If you’re
looking for your next home improvement project and want to do something
sensible that has immediate returns on your investment, consider
upgrading your attic insulation. More than any other place in the
home, quality insulation in the attic promises to give you the most
benefits. Studies show that most homes will pay for the cost of
installing attic insulation within 3-6 years. Attic insulation is
one of best functional home improvement projects out there.
Insulating an Attic
from the Heat and the Cold. More heat is lost through poor attic insulation
than from any other place in your home. If you think about it, it makes
sense. Heat rises and when it rises through your home, it ends up leaking
through the attic. On the other hand, many attics are the farthest place
in the home from the central air conditioning and can be the hottest room
in the house. Thus, attics need to be insulated from the heat and the
cold. Whether you’re trying
to improve the energy-efficiency of your home or make your attic space
comfortable, attic insulation is almost universally a great idea.
What is an ice dam:
Ice dams usually occur after a heavy snowfall and several days of freezing
temperatures. Warm air inside your home leaks into the attic and will
warm the underside of the roof causing snow and ice on the roof to melt.
The melted water will drain along the roof, under the snow, until it
reaches the cold overhang. The overhang tends to be at the same temperature
as the outdoors and the melted water will refreeze and form an ice dam
and icicles. The ice dam can cause damage to the roof, which will result
in water leaks to the inside. Frequently the result will be a water
spot on the ceiling under the roof damage.
