is your attic insulation doing the job it might be time to upgrade

 Attic insulation with improper R-value will waste energy and money and cause unwanted heat loss and gain.

Energy.gov lists attics as the #1 priority for replacing or upgrading insulation.

There are ways to determine if you have enough insulation or should add.

• If your insulation is level or below the floor joist you should add more
• If ice dams are a common occurrence
• If insulation is not distributed evenly or there are gaps.

The recommended level for most attics is R-38 or about 10" to 14" depending on insulation type and zone you live in.

The Department of Energy estimates that a properly insulated attic can shave 10 to 50 percent off your heating bill. And it works the opposite way for warm climates; in summer, it helps stabilize your house's indoor temps to keep cooling needs in check.
