If you don’t have enough attic insulation, your home’s air conditioning and heating systems have to work harder, which causes them to wear out faster. Low attic insulation levels also make it easy for cold air to enter during the winter and hot air to escape during the summer, increasing energy costs.
To maximize the efficiency of your HVAC system and save on utility bills, you need to insulate your attic with a material that matches the R-value recommended for your climate zone and local building codes. You can choose from many types of Insulation Contractor, including blankets, boards, and materials that can be poured or blown in place. But remember that the maximum R-value a product offers depends on its proper installation.
Improve Air Quality with Attic Spray Foam Insulation
Batt or blanket insulation is easy to install and can help achieve the required R-value for your attic, depending on the thickness you require. The best choices are fiberglass or cellulose (recycled paper products) insulation. Fiberglass batts are the easiest to work with, and they can be purchased for as little as 50 cents per square foot. If you want to add cellulose insulation, opt for wet-spray cellulose. This type uses less moisture and is treated with boric acid, helping to keep rodents away.
Blown-in or loose-fill insulation uses a blowing machine to spray small particles of cellulose, fiberglass, or mineral wool into your attic space, filling gaps and covering surfaces evenly. Its comprehensive coverage makes it ideal for existing attics, and it is more cost-effective than other insulation types. However, it can settle over time, reducing its R-value. It can also absorb moisture, which can cause mold and mildew problems.
