A well-insulated attic insulation is an essential home improvement that limits energy loss and saves money. New insulation limits air flow through the attic and helps keep indoor temperatures consistent year-round. This allows your heating and cooling systems to work less, saving you significant monetary savings.
The Department of Energy recommends a minimum R-Value of about R-30. Higher R-Values increase insulation’s thermal performance. The right R-Value is dependent upon the climate in your region.
Most bedrooms are located on the upper floors of homes. Insufficient attic insulation can cause those rooms to be hot or cold during different parts of the day, causing discomfort and making it difficult to sleep comfortably. Insulation can help ensure these rooms stay temperate, especially during the winter.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Insulation in the attic keeps dirt, dust, and mold spores from spreading throughout your home, improving indoor air quality. It also prevents outdoor pollutants from entering through the attic and affecting your family’s health.
Added Value
Attic insulation increases the value of your home, which may make it easier to sell if you decide to move. In fact, studies show that a properly insulated attic is one of the few upgrades that can return 100% of its cost when it comes time to sell your home. The National Association of Realtors also suggests that a properly insulated attic can make your home more attractive to eco-conscious buyers. This is particularly true for homes that are located in regions with more extreme weather.
