Comfort Problems Your Attic May Be Causing
You feel the results of a poorly insulated attic every day, even if you never climb up there. In this part of Utah, summer afternoons can leave attics baking with trapped heat, which then radiates down into bedrooms and living areas. In winter, warm air from your furnace rises and slips through thin insulation or open gaps, leaving some rooms cold and forcing your heating system to work longer than it should.
There are a few clues that point straight to the attic. You might notice big temperature differences between floors, especially between main living areas and upstairs spaces. Rooms over a garage or under a roof with dark shingles can be especially uncomfortable. Your HVAC system may seem to run constantly, only to give you a home that still feels drafty or stuffy.
Poor attic insulation often goes hand in hand with air leaks around light fixtures, attic hatches, plumbing penetrations, and other openings. These leaks allow conditioned air to escape and pull unconditioned air into your home. When we visit homes in the area, we frequently find a mix of low insulation levels, gaps in coverage, and unsealed openings that all add up to higher bills and lower comfort.
How Our Team Improves Your Attic, Step By Step
When you reach out to us about your attic, our goal is to give you a clear picture of what is happening and how we can help. We start with a free consultation and attic assessment, where our team looks at your existing insulation, checks for visible air leaks, and notes any signs of damage or moisture. When possible, we measure insulation depth and compare it to recommended levels for this region.
After the inspection, we take time to walk you through what we saw. We can point out areas where insulation is thin or missing and explain how leaks or gaps affect your comfort and energy use. If photos are helpful, we can use them to show you what is going on in parts of the attic that are hard to reach. We then talk about your goals, whether you want to lower bills, make specific rooms more usable, or prepare an older home for long-term comfort.
Once we understand your priorities, we put together a plan for the attic. This can include air sealing, insulation removal, and new insulation installation. We discuss which materials make sense for your attic layout and budget, along with timing and any special considerations. You can ask questions at every step, so there are no surprises.
On installation day, our team protects your home before any work begins. We cover floors in the path to the attic access, move or cover nearby items as needed, and plan how to control dust. If your project involves removing old insulation, we handle that carefully and arrange disposal according to local requirements.
During installation, we focus on careful, consistent work:
- We install the chosen insulation materials to the agreed specifications.
- We pay close attention to coverage, avoiding gaps and thin spots.
- We coordinate air sealing with insulation so the two work together.
- We communicate progress with you throughout the day.
After the insulation is in place, we check our work and tidy the space. Our goal is that when we leave, your attic is upgraded, and the areas we accessed inside your home look as clean as when we arrived. We review what was completed and answer any last questions so you feel confident about the work that was done.
Attic Insulation Options We Offer & When We Recommend Each
Every attic is different, which is why we offer several types of insulation instead of relying on a single material. The right choice depends on your roof structure, existing insulation, access, and goals for comfort and efficiency. During your assessment, we explain which options fit your space and why we recommend them.
Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam can be a strong choice in attics where air leakage is a major concern or where there are many hard-to-reach areas. It expands to fill gaps and cracks, which can help reduce drafts and heat transfer. In some attics, it may be used in key areas that benefit most from a tight seal.
Fiberglass Batt Insulation
Fiberglass batt insulation is often used in open joist bays where it can be installed in a neat, continuous layer. Batts can be a good fit when the framing is regular and accessible. We focus on proper placement and alignment so the insulation performs as intended.
Blown-In Insulation
Blown-in insulation, such as fiberglass or cellulose, is useful when you want to cover large areas evenly or add depth on top of existing material that is still in reasonable condition. We use equipment that distributes the material at the right density to help avoid thin spots or settling issues.
Beyond adding new material, our team also provides air sealing and insulation removal. Sealing gaps before adding insulation can significantly improve performance. In some cases, old insulation is damaged, dirty, or uneven enough that removal is the best path toward a clean, effective upgrade. We take the time to explain when removal makes sense and how it would be handled.
Our recommendations are based on what we see in your attic and what you want from your home. We do not push a single solution. Instead, we share choices and help you understand how each option can affect comfort, noise levels, and energy use.
Benefits You Can Expect From an Upgraded Attic
When your attic insulation is brought up to a thoughtful standard, you often feel the difference throughout the home. Many homeowners notice more consistent temperatures from room to room, especially between levels. Bedrooms that used to be hot in the evening or chilly in the morning can become far more comfortable.
Better insulation and air sealing can also reduce how often your heating and cooling equipment runs. While the exact impact depends on your home and habits, cutting down on wasted energy is usually good news for utility bills and system wear. Our goal is to help your HVAC equipment work more efficiently instead of constantly fighting heat gain and heat loss through the attic.
There are comfort benefits beyond temperature as well. A well-insulated attic can help reduce some outside noise and cut down on drafts that make certain spots in the home unpleasant. In some situations, thoughtful air sealing at the attic level also helps limit pathways for dust from that space into your living areas.
Every home responds a bit differently, and we are careful not to promise a specific number on savings or temperature change. What we can do is design an attic project around your particular home and climate, with the clear aim of improving comfort and reducing unnecessary energy use over time.

How Do I Know If My Home Needs New Insulation?
Here are several signs that your home may need new insulation:
- Frozen Pipes
- Uneaven Temperatures Throughout Your Home
- Cold Floors
- High Energy Bills
- Drafts Around Windows and Doors
- Ice dams
Finally, consider the age of your insulation:
- Batt/Fiberglass. Fiberglass insulation should last roughly 7-10 years.
- Cellulose. Blown-in cellulose should last roughly 10-15 years.
- Spray Foam. Spray foam should last 80-100 years, or the age of the house (as long as it was installed properly).
Our experts can provide an accurate assessment of the state of your home’s insulation. We'll consider your energy efficiency with state-of-the-art technology and years of industry know-how.
