Adding insulation to your attic helps lower your energy costs by reducing the amount of heat that escapes your home in the summer and is lost to the outside in the winter. In fact, a properly air-sealed and insulated attic can save you between 15-50% on your heating and cooling costs.

Besides helping with energy efficiency, attic insulation does several other things:

Prevents gradual damage to your home by slowing the transfer of heat and moisture, which can cause the shingles on your roof to deteriorate and the plywood on your ceiling to soften. Reduces noise by absorbing and diffusing sound. Prevents moisture from collecting in your attic, which can lead to the formation of mold and mildew that can negatively affect indoor air quality.

Proper attic insulation in Modesto, CA can prevent up to 50% of your home’s heat loss directly through the roof, especially in cold climates. In addition to lowering your energy costs, attic insulation can help protect your home’s shingles from damage and prevent ice dams from forming in the winter when melting snow refreezes on the roof’s edge.

There are a variety of insulation options available, but spray foam is the best option for homes with limited attic space or for do-it-yourselfers who are comfortable crawling around in their attics. This product is a high-performance insulator that expands to fill gaps and nooks. Consult with a professional insulation contractor to determine which insulation type is right for your home. ENERGY STAR rebates are also available for attic sealing and insulation projects in many areas across the country.
