Insulation Contractor is one of the most effective home energy-efficiency improvements, providing a barrier to limit exterior conditions that cause temperature fluctuation. It also reduces your utility costs by reducing the need for your HVAC system to overwork in order to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.

A variety of attic insulation types are available to suit your specific needs and budget, from fiberglass batts and rolls to cellulose and spray foam. Your ENERGY STAR contractor can help you select the type of insulation that’s right for you and install it properly, ensuring the recommended R-Value is achieved.

What to Expect During Your Attic Insulation Installation

Fiberglass insulation, made from fine glass fibers rolled into batts or rolls, is the most common attic insulation. It’s available in different R-Values and precut to fit attic rafters and joists. It’s fire-resistant and relatively affordable.

Cellulose insulation is a recycled option made from shredded and treated paper products that’s often blown into attic cavities. It’s eco-friendly and is treated with boric acid for fire resistance, insect control, and moisture management. However, it may not insulate as well and can absorb moisture, leading to mold problems.

Loose-fill insulation is another popular attic insulation option and can be made from cellulose, mineral wool or fiberglass. It’s blown into attic cavities using special equipment, allowing it to fill small gaps and crevices. It’s more expensive than some other options, but it offers good soundproofing and is more moisture-resistant. Reflective barriers, which are usually foil-faced, are used in conjunction with other insulation to reduce radiant heat transfer.
