Did you know that one of the biggest sources of home energy loss is above you? It’s in the attic space. To reduce utility bills, the first place to focus on is the attic.
Why Attic Insulation Matters To Reduce Utility Bills
Adequate attic insulation is vitally important to prevent the movement of heat between living spaces and the attic. Having adequate insulation levels in your home can reduce energy bills by as much as 30%! The effectiveness of attic insulation also depends on proper ventilation to control moisture.
The Columbus area falls within Climate Zone 5. The Department of Energy recommends an attic insulation value of at least R49. To improve existing insulation, Muth & Company Roofing advises that you add several inches of insulation. This will increase your efforts to achieve the minimum R-value. A fiberglass blown-in insulation system is one of the best and easiest ways to increase the attic’s insulative value.
