Your attic affects the temperature throughout your home year-round. Heat rises and escapes through the attic space in winter, while hot air builds up in summer. Without the proper insulation levels, your HVAC system works harder, costing you more.
Upgrading your insulation helps:
If you notice discomfort, high bills, or drafts, you may need more attic insulation.
There are several types of attic insulation to consider, each offering a different r-value and benefit. At Top AC Repair Conroe TX, we explain each type of insulation and help you make the best choice for your home.
Fiberglass batt insulation is the most common choice for attics. It’s cost-effective and easy to install between joist spaces. Fiberglass offers an r-value per inch of about 2.9–3.8 and resists moisture and pests.
Benefits:
Blown-in insulation (also called loose-fill insulation) uses a blowing machine to distribute materials like fiberglass or cellulose. It fills hard-to-reach gaps and creates even coverage.
This is ideal for topping off existing insulation or when you want to add new insulation on top of an older layer.
Spray foam insulation expands upon application to seal gaps and cracks, creating a strong air barrier that significantly reduces energy leaks. With one of the highest R-values—ranging from 6 to 7 per inch—it offers exceptional thermal resistance. This type of insulation is ideal for sealing the roof deck and is especially effective in homes where energy efficiency is a top priority. Because of its complexity, spray foam requires professional installation to ensure proper application and performance. It also reduces the need for additional air sealing and insulation, making it a comprehensive solution. Although it comes with a higher upfront cost, the long-term energy savings make it a smart investment for homeowners looking to improve comfort and efficiency.
Made from recycled paper, cellulose is eco-friendly and provides effective coverage. It is fire-treated and performs well against pests. Its insulation r-value makes it suitable for irregular cavities and older homes.
Mineral wool insulation (also called wool insulation) is made from natural rock or slag. It’s fire-resistant, water-resistant, and offers good soundproofing. Mineral wool has a high r-value and is often used in fire-rated assemblies.
Rigid foam insulation offers a high r-value and is ideal for roof deck insulation or cathedral ceilings. It provides a continuous barrier and is often used in combination with other insulation materials.
The r-value of insulation measures resistance to heat flow. The higher the r-value, the greater the insulation power. Proper insulation r-values depend on location, attic design, and insulation materials used. In Texas, the Department of Energy recommends an r-value of R-30 to R-60 for attics. We help you assess how much insulation your attic needs and what products achieve the target.
At Top AC Repair Conroe TX, every insulation project is guided by a structured and proven plan to ensure optimal results. We begin with a detailed home energy assessment to evaluate your current insulation levels and identify areas of improvement. A ventilation check follows to ensure your attic has proper airflow, which is essential for long-term efficiency and moisture control. Based on your home’s needs, we recommend the best insulation materials for your specific situation.
If old insulation needs to be removed, we handle the process safely and thoroughly. We then seal any gaps or cracks to stop unwanted airflow before installing new insulation for complete, consistent coverage. Throughout the entire process, we prioritize proper layout, effective ventilation, and airtight sealing to maximize your home’s comfort and performance.
Before you add insulation, it’s critical to close gaps where air directly into the attic enters. Air leaks allow air in your home to escape, making your HVAC system work harder. Our team provides complete air sealing services to support proper insulation. This allows attic space to stay cool in summer and dry in winter, keeping insulation materials effective.
You may need more insulation if you’re experiencing noticeable temperature shifts between floors, as this often indicates uneven thermal protection. An under-insulated or exposed attic is another clear sign that your home could benefit from additional insulation. High energy bills, HVAC systems that run constantly, or the presence of ice forming on your roof during colder months can also point to insufficient insulation. Additionally, if you see compressed or damaged fiberglass batt in your attic or walls, it’s likely time to upgrade or replace the material to restore your home’s energy efficiency and comfort.
If any apply, call us to assess if you need more attic insulation. Adding or upgrading insulation increases your home’s energy performance.
Each insulation type has strengths. Here’s how they compare:
| Feature | Spray Foam | Blown-In | Fiberglass Batt |
|---|---|---|---|
| R-Value Per Inch | 6–7 | 2.2–3.8 | 2.9–3.8 |
| Air Seal | Excellent | Moderate | Low |
| DIY Friendly | No | With equipment | Yes |
| Cost | High | Moderate | Low |
| Coverage | Full seal | Even layer | Between joists |
If you want a strong air seal and are ready for a professional installation, spray foam delivers. For flexible, cost-effective upgrades, blown-in insulation works well.
Some materials carry a fire hazard when improperly installed. We select products with safety ratings and install them to code. Mineral wool, cellulose, and certain fiberglass types offer fire resistance. We also maintain required clearance around heat sources, follow Energy Star guidance, and keep your home compliant with modern safety standards.
We work with industry-trusted brands known for delivering consistent, high-quality results. Every insulation material we install is carefully selected for its high R-value, ensuring effective thermal performance. We also consider compatibility with your existing systems, durability for long-term protection, and full compliance with local building codes. Our recommendations are always tailored to your goals, attic layout, and HVAC system type, giving you a customized solution that meets both comfort and efficiency needs
