you’ve had a rodent infestation or see signs like droppings, gnawed materials, or unusual smells, your insulation could be contaminated and damaged. Simply removing the rodents isn’t enough — you need to replace the affected insulation to restore a clean, healthy home environment.

At Paragon Pest Control, we offer comprehensive rodent exclusion services to seal entry points and prevent pests from returning. Pair it with insulation replacement for a complete solution and enjoy $150 in savings with our WINTERCOMBO offer:

4. Water Damage or Mold

Water-damaged insulation loses its effectiveness and can become a breeding ground for mold. If you’ve experienced leaks, flooding, or notice musty odors, it’s time to check your insulation. Moldy insulation can compromise your indoor air quality and pose health risks. Replacing it promptly is essential to maintaining a safe and healthy home.

5. Insulation Looks Worn Out

Sometimes, a visual inspection can reveal problems. If your insulation looks compressed, discolored, or is visibly damaged, it’s a clear sign it needs to be replaced. This is especially common in older homes where insulation has settled or degraded over time.
