The type of insulation installed in your attic impacts how much energy it takes to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, as well as your monthly utility bills. ENERGY STAR recommends that you install attic insulation with a R-value of at least R-30, and homeowners in very cold climates may need higher R-values.

Fiberglass batt insulation in York, PA is the most common form of attic insulation, as it is relatively affordable and has a high R-value per inch. It is also non-combustible and presents no fire hazard, making it a good choice for homeowners concerned about environmental impact. However, it is not able to resist moisture and mold, which can lead to damage.

Mineral wool and cellulose are other popular types of attic insulation, as they offer higher R-values than fiberglass and can resist moisture and mold. However, they are not as fire resistant as fiberglass and can be susceptible to rodent infestations. Moreover, the process of manufacturing cellulose insulation requires the use of boric acid, which can negatively affect the health and safety of your family.

If your attic is accessible and you enjoy tackling bigger home improvement projects, insulating your attic yourself may be a suitable DIY project. However, if your attic is difficult to access or you are not comfortable working in unfinished spaces, it may be a better option to hire an insulation contractor to complete the job for you.
