Attic Insulation

Why Attic Insulation is important?
Why you need to replace old Insulation?
Proper insulation helps maintain a consistent temperature indoors, reducing the need for heating and cooling, thereby lowering energy bills.
Investing in quality insulation can lead to significant long-term savings as it enhances the energy efficiency of your home, requiring less frequent heating and cooling maintenance.
Well-insulated homes are more attractive to buyers due to lower energy costs and enhanced comfort, potentially increasing the resale value of your property.
By reducing energy consumption, proper insulation contributes to lower carbon emissions and less strain on natural resources, promoting a more sustainable lifestyle.
Proper insulation is vital when it comes to having a healthy comfortable home. Apart from keeping your energy bills low, they prevent mould growth and also keep out unwanted noise. We recommend R-Values of 60 in the attic for maximum savings and comfort. Proper insulation in attics helps prevent warm air from escaping through celling and forming moisture. When warm air hits a cold surface in your attic, condensation occurs causing frost or water damage, that results in the growth of mould and mildew, which is a health hazard and damages your attic. Well-insulated attics help keep the indoor temperature in balance and prevent moisture buildup, better sound-proofing and better air quality inside your home. According to statistics, the adequately insulated home can reduce heating and cooling costs between 20% – 50%.
Proper insulation will also help extend the life of your furnaces and air conditioners. Since your home’s heating and cooling is reduced by appropriate attic insulation, your HVAC will run fewer hours to maintain comfortable temperatures, incurring less wear and tear.
If snow on your roof is forming ice dams even during freezing winter months, then it can indicate that there is a problem with insulation in your roof space. Ice dams are icicles that are normally formed when the snow melts and runs down your roof, freezing close to the edge. This happens when the hot air escapes into your attic and warms your roof above 0 degrees causing the snow to melt, however, the edge of the roof remains below the freezing mark. Adding more insulation to your attic floor (R-60) will help keep the temperature and air flow even and preventing the formation of ice dams.
