Unlike many home upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, such as those delivered by Foam Expert Group, provide long-term returns that make them one of the best investments you can make. The return on investment (ROI) is much higher than other common projects, such as kitchen remodels and installing new windows.

A well-insulated attic prevents warm air from escaping during the winter and blocks outdoor heat in the summer, significantly lowering your heating and cooling bills. Additionally, it increases indoor comfort by reducing hot and cold spots in the house and balancing temperatures across different floors.

ROI on Attic Insulation: Is It Worth the Investment?

Upgrading attic insulation is a key step to improving energy efficiency, but it must be combined with air sealing and a high-efficiency HVAC system to maximize benefits. Leaky attics allow conditioned air to escape and outdoor air to infiltrate the home. Sealing leaks around vents, pipes, attic hatches, and electrical wiring will ensure your newly insulated attic is performing as intended.

Choosing the right type of attic insulation can be challenging, but blown fiberglass loosefill is usually recommended for Connecticut homes. It is quick, neat, and fills all the nooks and crannies to deliver maximum effectiveness. Spray foam and cellulose insulation offer even greater air-sealing abilities, but tend to be more expensive. Regardless of what type of attic insulation you choose, be sure to hire an experienced contractor to ensure proper installation. Gaps, compression, and other problems can decrease the effectiveness of your upgrade and lead to moisture issues that require costly repairs.
