Spray foam insulation is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to improve your home’s energy efficiency. It also offers comfort benefits and can extend the life of your heating and cooling systems. Proper attic insulation also helps reduce air leaks, which can waste energy and make your home less comfortable. ENERGY STAR offers many incentives to help you pay for attic sealing and insulation projects.

Different types of insulation are available, including fiberglass, mineral wool, cellulose, and rockwool. Each type has its pros and cons.

However, you must take care to avoid covering existing insulation, as this can cause a loss of R-value and reduce its effectiveness. It is also important not to cover attic vents and recessed lighting, as this can restrict airflow and create fire hazards.

Blown-in insulation, or loose-fill insulation, is a more complex installation process. It involves taking bags of loose materials (fiberglass, cellulose, or rockwool) and blowing them into the attic space using a special machine. It provides comprehensive coverage, and is very effective at reducing noise transmission. However, it can settle over time, reducing its R-value, and can absorb moisture, which can lead to mold or mildew.

Rigid foam insulation comes in panels made of polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, or polyurethane and is installed between the attic’s structural components. It is very effective at reducing energy leaks, and can be used for walls and roofs as well as attics. However, it is expensive and can’t be removed if you need to access mechanical equipment in the attic.
