Attic insulation helps save you money on home cooling costs on hot summer days and helps keep your home a comfortable temperature year-round! Here are a few things homeowners should keep in mind before insulating their attic.
Before You Insulate Your Attic:
- Determine Your R-Value – The type of attic insulation you need depends on the type of climate you live in. For homes up here in the North East, we need to aim for a minimum R-Value of 38.
- Know How Much to Buy – Measure your attic’s square footage to determine the amount of loose fill insulation you will need to cover your attic. Of course, our professionals can help make this process simple for you.
- Protect Access Spots – Add weatherstripping around the perimeter of the attic hatch and door. This will help better insulate the entrance to your attic.
