Ensuring that your home is not only comfortable but also energy-efficient is largely a matter of properly insulating the attic. Every house is different and presents its own set of insulation challenges and requirements. That's why we offer customized attic insulation solutions that are designed to meet your specific needs. Our expert team does a deep dive into assessing your attic's ideal insulation type, thickness, and installation method. We consider everything from your home's age and architecture to its climate zone and any existing insulation. And by doing so, we save you not only money but time and grief in finding a workable insulation solution that fits your unique situation.
We offer a wide variety of materials and techniques for insulating your attic. Our go-to option is traditional fiberglass batts, which have long been the most prevalent insulation across the country. But if your home's attic has an unusual shape or if you'd just like a more modern look to its insulation, we can cover those 5,000 square feet with foam board or spray foam insulation. For you tree-huggers out there, we have cellulose insulation made from recycled paper. Our technicians can fine-tune either of those options so that they're practically airtight. And they guarantee that no worrisome stuff will be growing inside any of those materials.
There are several upsides to investing in customized attic insulation, of which temperature control is only one. Attics that are properly insulated can save homeowners money—lots of it. The U.S. Department of Energy states that heat rises and that "if your attic is not properly insulated, you could be leaking warm air in the winter and cool air in the summer." Up to 50% of the air your heating and cooling systems push into your house can escape through an underinsulated attic. Air leaks also make the temperature upstairs in your home very different from the temperature downstairs. And that's a real problem if you live in a house that has multiple stories. A well-insulated attic can help ensure that your entire upstairs and downstairs are at least pretty close to the same temperature.
