The attic is one of the largest opportunities to save energy in your home. Proper attic insulation, combined with attic air sealing and roof repair, reduces energy bills significantly. It also helps prevent the formation of dangerous ice dams in winter.
During the summer, proper insulation keeps heat from entering living spaces, decreasing AC cycle times and cost. In the winter, it prevents heat loss, lowering heating costs and improving indoor comfort.
Georgia Insulation Atlanta: Experts in Energy-Efficient Attics
There are several types of attic insulation, and the best choice depends on your individual situation and your budget. The insulation type and R-value (a measure of how much it stops heat from transferring through the material per inch) you choose will impact your home’s energy efficiency, comfort, and longevity of HVAC equipment.
Fiberglass batt insulation in Atlanta, GA—sometimes called blanket insulation—comes in pre-cut panels made of tiny glass fibers that can be blown in or installed as a roll. It is inexpensive, but has a relatively low R-value and doesn’t provide as good a thermal barrier.
Blown-in insulation is fiberglass, rock wool, or cellulose that is applied in shreds, granules, or nodules and blown into attics and other hard-to-reach areas of the home. It has a higher R-value than roll insulation and is more effective against moisture and pests.
Spray foam insulation is a cost-effective option that expands upon application, filling gaps and sealing cracks effectively. It has a high R-value and offers exceptional thermal protection, as well as acting as a fire retardant and insect deterrent.
