Benefits Of Insulating Your Attic

Up to 85% of a house’s energy is lost through the attic space. Older houses or buildings finished before the early 1970s tend to be especially inefficient, as it wasn’t until the energy crisis of the 70s that people started to recognize the importance of full insulation. Updating your insulation is essential to reducing energy and utility spending and making your home more environmentally friendly, and the first place you should target is your attic. The attic is the easiest place to add insulation in your home and it is often the fastest way to improve household comfort and the energy efficiency of your home.

Attic Insulation Cost On Long Island

Please call for a free cost analysis for your spray foam insulation project. The first step in attic insulation is determining how much insulation you will need. Your attic insulation should always be level to or at least above your floor joists. According to Energy Star, the most efficient homes should have insulation evenly distributed across your attic, including out to the eaves of your home. In the event you need more insulation, you’ll have to measure the current R-value of your insulation and then calculate how much more is needed. Your attic should be insulated to at least R-38, or approximately 10-14 inches thick of insulation.

Choosing what type of insulation your attic needs does not have to be complicated. Fiberglass insulation is often the most standard insulation material, which can be purchased and added in either pre-measured batts or blanket insulation. This is very easy to layer on top of pre-existing insulation, and the Department of Energy estimates that layering up your attic insulation can shave from ten to fifty percent off your heating bill, so it’s definitely worth the time. Other options include loose-fill insulation, which is blown into crevices or nooks, or spray foam, which is excellent for both tight spaces and large open cavities. Your attic insulation should be moisture and flame retardant to prevent mold, mildew, or combustibility, and the higher quality your insulation material, the longer it will last and the less you will have to spend on utilities and on eventual home repairs.
