Attic insulation is a silent hero, working behind the scenes to keep your home comfortable and energy-efficient year round. Its power is most evident in lower monthly energy bills. However, it also reduces your home’s carbon footprint and makes a contribution to the global climate change effort.

Insulating your insulation company provides a barrier between the harsh weather conditions outside and the cozy inside of your house. This prevents hot air from escaping in the summer and cold air from entering in the winter, ensuring consistent indoor temperatures. This relieves the workload on heating and cooling systems, resulting in reduced energy consumption that translates into substantial monetary savings.

Types of Attic Insulation

The most common and cost-effective attic insulation is fiberglass batts or blankets. It’s available in different thicknesses and widths, and can be found with or without a paper facing. It works best for attics that have standard joist spacing, few obstacles to work around and enough headroom for installation.

Another popular choice is blown-in insulation, also known as loose fill. This product is a combination of fiberglass and natural materials like wool or mineral fibers. It’s installed by using a machine that blows it in place to the desired depth and density. It has an excellent R-value, works well for most attic spaces and is easily reinstalled when necessary.

Spray foam and blown-in insulation are both highly effective attic insulation options, but require professional installation. An expert can assess your attic space, recommend the proper R-value, and ensure that the material is installed correctly. Professionals also know how to identify and repair air leaks and other problems that can impact the efficiency of your home.
