Insulation is important for every home. It helps to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and it can also save you money on energy bills. When buying a new home, there are regulations that require builders to use insulation materials that meet certain standards. However, when you live in an older home, you may not be sure whether it has adequate attic insulation or if it even needs more. If you’re thinking about adding attic insulation to your older home, here are a few things to consider. What to Consider If you’re considering adding more attic insulation to your older home, there are a few things you should consider: • The depth of the insulation: To get the best energy efficiency benefits from adding attic insulation, you want to make sure that it covers the whole depth of your attic. If you don’t have enough room for the desired depth, you may want to install a whole new roof with insulation or add an additional layer of insulation on top of what you already have. • Cost: The cost of insulating your attic depends on many factors including how much insulation is needed and what materials will be used during installation. While some people may choose to do this job themselves, most find it easier to hire our professionals who specializes in installing attic insulation. Our Insulation Products Adding attic insulation to your home can be a great way to save money on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
