What An Attic Insulation Upgrade Can Do For You & Your Home's Energy Efficiency
The attic is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to save energy in your home. By adding insulation, you can much easier maintain the desired temperature throughout your home year round.
Attic insulation is a very popular energy-saving improvement in Delaware & E. Shore Maryland. The attic loses more energy (and money!) than any other part of the house.
What makes matters worse is that most homes have inadequate and/or poorly installed attic insulation. The existing attic insulation in many homes may be as minimal as R-19.
Increasing Attic Insulation In the Winter
In greater Delmarva, Delaware & E. Shore Maryland, for your home to endure a cold winter with so little insulation is like wearing a T-shirt in a snowstorm.
What your house needs is the equivalent of a thick, down-filled parka.
More specifically, the U.S. Department of Energy recommends between R-49 and R-60 of attic insulation for homes in Delaware & E. Shore Maryland. That's at least a 16-inch thick blanket of fiberglass insulation!

Customer Reviews
Importance of Air Sealing and Insulating Attics
Larry Janesky explains that insulation is also needed in warmer areas. Insulation prevents heat transfer. It prevents hot air from being transferred to the outside in the wintertime, and prevents the attic's scorching heat from being transferred into the living areas of your home during the summer.
Combining Attic Insulation & Sealing Air Leaks For Ample Energy Conservation
Baffles keep ventilation channels open. Plastic spacers are installed between rafters in the attic to maintain a vent space beneath the roof surface after new insulation is installed.
Air-sealing is a critical step because it stops conditioned interior air from leaking into the attic. Dr. Energy Saver uses a variety of materials and techniques to stop this energy-wasting air leakage.
Installing baffles ensures proper attic ventilation. Sized to fit between the rafters in the attic, plastic baffles maintain a ventilation space between the attic's soffit vents (located along the eaves) and the ridge vent. Installing baffles before adding more attic insulation helps avoid damage from ice dams and excess moisture.
Old insulation can be reused most of the time. As long as the existing insulation is not wet, moldy or overly compressed, it can usually be put back into place after the attic has been air-sealed and before new insulation is installed.
Sealing air leaks and maintaining a comfortable roof temperature means you'll be preventing and removing ice damming too!
