Why Do I Need a Cooler Attic?
As the Sun’s heat beats down onto your roof, it becomes extremely hot. The heat from the shingles or tiles is then transferred through the roof and into your attic. If the hot air is not removed from the attic, it will eventually enter your home making your A/C work harder. Attic insulation slows this process down but does not eliminate the heat transfer entirely. If your attic isn’t insulated well, it won’t do much to keep the heat from entering your home. Plus a hot attic stays hot well after sunset so heat transfer is basically constant.
Blown-in insulation, also known as loose-fill insulation, is ideal for attic insulation, basement insulation and ceiling insulation. There are two main types of blown-in insulation: cellulose and fiberglass. Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper that’s treated for fire resistance and packs tightly between joists. Fiberglass insulation is a budget-friendly option that’s also fire-resistant and reduces attic insulation cost.
