Attic insulation isn’t just a home improvement project—it’s an investment in energy efficiency, comfort and protection against moisture and pests. It also reduces your carbon footprint, saving you money on heating and cooling bills month after month.

With attic insulation , you can save 15% to 50% on energy costs. An insulated attic prevents air from escaping during winter and keeping hot air in during summer, reducing the workload for your heating and cooling systems. Depending on the climate of your area, a professional can help you choose the appropriate R-Value for your home.

There are several types of attic insulation, ranging from fiberglass batts to spray foam. The choice depends on your climate zone, your budget and whether you want to DIY or hire a pro.

Fiberglass batts are pre-cut panels of glass fibers. They are affordable and easy to install, but can be prone to moisture build-up. If they become wet, it can take a long time for them to dry, which means they lose their insulating ability. In addition, if they are exposed to sunlight, they can breed mold.

It arrives at your job site already carbon-negative, making it the most sustainable attic insulation option.
