Expert Answers to Common Insulation Questions
Keep Your Home Comfortable Year-RoundInsulation replacement is a major upgrade, and homeowners often want clarity on materials, longevity, and signs of damage. These FAQs provide the insight you need to move forward confidently.
Insulation slows heat transfer between your living spaces and the outdoors. In Southern climates, this means less heat entering your home in summer and less conditioned air escaping through the attic or walls. When insulation reaches the correct R-value and is paired with proper air sealing, your HVAC system runs less often, which lowers cooling costs and extends equipment lifespan.
Yes. Proper insulation reduces temperature swings that cause moisture buildup on surfaces. When paired with adequate attic ventilation and sealed air leaks, insulation stabilizes humidity levels and prevents mold growth, especially important in Alabama and Georgia’s high-moisture climate.
Not always. If the existing insulation is dry, clean, and free from pest contamination, it can serve as a base layer. However, insulation should be removed if it is:
Our team evaluates conditions before recommending removal or augmentation.Blown-in fiberglass or cellulose typically performs best in Southern attics due to their ability to fill gaps and resist settling. Homes needing higher R-values or improved air sealing often benefit from pairing blown-in insulation with spray foam around penetrations or framing. Choice depends on budget, structure, and performance goals.
