Attic Insulation
Adding More Insulation to your Attic to Increase comfort and lower Energy bills!
All Climate Air has been insulating homes for over 38 years here in Bakersfield and Kern County. Insulation keeps your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. There are some common types of insulation we install, blown in cellulose into the attic and fiberglass both in batt and blown in form. When installed insulation can deliver comfort and lower energy bills during the hottest and coldest times of the year. However many homes are under-insulated and that has the same impact on your heating and cooling energy costs as leaving a door or window open year-round.Insulation performance is measured by R-value, its ability to resist heat flow. Higher R-value means more insulation power. For you to get the biggest savings, the best place to add insulation is usually in the attic. A quick way to see if you need more insulation in your attic is to measure your insulation in inches. The recommended insulation level in most attics is a R-38 or about 12 inches for cellulose or 15 inches of fiberglass blown-in or you call us for a free attic inspection. Blown-in insulation can seal every nook, leaving no part untouched. You know how an insulated mug can keep your drink warn or cool for hours, same answer for your home with attic insulation.
Here are some facts about attic insulation:
There are lots of reasons to properly maintain your air conditioner or heat pump, but here are a few that will help improve your comfort and save you money all summer long and keep your most important investment in your home working night and day.
- In the summer your attic temperature can reach 150 to 160 degrees although outside air temperatures are only 95 to 97 degrees.
- In the summer heated air trapped in your attic space can slowly creep into your entire home making your HVAC system work harder and longer, costing you more to cool your home on your monthly energy bill.
- Cellulose insulation can stop critters and pests from settling in your attic.
- In the winter insulation protects the heat in your home by creating a barrier between you and the cold weather.
- Insulation stops heat treated air from escaping through your attic which saves your money on your energy bill.
