It’s hard to keep the heat in when there are so many ways air can escape! Insulation, ventilation, recessed lighting - the list goes on. But don’t worry! There are also lots of things you can do to make sure your house stays insulated and warm. Check out these tips & tricks for keeping your attic nice & cozy all year.
Almost half of your household's energy can be used on heating & air conditioning. The attic plays a substantial role in this, as both heat & cooling are affected.
The reason for this might not be as easy to see as some would think. The ventilation and heating system is complete, and the insulation R-value can vary depending on the type and thickness of insulation materials.
In addition, other things contribute to heat flow & distribution in attics. The equipment’s location in the attic, the stack effect, and going to pieces of farmhouse fans in the attic can all have a major impact. The recessed lighting meshwork and an air outlet that leads from the room into said attic have a role as well.

At Spray Foam Insulation Today, our professionals are happy to help you better understand how your attic's ventilation system works and they'll give their evaluation on its efficiency. They can also install new vents or remove & replace the fan in your attic for you.
Proper ventilation is critical for energy efficiency as well as protecting against mold and moisture. This means your attic needs to have a sufficient number of vents to optimize the airflow. Those vents also need a quality cover with a liner to keep out rainwater and provide you with peace of mind!
