Insulating your blown-in insulation is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce your energy bills and enhance your home’s comfort. It’s also a great way to protect your indoor air quality (IAQ) from outdoor pollutants and moisture, and contribute to a healthier, more environmentally friendly household.

A well-insulated attic helps prevent heat loss in the winter and cool air leakage during summer, keeping your house at a comfortable temperature year round. This saves your heating and cooling systems from having to work overtime, reducing energy costs while improving home energy efficiency.

Unfortunately, many homeowners don’t have sufficient insulation in their attics. This is often due to older insulation settling or shifting over time, leaving gaps where outside air can enter and warm or cool air can escape. This can cause rooms to have different temperatures, leading to discomfort and high energy bills.

There are several types of attic insulation, including fiberglass batts, spray foam, and closed-cell foam. Each type has its pros and cons. Fiberglass batt insulation, made of fine glass fibers, is affordable and easy to install. However, it can be irritable to the skin and eyes, and requires gloves and a mask when handled. It also doesn’t do well in damp conditions, sabotaging its thermal performance.

Blown-in and spray foam insulation are more expensive and require professional installation. Closed-cell foam is more durable than other insulation options, offering a high R-Value per inch and providing strong support for attic structures. However, it is very toxic if touched or inhaled and needs to be installed by trained professionals due to chemical handling.
