Blown Attic Insulation Upgrade
Increasing blown attic insulation to 15" or 19" offers a multitude of benefits for homeowners. A thicker layer of insulation provides superior thermal resistance, significantly reducing heat transfer between your home and the attic. This added insulation depth enhances the overall energy efficiency of your home, leading to lower heating and cooling costs. Additionally, the increased insulation helps maintain a more consistent indoor temperature, promoting year-round comfort. By reaching the recommended depths of 15" or 19", you create a formidable barrier against temperature extremes and minimize the strain on your HVAC system, contributing to long-term energy savings and a more comfortable living space.
In tandem with increasing blown attic insulation, implementing additional measures ensures optimal energy performance. Covering recessed lights with protective air sealing covers prevents conditioned air from escaping through gaps and allows insulation over non-IC (Insulation Contact) rated fixtures. Checking bathroom exhausts for proper duct installation ensures that moisture and air are appropriately vented, preventing potential issues like mold and mildew. Installing baffles in eaves promotes proper attic ventilation, preventing condensation and preserving the integrity of your insulation. Lastly, insulating and air sealing the attic pull-down staircase prevents heat loss through this often overlooked access point, ensuring that your efforts to improve energy efficiency are comprehensive and effective throughout your entire home.
