Attic Insulation

Are you tired of your high-energy bills? Could your home be more energy efficient? In our opinion, insulation is one of the best ways to help maximize your home’s energy efficiency, and the attic is one of the best places to insulate!

Attics are one of the biggest culprits of heat loss – but not if you have the proper amount of insulation! Isbell Services can install a variety of types of insulation in your attic, including:

  • Fiberglass insulation
  • Spray foam insulation

  • Another method of insulating your attic is our loosefill insulation. Instead of laying batts or rolls, our AttiCat®Insulation Blowing Machine conditions the AttiCat® Expanding Blown-In PINK® Fiberglas Insulation by fluffing it along the length of the hose, adding millions of the tiny air pockets that give the material its insulating power. Because Fiberglasinsulation will not settle, it will maintain the same energy-saving level over time, keeping your home comfortable for years to come.

     

    Insulation is one of the unsung heroes of the home. It is never seen and rarely does one think about it. While often overlooked, insulation is essential to a comfortable and energy efficient home. However, not all insulations are made the same. There are a number of different materials such as fiberglass and cellulose as well as a number of different forms such as batting and blown in.

    The common denominator among varieties of insulation is the R-value. R-value is a measurement of thermal resistance and measures the ability of heat to transfer from one side of an object to another. As a benchmark, one inch of solid wood has an R-value of 1. In comparison, an inch of fiberglass insulation has an R-value of 3.14 and an inch of blown cellulose in an attic has an R-value of 3.21.




Benefits Of Attic Insulation

Though you may not go up in your attic a lot (it’s probably cluttered with old holiday decorations, clothes you don’t need and other miscellaneous things), it’s important to insulate it. In fact, failing to ensure you have the right amount of insulation in your attic can hinder your energy efficiency attempts.

There is no “right” type of insulation specifically for attics. That said, in our experience, certain types of insulation have distinct characteristics. Foam insulation, for instance, is superior at filling small cracks and holes and covering uneven spacing between floor joists and around wiring, piping and ductwork. Fiberglass insulation is very effective at stopping heat transfer into a colder area (heat leaking out of your warm house into the cold winter air!). And last but not least, cellulose insulation has similar qualities to fiberglass and is great for re-insulating all areas in your home, including the attic.

Insulating (or re-insulating) your attic can help:

  • Lower energy bills
  • Make your home a more comfortable space
  • Create a uniform temperature throughout your house
  • Reduce outside noises
  • Create a healthier environment inside your home
