Insulate Your Attic to Save on Energy Costs

Attic insulation is a basic prerequisite for controlling energy loss in your home. Most older homes have inadequate levels of attic insulation and many newer homes have only standard levels. If your home is more than 10 years old, it is almost certain that your attic insulation is inadequate.

Attic insulation keeps your home warm in winter and cool in the summer. As heat rises in your home it naturally moves to cooler areas and places where temperature differences are measurable. By insulating your attic spaces you provide resistance to heat flow ensuring that heated or cooled air remains in the interior and isn’t escaping through your ceiling and roof.

Inadequate insulation, gaps and leaks in your home cause your heating and cooling system to run longer and more often in order to maintain temperature in your home. As a result, your furnace or air conditioner will consume more energy, resulting in higher energy bills. Proper attic insulation saves you money year after year; over time helping to pay for itself in lower heating and cooling costs.

While you may be familiar with rolls of “batt” insulation, blown-in insulation is more effective at providing improved R-value. Blown-in insulation is ideal for older home because it can be blown into the attics and walls without damaging the home. We use either fiberglass or cellulose blown-in insulation.
