The attic is often a place for storing holiday decorations and other household doo-dads. But this space can also be an effective source of energy savings, and it’s important to make sure the attic is properly insulated.

The Department of Energy recommends a minimum of R-38 insulation in attics in most homes. This type of insulation keeps heat in the winter and out in the summer, reducing cooling costs and making your home more comfortable year-round.

If your attic is insulated, it’s important to check the thickness of the existing insulation. A simple measurement of the depth of the insulation (using a tape measure or ruler) will help determine how much more insulation you need to reach the recommended level. You can also use a calculator to determine the R-value of your attic.

Spray foam insulation is another great option for attic insulation. This insulation is made from materials like cellulose, fiberglass, and mineral wool. It is installed with special equipment by blowing it into attic spaces to ensure that all areas are covered evenly. This type of attic insulation is also eco-friendly and resists moisture and pests.

Another great option for attic insulation is closed-cell spray foam. This type of attic insulation acts as an air barrier to prevent leaks and can be installed in difficult to reach spaces. Closed-cell foam also has a higher R-value than traditional cellulose or fiberglass insulation. This type of attic insulation is more expensive than other options and should be installed by a professional due to the chemical handling.
