Attic Insulation for Energy Savings
A well-insulated attic significantly reduces your home’s energy consumption, leading to lower utility bills. It also helps to protect the environment and your budget by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and your need for fossil fuel heating and cooling systems.
Proper attic insulation is a relatively affordable home improvement project. According to Remodeler Magazine’s Cost vs Value report, homeowners can expect to recoup 117% of the initial investment when they install fiberglass attic insulation. This ROI is even higher when considering the ongoing energy savings from reduced heating and cooling costs.
Save Energy with Quality Attic Insulation
An attic with proper insulation will be able to keep the indoor temperature more consistent, lowering the strain on your HVAC system and prolonging its lifespan. It will also reduce outside noises from entering the living space, such as rainstorms or your neighbors’ dogs barking.
ENERGY STAR offers resources to help you measure and choose the right type of insulation for your home, including an ENERGY STAR Rebate Finder. Additionally, many local utilities offer rebates on air sealing and insulation projects.
Fiberglass insulation is one of the most popular options due to its affordability and fire resistance. It comes in pre-cut panels to fit between wall studs and attic joists or as blown-in insulation for hard-to-reach areas. Another good option is cellulose insulation, which can be made from up to 85% recycled paper fiber and treated with fire retardants for added safety. Spray foam insulation is a more expensive option, but it serves as both insulation and an effective air barrier, reducing drafts and improving in-home comfort.
