Quick Attic Insulation Fixes
About Quick Attic Insulation Fixes
Insulation is one of the quickest and most cost-effective ways to reduce home energy waste. Whether your current insulation isn’t enough or it’s damaged, installing more can help you save money and keep your house comfortable all year round. ENERGY STAR can help you find incentives and rebates in your area to offset the costs of attic sealing and insulation.
The Foam Depot Insulation Company can lead to higher heating and cooling bills. This is because heat and air are escaping from the attic through cracks, holes, and other leaks. Check for signs of moisture in your attic, such as stains or mold. If you have water leaking in your attic, it’s important to address this immediately because it can damage the insulation and increase your bills.
Blown fiberglass and cellulose insulation settles and moves over time, reducing its R-value and opening areas that allow air to pass through. To make sure your attic is fully insulated, you’ll want to inspect the level of settling and add more insulation as needed.
Quick Attic Insulation Fixes Every Homeowner Can Do
Unfinished attics are a prime spot for mice, bats, squirrels, rats, and other pests to nest and take up residence. In addition to making your attic more uncomfortable, these pests can ruin insulation by gnawing or chewing it. To prevent infestations, you’ll want to cover all lighting fixtures with metal flashing or hardware cloth and plywood, building in a 3-inch safety gap. Also, it’s important to wear protective gear when working in the attic, such as long pants and a dust mask or respirator.
