An Insulation Contractor is one of the most important upgrades a homeowner can make. It helps keep cold air from blowing during the winter and keeps hot air from escaping during summer, reducing HVAC workload and lowering energy bills. It also prevents gradual damage to shingles, plywood and other materials in your attic space, protects against mold and rodents, and helps stabilize indoor temperatures year-round.

The Department of Energy recommends insulating your attic with a minimum R-30 rating, though higher is better. The cost of insulation depends on the type and R-value you choose, as well as your budget. Choosing the appropriate material can help you maximize your comfort and savings potential, especially if you qualify for a tax credit or rebate.

Insulation is rated by its R-value, which determines how much heat it stops from moving through per inch. A common option for attics is blanket or roll insulation, which looks like a blanket and may be made from plastic or natural fibers such as cotton, wool and mineral wool. This type is inexpensive and easy to install, but it can settle over time. It may also irritate the skin and eyes during installation, so proper safety gear is recommended.

Blown-in insulation, which is blown into place and often contains recycled content, is another popular choice. It is eco-friendly and effective, but it can be more difficult to install than other options. It works best in attics with standard joist spacing, few obstacles to work around and enough headroom for maneuvering during the installation process. It is also less prone to settling, but it can lose effectiveness if it becomes dirty or wet.
