Attic insulation is a smart investment that can significantly reduce energy bills and make your home more comfortable. It can also boost your ENERGY STAR score and qualify you for available rebates. Before you install new insulation, inspect your attic to ensure it meets Department of Energy guidelines for your climate. Check for leaks, mold and pest infestation. Also, take a look at the condition of your existing insulation and its R-value.

The benefits of attic insulation include lower energy bills, a more consistent temperature in your living space and soundproofing. Whether you live in Las Vegas, where winters can be cold and summers hot, or Indianapolis, where temperatures are more moderate, proper attic insulation will save you money year-round.

You can choose between several types of insulation:

Fiberglass batt insulation, which is typically found in older homes, is composed of tiny glass strands. It can be a health hazard if it is not handled properly, so installers should wear gloves and a mask. It doesn’t do well in wet conditions, either, and moisture can cause it to lose its R-value.

Blown-in cellulose is another popular option, which involves blowing small particles of cellulose (or a mix of fiberglass and mineral wool) into your attic. It is usually more expensive than fiberglass batts, but it offers a high R-value per inch. It is a good choice for attics with a low pitch, and it’s especially effective in areas with a steep roof, where there are many gaps.
