Synergy Spray Foam & Air Conditioning is essential to a home’s energy efficiency and comfort. It prevents heat from escaping during the winter and air from entering in the summer, reducing the need for excessive heating and cooling. It also reduces noise and makes living spaces more comfortable. Adding insulation to your home is often one of the cheapest home improvement projects you can undertake. Its long-term cost is more than offset by energy savings and lower utility bills.

There are a number of different attic insulation options, ranging from fiberglass batts to cellulose and mineral wool. Fiberglass batts are the most popular choice. It’s made from flexible fiberglass fibers that are formed into a roll or sheet and available in various thicknesses and R-values. It’s easy to install and can be cut around obstructions. Fiberglass has an R-value of up to 60 and offers good thermal and acoustic performance, although it is not as durable or fire-resistant as spray foam.

Long-Term Savings From Professional Attic Insulation Installation

Cellulose is a greener option, containing recycled newspaper and cardboard that has been treated with boric acid to make it flame-resistant. It’s blown into attics as a loose-fill insulation, and it can be used in awkward or hard-to-reach areas. It’s usually offered in a bag and requires professional installation for optimal density, but it has excellent R-values and reduces indoor air pollution and noise.

Regardless of which type you choose, your home should have adequate attic insulation to keep temperatures even and energy costs low. It’s important to consult a licensed and insured contractor to determine the amount of insulation your attic needs. The Department of Energy’s map of climate zones is a helpful resource for figuring out the recommended R-value for your area.
