If you live in a hot and/or cold climate, attic insulation is essential to maintaining a comfortable home. Poor attic insulation and air leaks cause your HVAC system to work harder, driving up energy costs and reducing the lifespan of your system. In addition, a well-insulated attic keeps your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, allowing you to set a consistent temperature throughout your house without wasting energy.

Attic Insulation Types: What Energy Solutions Recommends

Fiberglass batt insulation is a common choice because it is inexpensive and relatively easy to install yourself. It is a combination of tiny glass fibers and other materials that were once part of other products, such as sand and recycled paper. This insulation is available in a wide range of R-Values to fit your specific needs.

Loose-fill insulation is another popular option because it can be easily applied to attic spaces with a blower. This type of insulation is composed of small particles that are blown into your attic space, such as fiberglass, mineral wool and cellulose. This insulation is usually more affordable than other types of attic insulation, but it must be installed by a professional to prevent uneven coverage and structural issues like sagging ceilings.
