Temperature changes within your home happen naturally. In the winter, heat escapes the living areas of your home to cooler spaces such as attics, basements and attached garages. During the summer, the outside heat will make its way indoors to your homes interior. Your home’s heating and cooling system works to maintain a consistent temperature based on your thermostat settings.

 

Attic insulation works to combat this natural occurrence by limiting air movement and is an effective insulator. Insulation is rated by thermal resistance known as R-Value. The greater the R Value the greater the insulating value.  R-value requirements vary by region with colder climates requiring thicker insulation levels.
