The attic is where you can make a significant impact on the overall energy efficiency of your home. Adding insulation to your attic can dramatically reduce the amount of money you spend on heating and cooling your home. Attic insulation also plays an important role in helping to prevent dangerous ice dams in the winter.
The type of insulation you choose depends on a number of factors. The climate where you live, the R-value recommended for your area and whether you need to remove old insulation all influence your decision. The cost of attic insulation can vary as well. Some types of insulation are less expensive than others to install, while other types require special equipment and skill, making them more costly.
316 Insulation of Tacoma: Attic Insulation for Year-Round Comfort
There are several different types of attic insulation, including fiberglass batts and rolls, mineral wool and cellulose. The best option for your home will depend on your budget and comfort level. Fiberglass and mineral wool are easy to install and are typically more affordable than other types of insulation. If you feel comfortable crawling around in your attic and are willing to work with a manual insulation blower, you can save even more by doing the job yourself.
If you’re not comfortable working with manual tools or need a higher R-value, you may need to hire a professional installer. A professional will be able to advise you on the type of insulation that would be most beneficial for your house. They will also be able to help you determine if you qualify for a rebate through your utility company or the ENERGY STAR program.
