“How much attic insulation should I add?”

Older homes, (15+ years old) don’t have enough insulation in the attic and need to add more. But how much more?

Read our article “How to Know if Your Atlanta Home’s Attic has Enough Insulation” to get details on:

  • If your attic needs more insulation

These two details will help you deduce how much you need to add.

“What type of insulation do I need?”

Insulation comes in many different:

  • Forms- Rolls, batts, blown-in, spray foam
  • Materials- Fiberglass, cellulose, etc.

The variety is so great that it can be hard for homeowners to decide what they need.

“How much does adding insulation cost?”

There’s no concrete answer for how much adding insulation costs since it depends on

  • How much insulation you’re adding
  • What insulation material you’re using
  • Who is doing the installation

However, Home Advisor provides average estimates for professional insulation installations in the Atlanta-area.
