Attic Insulation Energy Tips
The Stephenville, TX is an ideal place to insulate your home and help reduce your energy costs. Adding insulation to your attic can help keep the rest of your house comfortable, reducing your utility bills and helping you reduce greenhouse gas emissions. When properly installed, attic insulation can also increase your home’s value and make it easier to sell.
Insufficient attic insulation is often a hidden problem that goes unnoticed until a homeowner notices high energy bills, an overactive HVAC system or uncomfortable rooms. Ice dams forming on the roof in winter are another warning sign that the existing insulation in an attic is insufficient for your climate.
Before insulating your attic, it is important to clear out any stored boxes and clutter. This helps ensure that the insulation is effective and does not compress under heavy items. It is also important to air seal any leaks in the attic space and ductwork before installing insulation. In addition, it is essential to have sufficient ventilation in your attic to prevent moisture build-up and to allow hot air to escape.
Once the attic is cleared and sealed, you can choose from a variety of attic insulation products including loose fill or fiberglass batts. Before installing any material in your attic, it is a good idea to have your insulation tested for asbestos. Vermiculite is a common attic insulation that may contain asbestos. You can have your insulation tested at a lab approved by the state health department to determine whether it contains asbestos.
