and enjoy moderate climate indoor

Attic insulation• Attic insulations may sometime refers to be

home insulations but this attic insulations is always a insulation done in roofs’

• The attic portion accepts all type of insulation regardless of fiberglass, cellulose, spray foam.

Why insulation is done?• The main reason of insulation is maintenance of

moderate temperature indoor. But there are still more beneficial factors like pest resistant, noise retarder, etc…

• But the second most important factor is reduction of energy loss.

How energy is reduced?• Insulation is simply said as a external protector, thus

for the house wherever the insulation is done, it does it function by acting as a obstacle for varying temperatures.

• Since attic is the place for frequent energy flow, it is necessary to install attic insulation in the specific area.

Points to consider for attic insulation installation

• Contact the energy inspectors:

• the energy inspectors completely inspects the house for the unwanted energy flow and the heat absorbing part and suggests the design procedures for the house.

• Decide for the place to insulate:• Insulation need not be done in all the places,

it can be done in particular place, else whole home insulation is also preferred in case of remodeling or new home built

• Make decision about the type of insulations:• Not all the insulations are utilized in all the

places, so the folks have to undertake some basic study about the insulations, in order to choose the right type.

• Be precise about the need:• Some folks insulate the

house for various purposes other than energy saving and moderate temperature like pest control, rodent control, radiation barrier, etc…

• The need should ne specified properly, in order to design accordingly.

Energy inspection as DIY

• Even non professional folks can do the energy inspection task with a simple equipment called “thermo scan”.

• This equipment perfectly scans the area for the heat energy and show indicates the difference in temperature with the variation in color.

• Thermoscan is designed to capture the heat signals and this used infrared light sources.

• This equipment measures the following are affected by

• Temperature• Sunlight• Moisture• wind

• The intervention of bugs and insects are more• the skin started to feel the cold or hot• The monthly utility bills gets the rapid

increases within a month• The walls, floors and ceilings began to absorb

the outside temperature.

How to find the house ready for insulation?

• These are the some overview on attic insulation installation benefits and the process

• Whatever the type insulation should be done in with care in order to be free from unwanted allergies and the major health hazards.
