aascipsw Most homeowners understand the importance of replacing old HVAC equipment with new energy-efficient units. What they don’t know is that there are several other ways to save money and lower energy consumption, including insulating their homes and adding air sealing and duct work to prevent leaks. One easy and affordable way to improve your home’s insulation is to install more attic insulation.
How much does it cost to insulate an attic in Florida?
Choosing the right type of attic Joe Blow’s Insulation Florida for your home depends on several factors, including R-value, cost and materials. The R-value is a measure of the thermal resistance of the insulation material, meaning how well it resists heat transfer. The higher the R-value, the more effective the insulation.
Fiberglass insulation is a popular choice in Florida due to its affordability and ease of installation. It is available in either batts or blown-in form and provides an R-value between R38 and R49 depending on your heating system.
Foam insulation is another good option for Florida’s hot and humid climate. It offers an R-value between R38 and R49, as well as a tight seal to keep out moisture. Foam insulation can also increase the strength of your roof, providing extra protection during hurricane season.
Other types of attic insulation include radiant barriers and rigid boards. Radiant barriers are made of reflective aluminum foil and block 95% of radiant heat before it reaches the attic. These barriers help to control temperatures throughout the house, reduce condensation and ice dams on the roof and lower energy bills. Rigid insulation boards are made of rigid foam such as expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS) or polyisocyanurate (polyiso). They offer high thermal resistance and often achieve higher R-values per inch than other types of attic insulation.
