The Real Cost of Poor Insulation in BC Homes

Infographic showing the real costs of poor attic insulation in BC homes, including energy waste, moisture damage, roof wear, and decreased comfort.

 

When it comes to protecting your home, poor attic insulation isn’t just uncomfortable — it’s expensive. In British Columbia’s wet, chilly climate, homes without proper insulation leak heat, energy, and money year-round.

At InsulationBC.com, we specialize in high-performance R50+ attic insulation to help homeowners across Coquitlam, Surrey, Port Moody, and the Lower Mainland cut costs and live more comfortably.

1. Sky-High Energy Bills

Without enough insulation, your heating and cooling systems have to work much harder. That means higher monthly utility bills — often hundreds of dollars per year wasted just trying to maintain a livable temperature.

2. Risk of Costly Moisture Damage

In BC’s damp climate, poor insulation can cause condensation inside your attic, leading to mold, mildew, and wood rot. Repairing structural damage can easily run into the tens of thousands.

3. Reduced Home Comfort

Drafts, cold spots, and fluctuating indoor temperatures are more than just annoyances — they’re signs your home is wasting energy. New buyers notice comfort issues immediately, hurting your property value.

4. Shorter Roof Lifespan

Poor insulation can lead to ice dams, moisture buildup, and uneven roof temperatures — all of which can significantly shorten your roof’s life, leading to premature (and expensive) replacement costs.

Don’t Let Poor Insulation Drain Your Wallet

If you’ve noticed higher energy bills, uneven temperatures, or signs of moisture, your attic insulation may need an upgrade.

We offer free attic inspections and R50+ blown-in insulation installs designed for BC’s unique conditions.
