Attics are often the most insufficiently insulated part of a home. When your attic is not properly insulated and ventilated, you can lose conditioned air quickly, making your home more difficult – and more expensive – to keep comfortable during the winter as well as the summer.

In addition to letting heat escape during the cold winter months, a poorly insulated attic is a major contributing factor in the formation of ice dams, icicles, and mold growth, which can be both a health and safety hazard for your family and your property.

Installing baffles in an attic is a crucial step in the insulation installation process. Baffles provide ventilation and keeps the insulation from blocking air flow through your attic. It is a process that will make a world of difference in assisting your insulation and keeping your home protected from issues caused by trapped moisture.

The U.S. Department of Energy recommends homeowners have a certain depth of blown-in insulation in their attics. The amount recommended varies by climate zones. If your attic insulation depth is below the recommended level, contact our home insulation experts.
