Attic Insulation Service

Why Is Attic Insulation Important?

Attics are easy to forget about, but they play an important role in the efficiency and comfort of your home. Since heat rises, you can lose a significant amount of thermal energy through the upper levels of your home – especially in the winter. Adding insulation to your attic is an excellent way to reduce your energy bills and start weatherproofing once temperatures drop. And, in the summer, the insulation will work to keep all of your air-conditioned comfort indoors.

What Is an R-Value?

The R-value is a rating that indicates how well the insulation will prevent heat from entering or leaving your space. These values are calculated using the thickness, density, and material type of your insulation. Higher R-values tend to correlate to products that excel in temperature regulation, energy efficiency, and climate control. Whenever you are shopping for insulation products, be sure to take a look at the R-value.
