Insulation isn’t pretty to look at, but it does an important job: reducing energy waste and increasing your home comfort. Insulation keeps hot air out in the summer and cool air in the winter, preventing your HVAC systems from having to work harder than they should to keep up with your heating and cooling needs.

Spray foam insulation, which uses a blowing machine to spray loose particles of fiberglass, cellulose, or mineral wool into the attic, offers an easy installation option that provides comprehensive coverage. Fiberglass is by far the most common choice, available at most reputable home improvement stores and sold in pre-cut panels that fit between rafters and joists. It’s also affordable and has a relatively low environmental impact.

Cellulose insulation, which is made from recycled paper treated with fire retardants, has a higher R-value than fiberglass but can be more expensive to install. It may also settle over time, lowering its R-Value. Mineral wool is an alternative that can be more environmentally sustainable than cellulose and costs less to install.

A professional insulation expert can determine the best type and amount of attic insulation for your home. They’ll examine your attic space and clear away any debris, seal air leaks, and install proper ventilation to ensure that the new insulation performs optimally. They’ll also inspect wall cavities and knee walls for insulation, if needed. Having the right combination of attic and wall insulation is essential to saving the most on your energy bill.
