When properly installed, spray foam insulation can reduce heating and cooling costs by keeping conditioned air inside during the winter and outside in the summer. In addition to reducing your energy bills, insulation provides other benefits that can increase your comfort level at home.

Attic Insulation

The EPA estimates that properly insulated attics can lower home energy costs by up to 40 percent. In many homes, poorly insulated attics are one of the major causes of high energy bills. Insulation creates a barrier that prevents air from circulating, preventing hot or cold spots and ensuring a more consistent temperature throughout the house. The type of insulation used and its R-value are important factors to consider when determining the best attic insulation for your home.

Insulation can be installed in the attic of most homes, regardless of age or size. However, it’s always best to consult with a professional when considering any insulation project, especially when replacing existing insulation. Before starting, check the condition of the existing insulation for mold, water damage, compression and gaps which can affect its effectiveness.

Once you’ve inspected the attic and determined its R-value, you can begin planning your insulation installation. First, clear away any boxes, doo-dads and other clutter that have taken up attic space. This will help ensure a smooth installation process and allow the new insulation to reach its full potential.

Loose-fill and blown-in insulation are two of the most popular options for attic insulation. This type of insulation involves blowing loose material (cellulose, fiberglass or mineral wool) into the attic using special equipment, ensuring that it covers every inch of the space. This type of insulation offers a high R-value, is moisture resistant and offers a tight seal for air leaks.
