Unless you have been living with an attic that is fully insulated, chances are you are paying more than necessary for your energy bills. If your home is properly insulated, you will be able to lower your heating and cooling costs significantly. This will also help to increase your home’s value and make it a healthier place to live.

There are a few different types of attic insulation to choose from. Fiberglass batt insulation is a pre-cut panel of insulation made from recycled glass spun into fibers and offers good thermal protection. Spray foam insulation expands upon application, filling and sealing gaps and cracks effectively. It is ideal for attics with uneven joists.

What to Expect During Your Attic Insulation Installation with Energy Solutions

Another type of attic insulation is loose-fill cellulose, which is made from recycled newspaper and other paper products, wood chips, and other materials, and blows into place using a special machine. It is very effective for attics with irregular joists and tends to cost more than other forms of insulation.

Cellulose is one of the greenest forms of insulation and is non-toxic. However, it may contain asbestos, so be sure to consult a professional before installing this type of insulation in your home.

The best type of attic insulation for your home depends on your climate zone, local building codes, and other factors. It is also a good idea to get a home energy audit before implementing any attic insulation projects. You may be eligible for rebates through ENERGY STAR and your utility company, which can offset the costs of air sealing and insulating your attic.
