Home insulation is often an overlooked space in the home. For many homeowners, it’s out of sight and out of mind until something goes wrong, such as a leak in the ceiling or rodent infestation. But attic insulation is key to keeping the rest of the house comfortable year-round. It reduces the cost of heating and cooling and makes your house more energy efficient by stabilizing indoor temperatures.

It also protects your roof decking and fascia from the conditioned air in the house and keeps moisture from penetrating the attic. It’s important to remember that if you’re planning on upgrading your attic insulation, you should always work with a professional contractor. There are many safety precautions that professionals take during installation that most DIYers can’t or won’t know to take.

Depending on where you live, the recommended R-value of attic insulation can vary. This is determined by your climate and the ENERGY STAR website has a map that can help you find the right R-value for your home.

There are several types of attic insulation, but blown cellulose is one of the best options. It comes in small chunks that are blown into the attic using a special machine. This type of insulation is known for filling in all the gaps and cracks in an attic, making it a perfect choice for older homes that might have poor or missing attic insulation. It’s also fireproof, odorless and made from recycled materials.
