Upgrading your attic insulation is one of the best home improvements you can make to reduce energy costs. However, the cost can be high. A properly insulated attic combined with attic air sealing yields maximum savings. Consult with a local professional to evaluate your options, climate zone and goals.

Joe Blow’s Insulation can install blanket, loose-fill, blown, or rigid foam insulation. Rigid foam insulation is installed in panels or boards made of polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, and polyurethane and are cut to fit the attic. This type of insulation has a high R-Value per inch, is long lasting and resistant to compression. However, it is expensive and can require demolition of existing attic components to ensure a tight seal. It also emits off-gasses during and after installation and requires adequate ventilation.

Blanket, blown or loose-fill insulation is available in fiberglass, natural materials like wool and mineral fibers, and even recycled cotton and paper. This is a popular DIY option because it’s inexpensive and relatively easy to apply, but beware of safety hazards! You must wear protective equipment when working in an unfinished attic or crawl space – goggles, coveralls, a respirator, and head-light are essential.

Reflective or radiant barrier insulation uses a reflective coating of aluminum foil or metalized film on a substrate of kraft paper or plastic. It’s a good choice for hot climates, as it reduces cooling costs by reflecting heat into the living spaces and helping to maintain stable indoor temperatures. However, it’s less effective in humid climates and must be used in conjunction with other insulation types.
