ATTIC INSULATION CONTRACTOR IN THE MILWAUKEE AREA

There is a good chance that if your home is over 10 years old, it is not insulated well. 40% of a home’s energy is lost through the attic. A well-insulated home can save you hundreds of dollars each year in energy costs. Not only will you save on energy costs, but you will also guard your home against potential ice dams, and ice damns can cost you thousands in repairs.

Wisconsin homeowners are wasting money each year by paying for heat that escapes quickly due to inadequate attic insulation. To save on energy bills, the best place to start is with your attic. Attics are a significant source of heat loss in under-insulated Wisconsin homes.

Look at the Existing Attic Insulation

The first step is to look at the existing insulation in your attic. If the wood beams (or joists) of your attic floor are still visible, you probably don’t have enough insulation. Use a tape measure or yardstick to check the depth of it on your attic floor. The Department of Energy recommends a minimum depth of 15.5 inches of fiberglass batts or about 18 inches of blown insulation for optimum energy efficiency.
