A well-insulated attic is an important component of a healthy home. It prevents warm air from escaping during winter and cool air from leaking during summer, helping your HVAC system regulate your home’s temperature more effectively, which can reduce your energy costs significantly. However, many homeowners are under-insulated and may not realize it until they experience uncomfortable temperature fluctuations or high energy bills.

Synergy Spray Foam & Air Conditioning will make your home more comfortable and efficient, but the type of attic insulation you choose depends on your needs and budget. Most insulation is available in a range of R-values, which indicate how well the material prevents heat from moving through it per inch. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation.

Fiberglass batting is the most popular attic insulation, available in rolls and blanket form. It’s inexpensive, easy to install, and can be moisture-resistant when paired with a vapor barrier. However, it’s susceptible to settling over time and is a favorite snack of raccoons.

Cellulose, made from recycled newspaper and treated with boric acid, is more environmentally friendly than fiberglass but less effective insulators. It can be blown or sprayed into attics, but may settle over time and require more layers to achieve an optimal R-value.

Spray foam insulation is a two-part liquid that expands into a foam when applied, filling cracks and crevices effectively. It is moisture-resistant and can be injected into hard-to-reach places. It is also more expensive than other types of insulation, but offers an excellent R-value and an air barrier that seals leaks.
