When it comes to making your HVAC system cost-efficient, you should not compromise on the quality of its components. Newer systems use less energy; they are durable and also “greener” than older ones. But at the same time, people tend to forget that proper attic insulation is as important as duct replacement.

Attic insulation refers to the materials installed in your attic that help to control energy costs and maintain consistent temperatures throughout your home. Indeed, when you cool or heat your home, you don’t want valuable cold or hot air to go to waste because of poor insulation. It is always better to hire licensed technicians from Global Green Solutions who will analyze your situation and choose suitable energy-efficient materials for your project.

Aspects To Consider For Good Attic Insulation

Attic insulation is performed in a number of ways, depending on the building type, available funds, and R-value that has to be achieved. Global Green Solutions works with various materials that provide different energy-saving rates. The R-value number shows how efficiently the insulation works. If this number is low, it means that you are literally throwing your money down the drain because cooled or warmed air from your HVAC freely passes outside. But if this index is too high, you will suffer from stale air.

Our certified technicians will make sure that your R-index is optimal for your house
by choosing suitable materials and performing all work professionally.

Blown-in Attic Insulation

If you are thinking of upgrading your attic insulation, we recommend considering the blown-in (or loose-fill) method. It comprises hundreds of tiny insulating particles and can fit into small areas and sharp corners. It is also suitable for places where other methods might damage finishes. Commonly, blown-in attic insulation is made from cellulose, sometimes fiberglass, or even mineral wool (slag or rock). Global Green Solutions will professionally install blown-in insulation for your attic.
Blanket Insulation

Blanket insulation is the most widespread attic insulation in Los Angeles. Compared to other methods, it is rather affordable and appeals to ‘DIY’ property owners. Blanket insulation is usually made from flexible fiberglass (although some mineral and natural fiber options are available). Our customer support manager will consult with you on choosing the most suitable insulation materials for your project.
Rigid Foam Attic Insulation

Rigid foam attic insulation (often called foam board insulation) will work almost anywhere in your home. Rigid foam has an exceptional thermal resistance that might be up to 2 times more than other popular insulation materials of comparable thickness. The rigid foam method decreases the conduction of heat through the structural elements of the building, for example, through steel studs. If you have doubts about whether rigid foam insulation works for you, call us for a free expert consultation.
Structural Insulated Panels

SIPs (Structural insulated panels) are suitable for a number of locations, namely, ceilings, attics, walls, or floors. Unlike other methods, SIPs guarantee equable coverage and help ensure your home is airtight. When your house is fully insulated from the outdoors, it becomes quieter and cozier. Our experienced serviceman can install SIPs faster than any other materials.
Radiant Barriers

Radiant barriers truly stand out among other insulation materials because they operate differently. They reflect radiant heat, while other methods only target conductive and convective heat. By using extremely reflective materials, radiant barriers help to redirect heat from the sun, which would otherwise warm your roof and increase your attic temperature. Global Green Solutions is the leading provider of radiant barrier installations in Los Angeles, CA. Use our website form to order insulation services for your attic.

Attic insulation FAQs

How is Attic Insulation Index Measured?

Professionally, we compare all types of attic insulation by assessing thermal performance, which is counted as R-values. This R-value shows how well the insulation can combat the flow of heat, and it is measured per inch of thickness. As a general rule, the higher the R-value, the better the energy efficiency and climate control.

How can I understand that my insulation has worn out?

Energy-efficiency of your home is determined by a number of factors and insulation is a crucial one. If you have noticed suddenly that keeping your place warm or cool is more complicated than before, it is time to check all the components of your HVAC system. We suggest ordering our testing and maintenance services to detect the real reason for the increase in energy consumption.

Can I install attic insulation myself?

You shouldn’t install insulation on your own unless you are a certified technician. Unprofessional insulation might lead to additional costs that will definitely exceed the price for the technician’s work. Global Green Solutions knows everything about attic insulation services. Call us to book a visit of a certified attic insulation technician.

How Much Attic Insulation Does a Los Angeles Home Need?

Most of Los Angeles County is in IECC climate zone 3. For that zone, ENERGY STAR recommends, for existing wood-framed homes, bringing an attic floor to R49 if it has no insulation, and adding R38 if it already has 3 to 4 inches (ENERGY STAR).

Signs Your Attic Insulation Is Not Doing Its Job

Rooms under the roof run hot

Upstairs bedrooms or rooms under a flat roof stay warm long after sunset.

The AC runs for hours on summer afternoons

Heat soaking through the ceiling keeps the system working.

You can see the ceiling joists

If the tops of the joists show, the insulation is thinner than the joists are deep.

Insulation that is damp, stained or flattened

Roof leaks, pests and foot traffic ruin its R-value.

Insulation, Air Sealing and Ducts Work Together

Insulation slows heat moving through the ceiling, air sealing stops attic air leaking into the house through gaps around lights, pipes and the attic hatch, and a radiant barrier cuts the sun's heat that reaches the attic floor in the first place. Ducts that run through the attic matter just as much: leaky or poorly insulated ducts lose cooled air before it reaches a room, which is why insulation projects pair well with air duct replacement. If your cooling bill is the reason you are here, an AC tune-up is the other half of the fix.

What Affects the Cost of Attic Insulation?

Attic size

The floor area to cover.

Material

Blown-in cellulose or fiberglass, batts, or rigid foam.

The R-value target

Topping up thin insulation takes less material than insulating a bare attic.

Old insulation

Damp, contaminated or pest-damaged insulation may need to come out first.

Access and air sealing

Low clearances and the gaps to seal before new insulation goes in.
