The attic is often out-of-sight, out-of-mind for most home owners until it’s time to haul down the holiday decorations. But attics are important spaces that play a crucial role in the efficiency and comfort of homes.

An insulated attic is key to lowering energy bills, preventing mold and reducing noise transfer. A properly insulated attic can also help to protect priceless possessions like photographs and family heirlooms stored there from extreme temperatures or high moisture levels.

Many of the problems that plague attics can be addressed with regular inspections and targeted upgrades. Getting your attic inspected, air sealed and properly insulated is a simple, cost-effective improvement that can make a significant impact on your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.

Attic Maintenance And Insulation

Most attics are filled with old, outdated insulation that can contribute to significant energy loss. To improve your home’s performance, consider adding more insulation and sealing air leaks with spray foam. The ENERGY STAR Home Upgrade program offers financial incentives for insulation, sealing and other home improvements that improve comfort, health and energy savings.

When installing new insulation, be sure to use an unfaced fiberglass product (without paper or foil) for better air sealing and thermal performance. If your HVAC ducts run through the attic, consider having them sealed and insulated as well. Also, be aware that some older attics have vermiculite insulation, which may contain asbestos. Be sure to have any vermiculite insulation tested by a lab before disturbing it.
