Energy Solutions – Insulate Your Attic

Energy Solutions is a great way to reduce energy costs. It helps stabilize indoor temperatures year-round and can reduce the stress on heating and cooling systems, prolonging their life. It can also help eliminate the dramatic temperature differences between floors, often seen in older homes, by keeping conditioned air inside where it belongs.

The attic is a common starting point for insulation projects, since it’s relatively easy to access and the more common types of home insulation—fiberglass batts and cellulose blown-in insulation—can be installed from there. When working in your attic, it’s best to clear out any clutter and obstructions, like boxes or doo-dads, before beginning. This will allow professionals to install your new insulation quickly and effectively.

Attic Insulation: The First Step to a Greener Home

Another attic insulation option is blown-in cellulose, which can be more cost effective than other loose-fill insulation options and has the added benefit of being made from recycled materials. It’s installed using a blowing machine, similar to fiberglass batt insulation.

It’s important to consult with a professional installer to determine which attic insulation is right for your house. Factors that can influence the type of insulation you choose include where you live (climate zones have different R-value recommendations) and your attic’s ductwork, ventilation and structural integrity.

You may also be able to save on the cost of your attic sealing and insulation project by taking advantage of federal tax credits or utility rebates available in some states. Check out the ENERGY STAR Rebate Finder or ask your Home Upgrade Service Provider for details about incentives available in your area.
