Residential Attic Insulation
Every Chicagoland home owner needs to focus on efficiency and insulation. Without updating insulation in your home you could be wasting hundreds of dollars on your energy bill every year.
Improving the comfort of your home while reducing your energy bills is Hanlon’s focus. We aren't interested in just selling you as much insulation as possible. At Hanlon’s, our ventilation tech’s can optimize ventilation and make recommendations that can help reduce your energy bills.
Insulation provides several benefits for a home, including:
- Energy efficiency: Insulation helps to keep the heat inside the home during the winter and the cool air inside during the summer, reducing the need for heating and cooling systems to work as hard.
- Cost savings: Insulation can help to lower energy bills by reducing the amount of energy needed to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the home.
- Soundproofing: Insulation can help to reduce the amount of noise that enters the home from outside, making it a more peaceful and comfortable living space.
- Moisture control: Insulation can help to prevent moisture from entering the home, which can lead to mold and mildew growth.
- Increased comfort: Insulation helps to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the home, making it more comfortable to live in.
- Increased home value: Insulation can help to increase the value of a home by making it more energy efficient, comfortable, and safe.
The best insulation for an attic is typically fiberglass or cellulose. Both types offer good insulation properties, are relatively inexpensive, and are easy to install. Fiberglass insulation is made from recycled glass and is available in rolls or batts. Cellulose insulation is made from recycled newspaper and is typically blown in. Both types are effective at trapping heat in the attic, and can help reduce energy costs.
Why add insulation to an attic?
Adding insulation to an attic helps to improve the energy efficiency of a home by reducing the amount of heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. This can lead to lower heating and cooling costs, as well as increased comfort throughout the year. Insulation also helps to reduce noise and improve indoor air quality by preventing drafts and limiting the amount of outdoor pollutants that can enter the home. Additionally, proper insulation in the attic can protect the roof from moisture damage.
The frequency of adding insulation to an attic depends on a few factors, such as the current insulation level, the age of the insulation, and the climate in which you live.
- If your attic currently has no insulation or very little insulation, it's recommended to add insulation as soon as possible to improve energy efficiency and lower heating and cooling costs.
- If your attic has an existing insulation layer that is old or damaged, it's best to remove and replace it.
- In general, it's recommended to have your attic insulation inspected every 5-10 years and to add or replace insulation as needed.
- Chicagoland area can experience extreme temperatures, it's also recommended to check your insulation level more frequently.
