        A healthy house today`s is well-sealed, well-insulated and properly ventilated.A well-insulated house is a bit like dressing for the weather. A wool sweater will keep you warm if the wind is not blowing and it is not raining. On a windy, rainy day, wearing a nylon shell over your wool sweater helps keep you reasonably dry and warm. A house is similar. On the outside, underneath the brick or siding, there is an air barrier that does the same thing as the nylon — it keeps the wind from blowing through. Then there is the insulation (like your sweater) and then a vapour barrier, which helps keep moisture away from the house structure where it can do damage

Signs of Insulation Problems

• walls cold to touch
• cold floors
• high heating costs
• uneven heating levels within building
• mold growing on walls
