Fiberglass insulation is one of the cheapest ways to make your home more energy-efficient, and many states have rebate programs available for this type of upgrade. You may also be eligible for federal tax credits or utility discounts to help offset project costs.

A well-insulated attic helps to keep conditioned air inside your home and reduces energy waste, saving you money on heating and cooling. It can also improve the consistency of room temperatures and enhance soundproofing.

Attic Insulation Installation: What to Expect with Palomo Insulation

The type and thickness of your attic insulation will determine its R-value, which indicates how much heat the material can prevent from passing through it per inch. The Department of Energy recommends R-30 insulation for most homes, but you can achieve greater efficiency with higher R-values.

Fiberglass batts are the most popular DIY option, as they’re inexpensive and easy to install with a mask, gloves, and long sleeves. They’re best suited for open, unobstructed attics and need to be laid precisely- gaps and compression will reduce effectiveness.

Loose-fill cellulose or fiberglass can be used in addition to existing batts or blankets, and is ideal for hard-to-reach spaces. It’s fire-retardant and good at filling small gaps, but requires a blower (which can be rented from most home improvement stores) and is messier to apply.

Foam boards or SIPs (structural insulated panels) are a more expensive option, but deliver superior thermal and structural performance. They’re best suited for new construction or major attic renovations aiming for maximum energy efficiency.
