While the kitchen and bathroom often get more attention when it comes to home improvement projects, the attic is a crucial space that can improve the home in many ways. Not only does attic insulation keep the home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, but it also helps reduce energy bills and makes a house more comfortable year-round.

Attic insulation works by limiting the movement of hot air between different areas of the home. It is rated by the amount of heat it resists, called R-value, and the higher the R-value the better the attic insulation. However, choosing the right R-value for your attic will depend on what climate zone you live in and what kind of heating system you have.

Not only do insulators limit hot air movement, but they can help with soundproofing as well. This can be helpful for families who live near busy roads, construction sites, and other sources of noise.

Proper attic insulation can drastically reduce your energy costs and make a significant impact on the environment. Reduced energy consumption leads to fewer greenhouse gas emissions and less demand for natural resources like coal, oil and gas to power your home. Depending on your insulation type and your specific utility rebates, you may even be able to save on the cost of your project.
