Upgrade Your Attic Insulation
Over time, the insulation in your attic can degrade or you may find that it is not enough to regulate the temperature throughout your home. Upgrading your attic insulation is a great way to save money and make your home more comfortable. In fact, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), homeowners can save up to 15% on heating and cooling costs by sealing air leaks and adding attic insulation.
Energy Solutions attic insulation will provide an immediate impact on your energy bills and comfort, and it will pay for itself many times over as you reduce your energy consumption. However, upgrading your attic insulation requires careful planning and the work of a professional insulation contractor. Inexperienced DIYers can damage joists, rafters and other structural features, leaving you with a costly home repair.
To determine whether or not your attic is insulated enough, look across the span of your attic floor and see if you can see the floor joists clearly. If you can see them easily, then your attic needs more insulation. Most climate zones require up to R-60, and the type of insulation you choose will affect how much more you need to add.
A variety of insulation materials are available. The most common are fiberglass batts, which come in different thicknesses and R-values. Spray foam, which can be applied with a hose or a foam gun, is another option. If you choose spray foam, the current fiberglass or other insulation must be removed prior to installation.
