Attic insulation in York, PA is one of the most cost-effective ways to make your home more comfortable while saving energy. It’s also an important part of an ENERGY STAR Home Upgrade and may be eligible for federal tax credits or utility rebates.
There are a few common types of attic insulation on the market including loose-fill and blown-in fiberglass insulation, cellulose, mineral wool, and spray foam. All are effective at keeping hot or cold air out and increasing your monthly energy savings, but they differ in how easy they are to install and in their R-values.
Common Myths About Spray Foam Insulation Debunked
Loose-fill or blown in insulation is easy to install as it’s sprayed onto the attic floor. This type of insulation can be made from cellulose (made from recycled paper), fiberglass, or mineral wool. It can be placed between attic joists or over them. It is a good choice for new attic installations or in older homes that are not well-insulated. However, it is a favorite snack of raccoons and can lose its R-value over time, especially when wet or dirty.
A popular choice is spray foam, which is sprayed directly on attic surfaces. It can be made from open or closed-cell spray and is available in R-values from 3.5 to 7. It creates an air barrier that closes the nooks and crannies where hot or cold air escapes, allowing your home to be more comfortable while saving you money on your heating and cooling bills.
