Why Your Attic Needs Extra Care During Calgary Winters

Calgary winters are long, cold, and harsh. While you might focus on shoveling snow and keeping your home warm, one important space often gets overlooked—your attic. Neglecting your attic during winter can lead to heat loss, mold, and costly repairs.

Here’s why your attic needs extra attention this winter and how you can protect your home.

🌬️ Heat Loss Through Poor Insulation

Without proper insulation, warm air from your home escapes into the attic. This makes your furnace work harder, leading to:

• 💸 Higher energy bills

• ❄️ Cold spots in your home

• 🌡️ Uneven heating

Attic insulation top-ups can make your home more energy-efficient and comfortable all season long.

💧 Moisture and Mold Problems

During winter, warm indoor air meets cold attic surfaces, creating condensation. This moisture leads to:

• Black spots and mold growth 🦠

• Musty odors

• Damage to wooden structures

Mold in your attic doesn’t just damage your home—it also affects your health.

🧊 Ice Dams and Roof Damage

When heat escapes into your attic, it melts the snow on your roof. The water runs down and refreezes at the edge, forming ice dams. These ice dams cause:

• Roof leaks

• Water seeping into walls and ceilings

• Expensive structural damage
