Challenges of Michigan Winters in Mattawan Homes
Mattawan’s location in Allegan County means cold, snowy winters and unpredictable temperature swings. Homes near Main Street or close to Mattawan High School, especially older ones built before modern insulation standards, often struggle with heat loss. Common issues include:
Drafty rooms: Gaps in walls or attics let cold air seep in.
High energy bills: Poor insulation forces your furnace to work overtime.
Ice dams: Heat escaping through the roof melts snow, causing costly roof damage.
These problems are worse in historic homes or rural properties near Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery, where insulation may be outdated or nonexistent. Without proper insulation, you’re not just uncomfortable—you’re wasting money.
