Adding Attic Insulation
A quick way to see if you need more insulation is to look across your uncovered attic floor. If your insulation is level with or below the attic floor joists, you probably need to add more insulation. In the coldest climates, insulating up to R-60 is recommended. R-Value is the value given to insulation products that states their resistance to heat flow, with increasing values providing more insulation. An R factor of R-60 means you should have approximately 21” of insulation in your attic. Older homes tend to have less insulation than modern homes and overtime insulation settles causing the density to decrease. Adding Attic Insulation qualifies for the $1,500 U.S. government tax credit for tax years 2009 and 2010. Over time, additional attic insulation can pay for itself by cutting energy bills by 20 - 30% or up to 10% annually on total annual energy bills.
