Question 1

Why is air sealing important?

Accepted Answer

Air sealing stops the flow of air through gaps and cracks in your home's envelope. Without it, new insulation can't perform at its full rated R-value.

Question 2

What is the best type of insulation for an attic?

Accepted Answer

Blown-in cellulose or fiberglass are excellent for most attics, while spray foam is superior for cathedral ceilings or creating a conditioned attic space.

Question 3

Are there tax credits for insulation?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Under the Inflation Reduction Act, homeowners can claim a tax credit of 30% (up to $1,200 annually) for qualified insulation and air sealing projects.
