A well-insulated attic helps prevent heat loss and condensation in the summer and cold air leaks in the winter, which can significantly reduce your energy bills. In addition, a properly insulated attic can reduce the strain on your HVAC system and increase comfort inside your home.
You can choose between several types of insulation for your attic. One popular option is home insulation, which is commonly made from plastic, fiberglass, or natural materials such as wool or cotton. It is typically installed as a sheet and is affixed to unfinished areas of your attic. Another popular choice is loose-fill insulation, which is blown into your attic using a special machine. This option is often more affordable than a professional installation. Loose-fill insulation is commonly made from cellulose, mineral wool, or fiberglass.

Spray foam insulation is also a good option for your attic. It is a highly effective insulator that acts as both an air barrier and a structural support material. It has a high R-value per inch, but it must be professionally applied and requires trained professionals because of its chemical handling.
Radiant barriers and reflective insulation work by reflecting radiant heat, rather than blocking it. They are usually installed in the attic and can help lower cooling costs by reducing unwanted solar gain. They are often installed along with air sealing to improve efficiency even more.
