Recommended levels of attic and wall insulation are your primary defense against heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. Insulation is measured in R-values, "R" indicates resistance to heat and the higher the R value, the greater your home will resist the transfer of heat. Prescribed amounts of insulation increases your home's thermal performance while decreasing heating and cooling costs. A properly insulated home will also reduce outside noise while increasing comfort levels for you and your family.

Before (R-5)

After (exceeds R-30)

When selecting the correct insulation material for your home, the following tips may offer some help:

  • Material meets CPSC (Consumer Protection Safety Council) Standards
  • Won't damage or corrode steel, copper, aluminum, or galvanized materials
  • Odor and fungi resistant protecting against molds and mildew
  • Fire retardant - the ability to inhibit the spread and speed of fire.

Cellulose loose-fill insulation material will achieve all of the above recommendations and offers the highest R-Value per inch..

Insulation costs a little
and pays a lot!
