Heat loss within the home can be a major issue...
Here we are going to explore the two major reasons you could be losing heat within your home.
Why am I losing heat in my home?
Losing heat rapidly despite having an excellent home heating system can be highly frustrating.
There are two main reasons you may find your home to be cold, even with your heating on:
Inadequate Insulation
Dampness and Moisture
Inadequate Insulation
Insufficient Insulation in your walls, ceilings, and floors provides an escape route for heat from your home, allowing cold air to enter and lowering indoor temperatures. This inefficiency results in increased energy bills and prevents your home from maintaining warmth effectively. Investing in proper insulation can prevent the cold from permeating your home and reduce energy costs by ensuring that the heat remains trapped within your living space.
Dampness and Moisture
Damp and moisture within your home can lead to a loss of heat. Some of the key mechanisms by which this occurs are below:
Increased Heat Conductivity - Damp, especially in building materials like walls and floors, increases conductivity, allowing heat to be lost more easily.
Evaporative cooling effect - When moisture or damp is present on floors, walls, or ceilings, it can evaporate into the air. This evaporation process requires energy as heat, which is drawn from the surrounding environment, causing cooling within the home. As the moisture evaporates, it cools the surrounding air, making it feel colder in the affected areas.
