Attic insulation is one of the most effective ways to reduce energy costs, while also improving home comfort. High-quality attic insulation keeps heat inside during the winter and outside during the summer, lowering air conditioning costs and making homes more comfortable year round. It also helps extend the lifespan of HVAC appliances. Energy-efficient features are a major draw for potential buyers, so a well-insulated attic can increase the resale value of a home.

When choosing attic insulation, be sure to choose an R-value that matches your region’s climate and building codes. R-Value is a measurement of how much resistance the insulation provides to heat traveling through it. The higher the R-Value, the better the thermal performance.

The most popular types of attic insulation are fiberglass batts and cellulose blow-in. Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper and does a great job filling in nooks and crannies that other types of insulation can miss. However, it does absorb moisture and can settle over time, causing the attic ceiling to crack and sag. Fiberglass is cheaper but doesn’t provide the same R-Value as cellulose and can cause allergic reactions in some people.

The Benefits of Professional Attic Insulation Installation

To ensure a safe and efficient installation, a professional insulation contractor will wear personal protective gear to avoid irritation during the project. This will include clothing that covers the entire body, goggles, and a face mask. Depending on the type of insulation, they may also wear a respirator to avoid inhaling fumes or dust. Before beginning any project, they will measure the attic space to ensure the correct amount of insulation is ordered.
