A well-insulated home can save you a significant amount of money on heating and cooling costs. It can also reduce noise and create a more comfortable, healthy place to live. However, most homes are not properly insulated. A trained insulation contractor can assess the existing insulation and recommend any needed repairs, which will increase your home’s value and comfort.

Should Buyers Check Attic Insulation? A Key Step in Smart Home Shopping
An attic inspection can reveal a number of issues, including cracks, holes, and poor attic ventilation. These can allow for water and pests to enter the house, which can lead to mold, mildew, and other health problems. It’s a good idea to have these problems fixed before selling your home.
If the attic insulation is old and needs to be replaced, you can choose from a variety of materials. Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper and wood products, and it’s offered in a loose-fill format that can be easily applied around pipes and HVAC equipment. It’s typically treated with mineral borate to improve fire and pest resistance. It can have a lower R-value than fiberglass, and it tends to lose effectiveness over time due to settling.
Other insulation types include mineral wool and radiant barriers, which can be installed in a variety of places. They’re usually more expensive than other types of ENERGY STAR insulation, and they may require professional installation.
