Why Attic Insulation Is Imperative in Tulsa
Summer temperatures in Tulsa often climb into the high 80s and low 90s. Although our mild winters offer some reprieve, the cool temperatures can dip quite low each night. Residential attic spaces provide a buffer between the outdoor elements and indoor comfort.
Without enough of the right insulation material, your home could fall victim to extreme heat, cool temperatures, and high moisture levels. But how much insulation does your home need?
Houses in Tulsa should have a minimum of seven inches of material. We recommend up to 14 inches deep for optimal protection. Installing enough attic insulation leads to:
· Lower energy bills
· Better indoor air quality
· More protection for your home’s structure
· Smaller workload for HVAC systems
Insulation is the foundation for a more cost-effective and efficient home.
Types of Attic Insulation
Depending on your home’s structure and HVAC needs, our techs might suggest one of the following types of insulation:
· Loose fill
· Foam
· Batt
Each type requires a different application. Their function depends on the installation environment.
We blow loose fill into your attic with a machine. It consists of small pieces of material that coats your attic floor. Batt insulation comes in rolls. We install it by cutting it to fit rafter spaces and stapling it to the attic ceiling.
Finally, foam insulation’s application depends on whether the formula is closed-cell or open-cell. We spray the foam in vulnerable areas. It expands to fit into the space, creating a barrier strong enough to muffle noises.
We Install and Replace Attic Insulation
Ideally, you should replace your home’s insulation every 15 years. At the very least, schedule an inspection with our technicians to confirm whether the existing insulation works well. We’ll advise on whether to move forward with replacement or keep the current materials for a few more years.
If we need to replace your insulation, we’ll examine your attic to ensure it has no hidden damage or leaks. We’ll also take cues from the old insulation to find the best option. We might suggest one type or a combination of materials.
Finally, our team will quickly and efficiently install the new insulation. Fresh, properly installed insulation could reduce your energy costs by 10%. Our services pay for themselves.
