Attic insulation can make your home more comfortable by preventing hot air from escaping in the summer and cold air from leaking in the winter. It also helps to reduce outside noise and makes your house more energy efficient. The return on investment for attic insulation is high, as a properly insulated attic can significantly cut your HVAC energy costs.

Fiberglass batt insulation is the most common attic insulation type and is relatively inexpensive and easy to install. It is available in mold and mildew-resistant forms, which are important to prevent fungus and other issues from growing in the attic space. It has an R-value per inch of 3.2 to 3.7, meaning it is an effective insulator and can save you money on your energy bills.

Loose-fill or blown-in insulation is another attic insulation option that can be made from different materials like cellulose, fiberglass or mineral wool. It is blown into the attic with special equipment that spreads it evenly and fills all open spaces. Cellulose is eco-friendly and a cost-effective choice, while fiberglass and mineral wool are more traditional options that are fairly common and affordable.

Rigid foam insulation comes in panels or boards that are molded from polystyrene, polyisocyanurate or polyurethane. It can be shaped to fit the attic area and offers a high R-value per inch, which makes it highly energy efficient. It is also a moisture-resistant material, which can prevent mold and mildew growth.

If your attic is easily accessible and you enjoy DIY projects, insulating the attic yourself can be a great weekend project. Just be sure to wear protective gear (clothing that covers your skin and a dust mask) while working in the attic.
