Choosing an Attic Insulation Contractor

Insulation Contractor is one of the best ways to save energy in your home. It can help prevent hot and cold air from leaking into rooms that don’t need it, as well as slow down the flow of moisture into your home from attic leaks. When combined with attic air sealing, attic insulation can also reduce the formation of ice dams in the winter.

The Environmental Impact of Attic Insulation

Adding attic insulation isn’t as complicated as you might think. The most important factor is choosing the right contractor for the job. You should look for a contractor who has experience and is licensed. It’s also a good idea to choose a contractor with a worker’s compensation policy and liability insurance.

The type of attic insulation you choose will depend on your budget and energy needs. Fiberglass batts and blankets are the most popular, but you can also use loose fill, which requires a blowing machine that can be rented from most home improvement stores. Mineral wool (made from rock or slag) is another option. It’s fire resistant, but it is more expensive than other options.

If your attic is accessible and you enjoy tackling bigger home improvement projects, you can install attic insulation yourself. However, it’s generally easier for an experienced contractor to do the job and ensure that it is done correctly. In some cases, homeowners may be eligible for financial assistance to make improvements like attic insulation and air sealing through their utility company’s Weatherization Assistance Program.
