Insulation in the Attic
Insulation Panama City, especially in the attic, regulates the home’s temperature and takes pressure off of your heating and cooling system. It keeps warm air from escaping into the chilly outdoors in winter and cold air from seeping into your living space in summer.
If you’re not sure if your home needs insulation, contact a professional insulation contractor to get an assessment. They can recommend the right R-value for your climate zone and help you select the best insulation type.
When preparing to insulate your attic, be sure to remove any old insulation and seal any leaky areas. Then, make sure the attic is clear of clutter; it’s easy for a dirty attic to be a hiding place for mice, bugs, and other pests. Also, ensure that your attic has a vent for the air to escape.
