Attic insulation is the key to a comfortable, energy efficient home. It holds heat in during the winter and blocks it out during the summer, solving problems like a hot second floor and inconsistent temperatures throughout your home. It also makes it easier for your HVAC system to heat and cool your house, which can save you a ton of money on your energy bills.
If your attic is under-insulated or your existing insulation is wet, moldy, or otherwise damaged, reach out to Home Energy Medics today. We are a full-service attic insulation company offering insulation removal, spray foam insulation, cellulose insulation, and more.

Why You Need Attic Insulation
Your attic is responsible for most of the heat loss and heat gain that happens in your house. In the summer, the sun beats down on your roof, heating it up. That heat travels into the attic below and then down into your upstairs bedrooms. In the winter, heat rises up and into your attic and then escapes out of your roof. Attic insulation creates a barrier that slows down heat movement. This leads to many benefits.
More Comfort - Attic insulation stabilizes the temperature inside your house and solves problems like hot bedrooms and a hot upstairs.
Lower Energy Bills - It’s easier to heat and air condition a house with good attic insulation, which saves you money on your energy bills. It's a home upgrade that pays for itself through energy savings.
Better Indoor Air Quality - Attic insulation and air sealing work together to keep not just heat but also moisture, pests, and air pollutants out of your home, improving your indoor air quality.
Better for the Environment - Well-insulated houses save energy, which is good for the environment and helps reduce carbon emissions.
Attic insulation is hugely important, but it’s only one piece of the puzzle. To get your attic working properly, you need to implement additional measures, including air sealing. Most insulation companies will install insulation and skip over other important measures to save time and money, which leaves your new insulation working at 50% of its capacity, robbing you of energy bill savings, comfort, and air quality improvements. Home Energy Medics does not cut corners. We will evaluate every inch of your attic and implement a comprehensive solution so you can experience the full benefits of a properly insulated attic. That’s the difference between working with a standard insulation company and a true energy efficiency firm.

Need Attic Insulation? Start with an Energy Audit
Most houses need better attic insulation, but other factors also contribute to their energy efficiency, comfort, and health. That’s why we always recommend an energy audit before making changes to your home’s insulation. During an energy audit, we look at your entire home, from the basement to the attic. We’ll find out exactly where your home is losing energy, what’s causing comfort problems, and which upgrades will give you the best bang for your buck.

Looking for Duct Sealing? Did you know...
There is a substantial amount of energy loss when your HVAC system works overtime to make up for leaks and gaps in your ductwork. In addition to increased energy bills, the unnecessary strain on your system can significantly shorten its lifespan or lead to costly repairs. Air duct leaks can also create indoor air quality issues by allowing dust, allergens, and other pollutants easy access to the air circulating through your home. Having properly sealed ducts keeps these pollutants out of the air you breathe and balances temperatures, leaving your home feeling more comfortable.
