Ductwork and Insulation
Having the right amount of insulation in your attic can make your the U.S. home more comfortable throughout the seasons. Increased energy efficiency could also help you save money on heating and cooling bills.
You can measure existing insulation to determine if you have enough in your attic. If it鈥檚 less than 7鈥 deep, your the U.S. home is underinsulated. Depending on where you live, between 13-14″ of insulation to as much as as 16-18″ of insulation will be what鈥檚 recommended. In addition, if your home is older than 10 years, you鈥檒l most likely need more attic insulation in your the U.S. home.
Strengthening your insulation levels could positively impact your energy bills, saving you up to 20 percent.** It can provide a vapor barrier against humidity, minimize air leaks, and may limit wear and tear on your HVAC system.
**Savings may vary.
There are three types of attic insulation鈥攕pray foam, loose fill and batt.
Spray foam insulation mixes liquids that expand into a foam on contact. Closed- or open-cell applications can be used in attics.
Closed-cell foam provides the most insulation. It also creates a comprehensive barrier against air, vapor and water.
Open-cell foam expands when applied, filling cracks and other hard-to-reach spaces. It鈥檚 best for blocking air but isn鈥檛 completely waterproof.
Both types of spray foam insulation may even help absorb noise.
Loose fill insulation is installed using specialized machinery, while batt insulation is rolls that can be cut to fit. Insulating material can contain fiberglass, cellulose, mineral wool and cotton.
Insulation is rated for its resistance to heat flow. This is also called the R-value. Different levels are suggested based on where you live.
