Why Fall Is the Perfect Time for Insulation

September 28, 2025

In the fall, pretty colors appear on leaves, holidays happen one after the other, and life seems to just get busier. Not to mention, the weather changes right under your nose, forcing out sweatshirts and pants over tank tops and shorts.

Here at Spartan Insulation, we love a fall in Kalamazoo but also know that soon enough the cold can start to cause issues in your home if not insulated properly.

In this month’s blog, we’re discussing why fall is a perfect time to insulate or upgrade the insulation in your home, and why you should do it before it’s too late.

Signs for an Insulation Upgrade

We’re going to start by discussing signs that you may need an upgrade in your insulation for the upcoming winter.

Your first sign is obvious: If you have no insulation at all, then you should set up a time for insulation installation with us. Without it, you risk your energy bills rising, temperature fluctuations, mold and mildew growth, and poor living conditions overall.

If you have insulation and aren’t sure if you need an upgrade, here are some conditions to check:

  • High energy bills
  • Uneven temperatures
  • Drafts
  • Moisture issues

If you notice these, then it’s smart to consider contacting Spartan Insulation for a professional set of eyes on it and a plan of action.

Why Insulate in the Fall?

So, we know why it’s smart to have your insulation checked by a professional to ensure it’s working, and fall is a great time to do so because it’s in between two extreme seasons in Kalamazoo. Here’s some more reasons as to why you should get it checked sooner, rather than later:

  • Fall typically sees a decrease in demand for Spartan Insulation services, which can translate to better availability.
  • Addressing insulation needs in the fall allows ample time to prepare your home for the impending cold weather.
  • Decaying or rotting insulation can attract pests seeking, so upgrading insulation can help deter them.

Check Insulation with Us Before Winter

Depending on your insulation situation, you may be in for a rough winter and not even know until it’s too late.

That’s why it’s important to have a professional check up on your insulation, and begin planning upgrade or replacement if needed. Contact Spartan Insulation this fall to do so!
