When your Westport, MA is well-insulated, your heating and cooling systems work less hard to maintain a comfortable temperature, saving energy. However, not all insulation materials are created equal. If you notice a drop in home comfort, ice dams on your roof, or increased noise levels in certain rooms of the house, it may be time to replace your attic insulation.

Whether your home has old fiberglass batts or needs a full replacement, ENERGY STAR recommends working with a Building Performance Institute-certified contractor to air seal and insulate your attic. These professionals can ensure your home is safe, healthy, and comfortable for years to come!

Save on Energy Bills with Proper Attic Insulation

Rigid foam insulation is made of panels or boards that are cut to size and installed against your attic’s structural components. It acts as an insulator and air barrier, keeping cool air in during summer and warm air in during winter. It also reduces noise levels in the living space. It has a high R-Value and is moisture resistant. However, it is more expensive than other attic insulation options and requires professional installation due to its hazardous chemicals.

If your attic is easily accessible, you might be able to save money by doing the job yourself. Be sure to review ENERGY STAR’s DIY resources and consult your local utility for rebate guidelines. If you’re confident in your abilities and have a vehicle that can haul insulation rolls or a blowing machine, and enjoy crawling around dusty attics, this could be the perfect project for you!
