The amount of attic insulation in your home is a vital factor to consider when it comes to energy efficiency, preventing cold spots and bugs, and more. Properly insulated homes are also less costly to heat and cool. Investing in new attic insulation is one of the most cost-effective upgrades a homeowner can make, and in many cases it can lead to utility rebates.

Getting your attic insulated properly is important to avoid expensive heat loss and ice dams. Depending on your location, attic insulation requirements can vary. The Georgia state minimum standard energy code includes charts that show how the attic insulation requirement changes by zone. This is helpful to know if you are building new construction or looking for energy efficient renovations.

There are several different options for attic insulation, including fiberglass batts, loose-fill and spray foam. Each has its own price tag, which can change the overall cost of the project. Fiberglass is typically the most budget friendly option, while spray foam can be more costly but offers superior performance. The size of the area you are insulating will also affect the cost. Adding more square footage will increase the cost of materials and labor.

Most homeowners hire an insulation contractor to install ENERGY STAR®-certified attic insulation, but there are resources available for do-it-yourself projects. These do-it-yourself (DIY) guides will provide information on the type of insulation to purchase and the amount you need for a specific project. They will also give recommendations for the level of skill required to install the product, which can help you decide whether to hire a professional or try a DIY installation.
