In the winter, heat escapes from heated living spaces into unheated attics and other uninsulated areas, and in the summer heat from outside flows into the home. With the right attic insulation, you can cut energy costs significantly and maintain a comfortable indoor temperature all year round.

Proper spray foam insulation also reduces drafts and uneven temperatures from room to room. It’s a great way to keep your home warm and cozy in winter, cool and comfortable in summer, and it protects your home from moisture damage.

Most homes have some sort of attic insulation, but it may be insufficient or outdated. Adding or upgrading your attic insulation is one of the best energy-saving techniques for any home or apartment.

Upgrade Attic Ventilation System

If you already have insulation in your attic, make sure that it’s the right type and adequate depth for the climate zone where you live. Determine the R-value of your existing insulation by reading the brown paper on the back or looking at the wall studs for a tag that specifies the insulation thickness (or R-value).

If you’re installing new insulation, it’s important to prepare the attic area properly. Begin by removing any objects or debris that may obstruct the installation. Then, seal any air leaks from around plumbing vents and electrical wires, using caulk or fire-rated foam. When you’re ready to install insulation, choose a blanket or loose-fill insulation with an R-value that corresponds to your climate zone. When installing, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to achieve an airtight seal.
