6. Insulation for Attics
Ends in: 15 to 20 years
Average Cost: $1,500* (based on typical house installation costs)
Although it can lose its effectiveness over a period of 15 to 20 years, attic insulation is a silent but vital component of your home’s energy efficiency. Its R-value, a measurement of thermal resistance, is compromised by settling or moisture exposure, which raises the cost of heating and cooling.

The performance of compacted, wet, or pest-infested insulation is diminished. Evaluating and perhaps replacing your attic insulation guarantees the best possible control of your home’s temperature, lowers energy costs, and improves comfort. It preserves a barrier against the vagaries of the weather and is an investment in the sustainability and health of your house.
