Adding Ceiling Insulation Increases Energy Efficiency
Adding ceiling insulation to your home can reduce cooling and heating costs. Homes built after 1982 are required to have a minimum R-19 insulation. However, if your home was built before 1982 or your electric bill is too high, you may benefit from adding ceiling insulation.
Installing additional ceiling insulation keeps unwanted heat out, reduces the workload of your cooling system and can result in additional savings on your electric bill. At R & R Heating & Cooling we only install high quality Owens Corning AttiCat Expanding Blown-In Insulation based on the manufacturer’s specification. This blown-in insulation is designed to maintain the same energy-saving level over time, keeping your home comfortable for years to come.
Do I Need to Add Insulation?
The best way to determine if your insulation is at the recommended level is by age. To be certain that you need to add insulation, go into your attic with a ruler and measure the depth of the insulation at the attic entry. Remember to use safety precautions when climbing the ladder. Compare your measurements using the chart below to determine if additional insulation is needed.
An FPL Energy Expert can measure your home’s insulation levels and determine if you’re eligible for a rebate, and if so, what that amount will be. You can redeem your FPL incentive through any Participating Independent Contractor (PIC)*. Call us at 1-800-DIAL-FPL (1-800-342-5375)
