Is your attic costing you money?
All it takes is a quick peek to find out. If your attic floor is insulated but the wood beams (joists) are still visible, you probably don't have enough. But even if you can't see your beams, that's still no guarantee that you have enough insulation. The best thing to do is measure.
For maximum energy efficiency, we recommend an insulation value of R-60 for attic floors - about 18 inches of insulation. Do you have enough? To find out your current R-value, and how much more insulation you need, request a free quote.
An unheated crawlspace can send cold air up through the floor of your home, making your heating system work harder and wasting energy. Adding fiber glass insulation batts between the joists in the crawlspace ceiling can keep the rooms above comfortable and lower your energy bills. Here’s how:
- Always install the insulation with the vapor retarder toward the warm side of the structure in heating climates. In a vented crawlspace, the warm side is usually up, closest to the floor.
- The insulation should be installed all the way back at the end of each joist run so that it touches the band joist. You want complete coverage under the house.
- Water pipes should be insulated and you will need to insulate carefully around electrical wiring and boxes.
- Insulation should be placed around cross braces by cutting it and pushing it between the braces.
- Once the insulation is in place between the floor joists, insulation hangers or nylon straps can be used to hold the product in place.
- A 4- or 6-mil polyethylene vapor retarder should be laid down to completely cover the ground. Place rocks or bricks around the perimeter to hold it in place.
