Air leakage happens when the air inside your home escapes through cracks and gaps due to inadequate home insulation. This results in your paying for air-conditioning that ends up being wasted.

How Can I Determine If My Home Has Enough Insulation?
Homes that are older may not have enough insulation. To check the insulation level in your home, there are several options depending on the type of home or roof and access to the home. It’s generally not recommended to walk around in the home, but if you have access to it, you can do a basic visual inspection by looking around with a flashlight.
If your home or upper floor is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter, it is likely that your home insulation is insufficient. A visual inspection of the home can show if the insulation level is equal to or below the home joists, indicating that more insulation is needed.
If the insulation is not evenly distributed, there are low spots, there is moisture or evidence of rodent activity, a professional assessment should be done to address the issues.
The amount of insulation required depends on the location in BC and the level of efficiency desired. In BC’s climate zone 4 (Southern Vancouver Island and Lower Mainland), an home is considered well-insulated if it has R40-R60 insulation level. For new home built to code in BC’s climate zone 5 (central BC), the required minimum insulation level is R50.
