Insulation is an essential element of a healthy home. Having sufficient insulation prevents temperature fluctuations that can make your home uncomfortable and unlivable, reduces moisture which can cause structural damage, and cuts energy costs. It also protects your home from pests and mold growth, improves air quality, and increases your home value.
When you add attic insulation, you create a barrier that keeps warm air out during the summer and cool air in during the winter. This makes your home more comfortable and reduces your energy bills, resulting in significant savings month after month and substantial long-term monetary savings.
Attic Insulation: A Smart Investment for Long-Term Savings
Properly installed attic insulation can help keep your HVAC system running efficiently. Your heating and cooling systems don’t have to work as hard when your attic is insulated, which also reduces energy use and carbon emissions.
You can choose from a variety of insulation products for your attic. The Department of Energy recommends an R-value between R-30 and R-60, depending on your climate. Rigid foam insulation, such as polystyrene and polyisocyanurate, is a sheet product that fits between attic joists and beams. It has a high R-value per inch but can be difficult to install and doesn’t resist moisture as well as other types of attic insulation.
Loose-fill or blown-in insulation is made from cellulose, mineral wool and fiberglass and is typically blown in with a machine that can be purchased or rented at some hardware stores. It has a high R-value but can be difficult to install properly and doesn’t resist moisture as well as the other types of attic insulation.
