If your home feels drafty, has high energy bills, or has uneven temperatures between rooms, it’s time to check your insulation. Other signs include high levels of dust, mold, or moisture in the attic or walls.
There are several types of insulation: fiberglass batt, blown-in cellulose, spray foam, and rigid foam board. The right choice depends on your home’s needs, the climate, and your budget.
The best insulation type for your area depends on your climate and the specifics of your home. Here are some general guidelines:
- Cold Climates: For homes in colder regions, spray foam insulation or fiberglass batt is a great choice. Spray foam provides an airtight seal, offering superior insulation and preventing heat loss. Fiberglass batt is a more affordable option and works well in attics and walls.
- Hot Climates: In warmer areas, blown-in cellulose or fiberglass batt insulation is often ideal. These materials help keep cool air inside and prevent the heat from entering. Reflective or radiant barrier insulation may also be a good option for attics in hot climates, as it helps reflect heat away.
- Mixed Climates: For regions with both cold winters and hot summers, a combination of fiberglass batt and spray foam can provide year-round efficiency. Spray foam in areas like attics and crawl spaces seals gaps, while fiberglass batt can be used for walls and ceilings.
Your local climate, the design of your home, and your specific insulation needs should help determine the best material. A professional insulation contractor can help you choose the right type for your home and area.
Upgrading your insulation can save you up to 20% on your heating and cooling costs, depending on the type and amount of insulation installed.
