Insulation Benefits
Improve Your Home’s Energy Efficiency with Attic Insulation
When people think of insulation, they often think of keeping something warm. But the truth is that attic insulation can improve a home’s thermal performance year-round, keeping it cooler in Florida’s harshest heat and warmer on chilly winter days. By reducing heat transfer, insulation can help lessen the workload of your HVAC system, extending its lifespan and lowering your energy bill. In addition to that, insulation can even help protect your home from the damaging effects of heat and moisture that can otherwise build up in the attic. Schedule a Consultation

Recommended insulation levels for retrofitting existing wood-framed buildings
Insulations level are specified by R-Value. R-Value is a measure of insulation’s ability to resist heat traveling through it. The higher the R-Value the better the thermal performance of the insulation. The table below shows what levels of insulation are cost-effective for different climates and locations in the home.
| Zone | Add Insulation to Attic | Floor | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uninsulated Attic | Existing 3–4 Inches of Insulation | ||
| 1 | R30 to R49 | R25 to R30 | R13 |
