A well-insulated attic keeps conditioned air inside your home during the winter and reduces energy bills during the summer. It also helps keep the temperature of the living space more consistent throughout the year and may even help reduce outside noises.

If you have a ladder to access your attic and the time and energy to tackle this home improvement project, installing insulation rolls or batts is an easy DIY option. However, crawling around in a dusty attic isn’t for everyone and many homeowners prefer to hire an expert to complete the project.

Loose-fill insulation is made from bags of loose materials like cellulose, fiberglass, or rock wool that are blown into place with a special machine. The material is available in various R-values to meet your needs.

Attic insulation is a two-part liquid that expands to fill gaps and crevices, sealing leaks and providing a higher R-value per inch than most other insulation types. It’s often used to seal vents, doors, and openings near an attic ladder. It’s expensive and must be installed by professionals due to the chemicals involved in its creation.

If you’re building a new house, it’s important to ensure that the attic is properly insulated to avoid high energy bills. Check with a local contractor for experience-based suggestions on how much insulation to use and the type of insulation that’s best for your specific climate zone. Also, make sure that any existing knob and tube wiring isn’t covered during the insulation process; this can cause a fire hazard.
