This homeowner contacted us to do an inspection of their Attic. They believed that the attic had poor insulation and wasn’t keeping their home warm enough in the winter and cool enough in the summer. With uneven temperatures on their second floor and high energy bills, they began exploring their options to make their home more comfortable and save on their energy bills.
During the inspection, we found that the attic floor was insulated with fiberglass batts and covered with dirt and debris. Insulation was also installed against recessed can lights creating a potential fire hazard. Plywood sheets were laid to create a path from one end of the attic to the other for access.
Our recommendation to this customer was to remove the debris and old insulation that had been acting as an air filter for the escaping conditioned air. We would then air seal all the top plates and utility penetrations to reduce the amount of air escaping from the conditioned space into the unconditioned attic. We also recommend installing rockwool covers over the can lights which are a major source of air leakage and reduce the fire risk. We then recommended blowing in an R-38 of cellulose insulation on the attic floor and installing insulated decking in order to create a safe, insulated path from the attic access to each end of the attic. Finally, we recommended an insulated cover for the pull-down stairs.
These recommendations would allow the homeowner to reduce the amount of conditioned air that is escaping into the attic and keep it in their livable space. This means that the HVAC will run less resulting in lower energy bills and less wear and tear on the system. Proper insulation also reduces the heat transfer from the hot attic in the summer, and cold in the winter, to the rooms below creating even temperatures throughout the home and ultimately a more comfortable space for the homeowners.
