When it comes to boosting your home’s energy efficiency, blown-in insulation is an often-overlooked asset. It prevents temperature fluctuations that can cause uncomfortable rooms from chilly in winter and hot in summer, making for a more consistent indoor environment. And, it reduces heating and cooling costs, helping you save money year-round.

The key to effective attic insulation is sufficient thickness. A recommended R-value based on climate and local building codes is a good place to start, but it’s important to consult insulation experts to determine the optimal thickness for your home.

Attic Insulation and Mold Prevention – TCS Solutions

Proper attic insulation limits the amount of air that leaks into your house. This helps your furnace work less to heat your home in winter and minimizes the need for your AC system to cool your house in summer. It also keeps your pipes warmer in winter, making it less likely that they will freeze and burst.

Attic insulation is available in many different types, with each type offering specific benefits. Fiberglass is a popular DIY option because it comes in blankets and sheets that can be easily affixed to unfinished attic space. Cellulose is made from recycled paper and treated for fire resistance; it’s blown into attics using special equipment to fill in cracks and crevices. Spray foam insulation is the most expensive option, but it has the highest R-value, offers air sealing properties, and fills gaps and cracks better than other types. It’s also a great choice for soundproofing.
