Default how to find out if walls of house are insulated?


"Joe" wrote in message

My outside walls felt cold this past winter and I wanted to check if
they were insulated. Outside of knocking a hole in the wall is there
any better way of managing the destruction to see inside the walls? If
I put the hole low to the floor will I be able to see insulation or
does it generally start further up and how big of a how is necessary?


How hot are the inside walls when the sun is on the outside of the same area?

How old is the house?

Remove outlet plates on outside walls, and look for insulation outside the box.
