A Weems, VA homeowner contacted us because they wanted to add insulation to their attic. They had existing blown-in fiberglass insulation, but it wasn’t doing the job. Insulation is measured by R-value, the material’s ability to resist the transfer of heat. When an attic has little insulation, the sweltering summer temperatures and cold winter temperatures influence the comfort of the rooms below making them hard to heat and cool.
The attic also had several recessed or can lights. Can lights allow approximately 10 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of air leakage, which works out to 10 basketballs of air per minute escaping through each can light. These lights tend to get very hot, and therefore cannot have insulation against them, allowing that space to be further unprotected from air loss. The attic currently has blown-in fiberglass insulation that doesn’t fill between all the floors joists and is pushed aside around can lights. Wire and utility penetrations contribute to the air loss in the home.
To help this homeowner we suggested air sealing the attic at all top plates, utility penetrations and installing rock wool can-light covers over the recessed lights and sealing them. The rock wool covers are fire retardant and safe to use near can lights, they also don’t directly touch the light and allow for air sealing. Next, we would install dams around the scuttle access to keep any insulation from falling in when the space is accessed. We would also install foam board insulation on the back of the scuttle access to reduce the transfer of heat from the attic through the scuttle door. Finally, we recommended installing blown-in cellulose insulation over the existing insulation.
If the homeowner chooses to go this route, they will experience more even temperatures throughout the home, a reduction in their energy bills, and reduce wear and tear on their HVAC unit.
