How Much Attic Insulation Do You Need?<\/h3>\n

Does your attic look like this?<\/p>\n

\"attic<\/p>\n

To determine if you need more attic insulation, the first thing you should look for are the floor joists. If you can\u2019t see floor joists, that\u2019s a good thing. It means you may already have enough insulation. If, on the other hand, your attic looks like the picture above and you can see your floor joists, you definitely need more insulation.<\/p>\n

Just because you can\u2019t see the floor joists doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you have enough insulation. In order to know if you need more insulation in the attic, contact the attic insulation specialists at Air America Heating & Cooling.<\/p>\n

You can also use a ruler or measuring tape to measure the depth in inches. Take a few different measurements of your attic insulation depth and take photos for your records. If you are measuring anything below 12 inches, ask your contractor about adding more insulation.<\/p>\n

When working in the attic, make sure you only step on the floor joists! Bring up boards to walk on if needed. You may also want a flashlight, hardhat, safety glasses, gloves, and a dust mask.<\/p>\n

For a more thorough attic insulation evaluation, contact the professionals at Air America Heating & Cooling. If you know you have low attic insulation levels, it\u2019s time to call the professionals!<\/p>\n

This looks better, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
