Attic Insulation Services

Yes! Especially if you live in an older home. Most older homes, ones built prior to the 1960s, have less or inadequate insulation compared to homes built after. Even adding more insulation to a newer home can save you money in the long run.

Call a qualified home energy assessor to perform an energy audit and identify the R-value and thickness of the existing insulation, including areas where adding more home insulation will improve energy efficiency.

While you could install the insulation yourself, doing so leaves your home open to costly mistakes and associated health risks if you’re not properly protected. Installing insulation yourself is also time-consuming.

A professional home insulation company has the equipment, training, and licensing to install the insulation correctly. They can also identify areas in the home that need insulation the most and make the appropriate recommendations.

If you seal the interior of your home too tightly or have too many layers of insulation, moisture can be trapped between the layers. When that happens, mold can develop, creating a health risk.

Insulation for an older home poses unique challenges, but two types of insulation best suited for an older home are foam insulation and loose-fill insulation. Expanding foam is great for insulating hard-to-reach areas and sealing air leaks. It’s easy to spray in and has a high R-value per inch. Loose-fill insulation is ideal for insulating existing walls and attics without having to tear them down. It’s also great for oddly shaped areas and is made from recyclable materials.
