Why Your Bonus Room Is Always Hot

Send us Fan Mail

Is your bonus room always hot in the summer and freezing in the winter? Most homeowners are told to add more insulation, replace the windows, or install a bigger HVAC system. Unfortunately, those expensive fixes often miss the real problem.

In this video, I explain the building science behind uncomfortable bonus rooms and show you why air sealing is almost always the first step. You'll learn where conditioned air escapes, how knee walls affect comfort, and why sealing before insulating can make a dramatic difference.

In this video you'll learn:
• Why bonus rooms get so hot
• The hidden problem behind knee walls
• Why insulation alone doesn't solve it
• Common myths that waste money
• The correct order: air seal first, insulate second

If you're dealing with an uncomfortable room over your garage, this video will help you understand the real cause before spending thousands on the wrong solution.
