Spray foam insulation, the hot air from your home’s living spaces will rise and cool air will sink to ground level. This creates a temperature gradient that can make your home uncomfortable all year round. Insulation provides a barrier to stop this air flow and prevent your heating system from running constantly, saving you money on energy costs.
The Department of Energy recommends an R-value of at least 30 for most homes, though colder climates may require higher R-Values. To ensure you have the proper insulation for your home, choose a contractor who is certified by manufacturers like Owens Corning as an Energy Expert. These contractors undergo periodical training and visit job sites to provide quality assurance that the insulation installation is done correctly.

In addition to reducing energy consumption, a properly insulated attic also helps your heating and cooling systems perform more efficiently. It reduces the workload on these systems, increasing their lifespan and lowering maintenance costs.
When choosing attic insulation, consider the types of materials available and their pros and cons. Cellulose and fiberglass are the most common insulation options. Fiberglass batt insulation is a good choice for many homeowners because it’s easy to install, relatively inexpensive, and is effective at reducing heat loss and moisture penetration. However, it’s important to note that fiberglass can be susceptible to mold and other health hazards.
