Attic Insulation | Oklahoma City, OK

Is Your Attic Working Against You?

Your attic plays a major role in how comfortable your home feels and how hard your heating and cooling system

has to work.

According to the US. Environmental Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR program, 9 out of 10 homes in the United

States are under-insulated. Low insulation levels and air leaks can cause your HVAC System to work harder, waste

energy, and create uncomfortable hot and cold areas throughout your home.

The U.S. Department of Energy identifies insulation and air sealing as important parts of a home's thermal

envelope. Heat can move through the roof, walls, floors, and other parts of the building, especially through gaps

and penetrations in the building assembly.

More Insulation Isn't Always the Whole Answer

At Insulation Systems of Oklahoma, we don't believe in simply blowing more insulation into every attic,

A properly performing attic needs the right amount of insulation, proper air sealing, and proper ventilation.

ENERGY STAR recommends air sealing attic leaks before adding insulation. Air leaks around ceiling penetrations,

plumbing, electrical fixtures, dropped soffits, and Other openings can allow conditioned air to escape into the attic.

Proper ventilation is important as well. Insulation should not block soffit vents, and rafter vents or baffles can help

maintain a clear path for outside air to move through the attic ventilation system.

How Much Insulation Does Your Attic Need?

Insulation is measured by R-value, which measures how well insulation resists heat flow. Generally, the higher the R-value, the greater the insulation's resistance to heat transfer,

ENERGY STAR lists R-38 as a recommended insulation level for many attics, while its climate-zone guidance

shows that recommended levels can vary by location and existing insulation.

For homeowners in Oklahoma, the right insulation level should be based on the home's location. existing insulation, attic construction, and the condition of the attic—not simply a one-size-fits-all number.

ENERGY STAR estimates that homeowners can save an average of on heating and cooling costs, or about

11% on total energy costs, by air sealing their homes and adding insulation in attics, floors over crawlspaces, and basements. Actual savings vary by home and project.

The Right Attic Solution Depends on Your Home

Every attic is different. Some homes need additional blown-in insulation. Others need air sealing, ventilation corrections, or a complete attic rehabilitation. Some homes are better candidates for spray foam, while others benefit from insulation that also provides pest-control protection.
