Insulation helps to keep conditioned air inside your home and prevents outside air from entering during the summer or escaping during the winter. This reduces the workload on heating and cooling systems and can save you money on energy costs. It also improves indoor comfort by maintaining consistent temperatures and by soundproofing your home.

You have a few options when insulating your attic, including blanket insulation, blown-in fiberglass, or spray foam. The choice depends on the area you are insulating, your budget, and your desired level of home performance. Attic insulation consists of bags of loose material, usually cellulose or fiberglass, which are blown into your attic with a machine designed for this purpose. It is one of the most cost-effective options, but it can settle over time, potentially reducing its effectiveness.

For more advanced insulation projects, you can choose spray foam or panel insulation. Both types have high R-values, but spray foam offers a better air barrier and acts as a vapor barrier for added moisture protection. It is more expensive than other materials, but professionally installed spray foam can provide the best long-term savings and comfort.

It is important to correctly measure the size of your attic to ensure you get the proper amount of insulation. To calculate the square footage, measure the exterior perimeter of your home, and then subtract the area of any walls or other structures you don’t plan to insulate. Then, divide that number by 144 to determine the square footage of your attic.
