Many homeowners focus on upgrading kitchens and bathrooms, but the attic space is one of the most cost-effective places to improve energy efficiency and comfort. Proper attic insulation can reduce heat loss in the winter and prevent excess heat gain in the summer, lowering home energy bills significantly.

When installing attic insulation, you can choose from several options including fiberglass, cellulose, and spray foam insulation. Fiberglass is a common material used for home insulation and comes in rolls or batts that are placed between studs, joists, and rafters. This type of insulation is effective for most homes because it encapsulates pockets of air between attic and living spaces, creating an air-sealing effect. This makes it one of the most durable types of attic insulation and provides a high level of performance over time.

Spray foam insulation expands to fill gaps, cracks, and crevices quickly to increase home energy efficiency. This insulation is more effective than other materials because it does not lose its insulating value over time and has the added benefit of preventing moisture accumulation that promotes mold and mildew growth. Coastal homes often experience humidity levels that can lead to mold and mildew problems, and spray foam insulation helps to control these issues.

How Proper Attic Insulation Lowers Energy Bills

Aside from reducing energy bills and increasing comfort, attic insulation offers additional benefits for coastal homes. Energy efficiency improvements are vital for coastal homes because of the frequent use of heating and cooling systems to compensate for extreme temperature fluctuations. Insulation also helps minimize salt air exposure to building materials, ensuring that your home’s structural components are protected from corrosion.
