Attic Insulation Services
Attic insulation is one of the most integral components of home energy efficiency. While installing energy-efficient heating and cooling equipment is important, if your home’s insulation does not hold in heated and cooled air, a lot of energy is still lost. Because heating and cooling account for more than half of your total energy budget, adequate attic insulation can have a significant effect on your energy bill.
The Importance Of Insulation
Your home’s insulation is a key determinant of how much heated and cooled air it will retain. Insulation is designed to resist heat, which is attracted to cooler regardless of the season. Here’s what happens:
During the summer months, insulation prevents outside heat from entering your home, keeping your cooling load at a minimum and decreasing the duration and intensity of your air conditioner’s operation. During winter, insulation holds your home’s heat in, reducing your heating load and energy expenditures.
Attic Insulation
Attic insulation is a key component of whole-home energy efficiency. This is because your attic is easily accessible, and upgrading attic insulation can significantly decrease energy usage.
Upgrading your attic insulation offers three significant benefits:
- Improved energy efficiency and decreased heating and cooling bills
- Increasing your home comfort
- Increasing your home’s value and appeal to potential buyers
Selecting The Right Insulation – R-values
It is critical to select the right kind of insulation for your attic. Energy Star, a government program for improved energy efficiency, recommends a minimum value of R-50 for Ontario. This number reflects the insulation necessary for an uninsulated attic.
Types of Insulation
Because most attics are generally open spaces, several types of insulation are ideal for attics:
- Batts and rolls are ideal for larger spaces, such as those between joists or rafters
- Loose-fill insulation is best for hard-to-reach or irregularly shaped areas, as it can be blown into these areas, and easily adheres
