Crawlspace encapsulation is increasingly concerned about lowering energy consumption and costs, and doing their part to reduce carbon emissions and climate change. One of the easiest ways to do both is to upgrade attic insulation, which will lower heating and cooling bills significantly.

Depending on your electricity rate, it could take less than two years to recoup the upfront cost of the insulation. And after that, homeowners enjoy ongoing savings.

Energy Efficiency

Properly insulated attics prevent heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, reducing the workload of your HVAC system. This helps you save on energy costs and improves comfort.

Acoustical Insulation

Attic insulation keeps sound from traveling throughout your home, which makes for a more comfortable and peaceful living space. It also helps reduce unwanted noises from outside, such as rain and barking dogs.

Moisture Prevention

Insulation in the attic helps reduce ice dams, which are a dangerous and common homeowner problem in cold climates. These ridges of ice block melting snow from draining off the roof, which can leak water into your home and cause damage to walls, ceilings, insulation, and other areas. Proper attic insulation helps prevent moisture build-up in the attic and rotted roof boards, which can lead to expensive repairs or replacements.

The most common attic insulation type is fiberglass, which is made from a combination of recycled and new fiberglass, a natural resource. It’s an inexpensive and effective option for most homes. Another popular choice is spray foam insulation, which provides a higher R-value and acts as an air barrier to seal leaks and gaps. It’s also a safe, closed-cell material that resists moisture and mold growth.
