Insulation is a practical and cost-effective way to reduce energy bills while improving indoor comfort. It serves to redistribute the air within your home, so you don’t have to crank up the AC during sweltering summer months and overuse your furnace in the chilly winter. Insulation also prevents hot and cold air from transferring between living areas and the attic.
With proper attic insulation contractor, you can save up to 15% on heating and cooling costs over the course of a year. This can make a substantial impact on your monthly energy bills and helps to protect your home from the damage that occurs with improperly insulated attics.

A professional will start by inspecting your attic space to see how much insulation is currently in place, if any. Then they’ll remove any insulation that is old, damaged or contaminated with rodent droppings, sludge or pests. They’ll also check for active knob and tube wiring, which needs to be removed by a licensed electrician before insulating and air sealing the attic space.
When the time comes to begin installing attic insulation, professionals will diligently follow the manufacturer’s instructions. It’s important that they do this because the specifics of installation vary between different types of insulation.
One popular option for attic insulation is cellulose, which consists of recycled newspaper. It is typically installed in attic spaces in loose-fill sheets or rolls and is blown into the attic using a machine. This type of insulation can be DIY-friendly if you have the time and a vehicle to haul in the supplies.
