A properly insulated attic protects your home's structural integrity by preventing condensation build-up, deterring wood rot, and keeping pests away. This extends the lifespan of your property and reduces the need for costly repairs.

Comfortable Living Space

Professional insulation converts your attic into a comfortable living space. It regulates temperatures, reduces noise, and offers a cozy environment for living or working.

Health and Safety

Proper insulation eliminates dampness, helps prevent the development of mold and mildew, and enhances indoor air quality. This promotes a healthier living environment and the safety of your family.

Signs Your Attic or Crawl Space Needs Proper Insulation

01

Fluctuating Indoor Temperatures: Consistently fluctuating indoor temperatures indicate poor insulation. When it becomes difficult to maintain a consistent temperature, it's time to review the insulation situation.

02

High Energy Bills: A sudden spike in energy bills suggests your heating or cooling system is overworking, often a result of inadequate insulation in attics or crawl spaces.

03

Cold Floors and Walls: Cold yet dry floors and walls during winter are signs of under-insulated crawl spaces. Correct insulation would maintain a steady, comfortable temperature.

04

Pest Infestation: Rats, insects or other pests choosing to nest in your attic space can signify poor insulation, as such environments provide them with an ideal habitat.

Protect your home from heat loss with our attic and crawl space insulation, with options including cellulose, mineral wool, or fiberglass.

FAQs

  • Is attic insulation a worthwhile investment if I plan to sell my home soon?

    Absolutely, investing in proper attic insulation can significantly increase the value of your home. Potential homebuyers appreciate the benefits of a well-insulated home, including lower utility bills, improved comfort, and a healthier indoor environment. Moreover, an energy-efficient home stands out in real estate markets, creating a competitive advantage. A well-insulated attic demonstrates that the house has been well-maintained and cared for, boosting buyer confidence. 


    Also, in many regions, codes and regulations require homes to meet specific energy efficiency standards. An under-insulated home may struggle to meet these requirements, potentially hindering a sale. Therefore, even if you plan to sell your home soon, a well-insulated attic is a wise investment, increasing your property's attractiveness and market value.

  • Why is attic insulation so important?

    Attic insulation plays a crucial role in maintaining your home's comfort and energy efficiency. Heat naturally moves from warmer places to cooler areas, and without proper attic insulation, your home may lose a significant amount of heat during winters. This implies that your heating system would need to work harder to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, leading to increased energy consumption and costs. 


    Likewise, during summers, inadequate insulation would allow the entrance of excessive heat into your home, causing your cooling system to overwork. An appropriately insulated attic acts as a barrier, reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, thereby contributing to substantial energy savings. It also offers enhanced indoor air quality, regulated temperatures, and noise reduction, effectively turning your attic into a comfortable living space.

  • Can over-insulating my attic lead to problems?

    Yes, while it's essential to properly insulate your attic, there is indeed such a thing as over-insulation. Over-insulating does not necessarily mean that you use too much insulation material. Instead, it refers to scenarios where insulation has been improperly installed, thus restricting vital air movement. For instance, if insulation blocks the vents in the attic, it can lead to moisture buildup due to lack of appropriate ventilation. This dampness can consequently lead to mold growth, wood rot, or other structural damage over time. 


    Furthermore, it could lead to increased energy bills as HVAC systems overwork to mitigate temperature inconsistencies. Therefore, while considering attic insulation, not only is the insulation material important, but so is the correct installation.We ensure a balance between insulation and ventilation, maximizing energy efficiency while mitigating potential issues associated with over-insulation.
