Why Is One Room Colder Than the Rest?
When one room stays noticeably colder than the rest of the house, it can be a sign that something about that part of the building is performing differently.
Insulation gaps, air leakage, attic conditions, exterior walls, floors over unconditioned spaces and other building details can all contribute to uneven temperatures.
Why One Part of the Home May Feel Different.
A colder room can result from several building conditions, and more than one may be contributing at the same time.
Missing or Uneven Insulation
Thin, compressed, disturbed or missing insulation can allow more heat to escape through one part of the home than another.
Unwanted Air Leakage
Gaps around framing, trim, penetrations, attic areas or other parts of the building envelope can allow cold outdoor air in or conditioned air out.
More Exterior Exposure
Corner rooms, rooms over garages or crawl spaces, and spaces with more exterior wall or ceiling area can behave differently from rooms surrounded by conditioned space.
Attic, Floor or Wall Differences
Framing details, attic conditions, floor assemblies and other construction differences can affect how easily heat moves through a particular part of the home.
A Cold Room Does Not Automatically Mean You Need More Insulation.
Grand Traverse Insulation looks at insulation, air leakage and the surrounding building conditions before recommending the improvement that makes sense.
