Everyone wants the living spaces in their home to be comfortable all year long, especially when they’re craving a cozy room in the winter. Unfortunately, many homes in the United States lack sufficient insulation, costing families money every year on their home heating bills. Without an insulation barrier, warm, temperature-controlled air can leak out of your house while cold winter air sneaks in. The colder your house feels, the more you have to turn up your thermostat, resulting in higher energy costs.

How do you know which type of insulation is right for your attic? This depends on how your attic is configured and used. An attic with exposed beams and joists that is only used for storage can benefit from blown-in fiberglass insulation. This type of insulation helps keep air flowing through your attic, so the area doesn’t feel stuffy. If you have a finished attic, you may prefer spray foam or dense foam strips that fit under flooring and behind drywall. Your contractor will be able to recommend the best product for your needs and budget.

While you’ll be happy just to have a warm, insulated attic during the cooler months, insulation offers benefits year round. Properly installed insulation reduces noise, prevents allergens from entering your attic, and offers structural benefits for your roof. When your attic is warm, your roof is less likely to develop ice dams in snowy weather.
