Spray foam insulation of your home feeling cold, even with the heating on, and then getting hit with exorbitant energy bills each month, it might be time to add attic insulation. A blown-in fiberglass installation may help keep your house warm and reduce energy costs. Adding this type of insulation can also increase your home’s R-Value and prevent it from losing as much heat in winter, or absorbing too much in summer.

Another option is cellulose, which is often recycled from cardboard, newspapers, and wood-based materials. It’s blown-in, following the same distribution method as fiberglass, and can be mixed with boric acid to make it flame resistant in case of a fire. Like fiberglass, it can be used to insulate walls and ceilings, and it is highly effective at filling gaps, which helps keep heat inside.

Blown-in attic insulation (also known as loose-fill) consists of small particles of either fiberglass, cellulose, or mineral wool that are installed using a blowing machine. This option offers more comprehensive coverage than fiberglass batts, and it can help reduce sound transmission in a home. The main drawback of blown-in insulation is that it can settle over time, which can affect its R-Value and cause it to lose effectiveness. It also tends to absorb moisture, which can lead to mold and mildew.
