If your home is uncomfortable in both January and July, start with DIY improvements that target airflow, air mixing, and humidity.
Warm air rises and escapes at the top of the house. The escaping air creates a vacuum that pulls cold air in from the bottom. The colder it gets outside, the stronger this effect becomes.
When you upgrade an attic the right way—especially when you air seal and insulate the top of the home—energy outcomes can be dramatic.
Insulation is the foundation of home comfort. It fixes the problems most assume are caused by the furnace, the thermostat, or Chicago winters.
