A home with a proper level of attic insulation is more energy-efficient than one without it. Adding insulation keeps heat inside during winter and cool air in during summer, reducing HVAC workload and energy costs, and improves comfort throughout the house. It also helps prevent mold, pests and other damaging conditions.

Choosing the right type of Insulation Contractor depends on your priorities and budget. There are 4 different types of attic insulation that you can choose from:

Fiberglass batts are the most popular attic insulation option. Made from tiny slivers of recycled glass and sand, fiberglass is inexpensive, non-flammable, and resistant to moisture damage. It offers a decent R-value and has an average lifespan of 20 years.

Loose-fill cellulose is another attic insulation option that is commonly used by DIYers. Made from paper products like old newspapers and cardboard, cellulose is treated with chemicals to make it fire-resistant. It is blown in place using machines designed for this purpose, making it ideal for filling in all the little nooks and crannies in an attic space. Cellulose has a higher R-value per inch than fiberglass and is environmentally friendly.

Spray foam is a top-tier insulation option that has excellent R-value, seals gaps and acts as an air barrier. It can be applied to walls, floors and crawl spaces, as well as attics. It has a high R-value, provides air resistance and is highly durable, lasting for decades.

Having a professional install your attic insulation is a smart choice. They will do a thorough inspection to find any areas of leakage, moisture or structural damage that need repair before the insulation installation process begins. They will also clear away debris and ensure that attic ventilation is properly installed (soffit vents, ridge vents, etc.) to prevent future problems and to maximize the effectiveness of your new attic insulation.

A professional insulation contractor is a specialized contractor who installs thermal insulation. They can be specialized in the type of insulation they use, such as fiberglass or spray foam, or they can be specialized in the types of buildings they work on – residential, commercial, or industrial. They coordinate with heating, plumbing, and mechanical construction workers to install materials that maintain temperatures in ducts, pipes, structures, and systems. They also advise homeowners and builders about energy efficiency and can suggest materials that may qualify for federal rebates.

A reputable contractor will be licensed, bonded, and insured. Licensing requirements vary by state, but they usually involve passing an exam and maintaining certain professional standards. You can check a contractor’s license number online or through your state’s licensing board. They should also provide a warranty on their work.
