An under-insulated attic can waste up to half of your home’s energy

Is your attic properly insulated?

As the most experienced insulation contractor in the DC-Maryland-Virginia area, Cameron Home Insulation understands that an energy efficient and comfortable home environment is important. You want a home that’s warm in the winter and cool in the summer, but you also don’t want such a drastic increase in your home energy spending.

An energy efficient attic is properly insulated. There are locations within the attic that have tiny gaps or cracks that allow unwanted air to enter the attic. By air sealing and insulating your attic, you automatically qualify for an attic insulation rebate that saves you hundreds per year on your energy bills.

Key Benefits of Attic Insulation

Improved Comfort

Air naturally travels in an upward direction throughout the entire home. Primarily, attic insulation is meant to maintain your home’s temperature by blocking heated or cool conditioned air from escaping the house. Attic insulation also helps protect from the elements by creating a thermal barrier that keeps heat, cold, and moisture from easily passing into the living space below. Effectively, in the summer, it keeps the heat out, and the AC in, while im the winter, it keeps the cold air out, and the warmth in.

Energy Efficiency

When your attic is properly insulated, your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard to stay heated or cool, making your home more energy efficient, and lowering your energy bills.

Healthier Air Quality

Attics that have been air sealed as well as insulated, or insulated with spray foam generally mean healthier air quality. Air seals all of the areas inside of the attic limits air from leaking into the attic space, keeping allergens and harmful pollutants at bay.

Air Sealing Trouble Spots - US Dept of Energy

Really happy with the service and the advice given to me by the woman who did the inspection on my house. Saved me money from doing what I wanted to do (pump insulation into the walls) to what needed to be done (insulate the attic). Technicians were nice.

Which type of attic insulation solution should you choose?

While we only carry the most reliable products and can attest to their effectiveness, not all insulation is made equal.
With a FREE estimate appointment, we can assess your attic and recommend the best choice at your price range.

Spray Foam Insulation

The most sophisticated insulation on the market, spray foam primarily comes in open-cell and closed-cell formulations. It limits air leakage in attics, helping to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Spray foam insulation is long-lasting, doesn’t retain water, and isn’t a food source for pests.

Blown-In Fiberglass Insulation

A popular choice for retrofit wall insulation, blown-in fiberglass offers tremendous coverage in an open attic area, as it can be added to even the smallest crevices. However, it provides a lower R-Value per inch of thickness. Blown-in fiberglass can be added to pre-existing fiberglass insulation in good condition.

Fiberglass Batt Insulation

Fiberglass batt insulation is a popular choice for attics because it’s affordable, easy to install, and widely available in standard sizes that fit between joists and rafters. It offers good thermal performance, is naturally fire-resistant, and can quickly boost energy efficiency without a big upfront cost.

Rockwool Insulation

Rockwool insulation is ideal for attics because it provides excellent thermal performance, natural fire resistance, and outstanding moisture control. Its dense structure also offers superior soundproofing and long-lasting durability without settling over time. Similar to cellulose, rockwool is also made from natural materials.

Cellulose Insulation

Made with recycled materials and treated with natural chemicals, cellulose insulation is another a great choice for attics because it offers excellent thermal performance, and can fill small gaps and irregular spaces better than batt insulation. It’s better than blown-in fiberglass for reducing air leaks and adds a layer of fire and pest resistance.

Air Sealing

While it’s not a substitute for insulation, you might choose to air seal instead of insulating an attic because stopping air leaks can immediately prevent drafts, moisture problems, and energy loss, often delivering a quick, temporary solution to drafts and air leaks. Mostly, air sealing is the first and most critical step before adding insulation to get the full benefit.

Is it time to replace your attic insulation?

Due to its wide availabily and affordability, most insulated attics have fiberglass insulation. However, in order to maintain a home’s energy efficiency and comfort levels, fiberglass insulation needs replacing over time. If you aren’t sure if yours is due for replacement, it’s easy and free to get a certified professional to make an assessment.

It’s definitely time for a change if you’re currently experiencing any of the following:

N

Uncommonly bad allergy symptoms while at hom

N

Lingering unpleasant (moldy) odors

N

Water leakage or signs of water damage

N

Household pests

N

Inexplicably higher heating/cooling bills

N

Drafts or inconsistent temperatures

While it is common to replace fiberglass insulation with newer, similar insulation, it may even be prudent to upgrade to a different type of insulation altogether for the added benefit of not having to worry about these same problems.
