How Does Attic Insulation Work?
Attic insulation works by creating a barrier that slows down the movement of heat, keeping your home comfortable year-round. In winter, insulation traps warmth inside, preventing it from escaping through the roof. During summer, it blocks outdoor heat from entering your living space, keeping your home cooler. By reducing heat transfer, attic insulation helps maintain consistent temperatures, lowers energy use, and reduces heating and cooling costs.
Maximize Energy Savings with Attic Insulation & Air Sealing
Did you know the attic is often the biggest source of energy loss in your home? Sealing attic air leaks and upgrading insulation can drastically improve energy efficiency and comfort while lowering your bills.
- Boost Insulation Levels: Many homes have just 9 inches of attic insulation, far below the recommended 16 inches for optimal energy savings. In North Carolina, R-values of R-49 to R-60 are ideal based on the insulation type.
- Why R-Value Matters: A higher R-value means better resistance to heat flow, keeping your home comfortable year-round.
- Stop Air Leaks: Air sealing prevents heated or cooled air from escaping into the attic, reducing energy loss, preventing mold, and enhancing HVAC efficiency.
- Our Expertise: GSM Services uses advanced materials and techniques, including our specialized SuperAttic™ System, to eliminate energy-wasting air leaks and provide long-lasting results.
