Energy Solutions is a simple, cost-effective way to improve energy efficiency and comfort in your home. Most homes are under-insulated, which costs you money and results in an uncomfortable home environment. Adding attic insulation can lower air conditioning costs in summer and prevent heat loss in winter, cutting your energy bills significantly.
The best type of attic insulation for your home depends on factors such as climate, age, and the size of your attic. The recommended R-value varies by region, so consulting an expert is the best way to determine which kind of insulation you need.
Blanket Insulation (Batts and Rolls)
Often made from fiberglass, cotton, mineral wool, or plastic fibers, blanket insulation comes in pre-cut sheets known as “batts” or rolls. These are a popular DIY option because they’re inexpensive and easy to install. However, they are less effective than other types of attic insulation.
Loose-Fill Insulation (Blown-In)
With loose-fill insulation, bags of cellulose, fiberglass, or rock wool are blown into place with a machine. It works best for attics with varying joist spacing and other obstacles, as it fills gaps and crevices effectively. However, it’s important to hire a professional for this project due to the safety precautions that must be taken and its higher installation cost.
