Blown-in Attic Insulation
As one of the top blown-in attic insulation companies in the Austin area, we want homeowners to understand the importance of this service. Insulation levels are specified by R-Value. R-Value is a measure of insulation’s ability to resist heat flow. The higher the R-Value, the better the thermal performance of the insulation. The recommended level for most attics is to insulate to R-38 or about 10 to 14 inches, depending on the insulation type. Without an adequate amount of insulation, you could be putting more load on your equipment than necessary.
