Insulation is the key to a home that is comfortable year-round. It stabilizes the temperature of your house and takes pressure off heating and air conditioning systems, lowering energy costs. It also protects your roof, prolonging its lifespan. With proper attic insulation and air sealing(an injectable foam that fills cracks and gaps to block airflow) your home can achieve the highest level of energy efficiency possible!

An often Clarksville, TN area, the attic is an important part of your home’s thermal envelope. Proper attic insulation reduces heat transfer to the living space, allowing your furnace and air conditioner to operate less, saving energy. It also redistributes heat, keeping the cold out in winter and preventing the hot summer air from entering your home.

How Attic Insulation from Energy Solutions Lowers Your Energy Bills

There are many forms of attic insulation, and each has its own benefits. Fiberglass batt insulation is common and inexpensive, utilizing fiberglass or mineral wool in blanket form that can be cut to size and installed on the attic floor. It works well in attics with standard joist spacing, few obstructions and sufficient headroom.

Blown-in insulation (also called loose-fill) is made from small particles of fiberglass, cellulose or other materials that are blown in place with a machine. It is more comprehensive than batt insulation, covering all areas of the attic evenly and is effective in reducing sound transmission. It does, however, tend to settle over time, reducing its R-value. It is also susceptible to moisture absorption, particularly if it is made of cellulose.
