Insulation helps your home stay comfortable year-round, reducing air conditioning costs and improving overall energy efficiency. Insufficient attic insulation and air leaks cause your HVAC system to work harder, which increases energy bills. Low attic insulation is also a breeding ground for rodents, who chew and damage wires and other important structural components. The good news is that you can significantly improve the level of attic insulation in your home, resulting in increased comfort and savings, with the help of professionals from NextGen Spray Foam Insulation .
The first step is to inspect your attic for adequate levels of insulation and to check for cracks, water damage, pests, or other problems that might affect the effectiveness of the existing insulation. If necessary, repair these issues before adding new insulation.

Next, you’ll want to decide which type of insulation is right for your needs and budget. There are several options to choose from, including blanket, blown-in cellulose, fiberglass batts, and spray foam insulation.
Blanket insulation is made of blankets or sheets that are easily affixed to the unfinished areas of your attic. It is commonly made of plastic, fiberglass, or natural materials such as wool or mineral wool. This is a popular DIY option that typically costs less than other types of insulation.
Blown-in cellulose is comprised of loose particles that are blown into your attic space. This is a common choice among professional contractors and DIYers alike, and can be composed of various materials such as recycled paper, fiberglass, or cotton. It has a high R-value per inch, and is moisture-resistant and easy to install.
