Whether you are trying to reduce your energy costs or simply improve the comfort of your home, Synergy Spray Foam & Air Conditioning can make a significant difference. It is important to understand what it does and why you should install it. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of attic insulation, how it works, and the different types available.

Attic Insulation Can Help Reduce Your Energy Bills

Without proper attic insulation, your home can lose up to 85% of its heat during the summer and about 30% during the winter. By reducing this loss, attic insulation can drastically reduce your heating and cooling bills. It can also improve your indoor air quality, increase your comfort and extend the life of your HVAC system.

Spray Foam Insulation

The most effective attic insulation type is spray foam, which consists of liquid polyurethane that is sprayed onto wall cavities and attic surfaces where it solidifies and creates an insulating layer. It is more expensive than other options, but it offers the highest R-value of any insulation at 6.2 per inch. It also acts as an air barrier, sealing leaks and preventing moisture from entering your home.

Other attic insulation types include fiberglass, mineral wool, and cellulose. Fiberglass consists of recycled glass spun into fibers. It is green and non-toxic, but it can lose its effectiveness over time due to moisture damage. Mineral wool is made from rock mineral materials and is fire resistant, but it can be quite expensive. Cellulose is a wood-based material that is both fire resistant and breathable.
