How Much Blown Insulation Should Be In The Attic?
The amount of blown insulation you should have in your attic will depend on the type of insulation installed and the climate where you live. Generally, it is recommended to install between ten inches (25 cm) and fourteen inches (36 cm) of insulation in warmer climates, while colder climates require a slightly higher level of insulation.ย
To ensure that the correct amount of insulation is installed, it is best to work with experienced insulation contractors such as Attic Pros. They can use specialized equipment to measure and blow the ideal amount of insulation into your attic space. This will help ensure that you get the maximum energy efficiency from your attic insulation investment.ย
Is Blown-In Attic Insulation Good?
Blown-in attic insulation is often a good option for homeowners who have poor insulation in their attics. It can help reduce the amount of energy your air conditioner uses and keep your home cooler during the summer months. The installation process typically involves having an expert to come out and inspect your attic and clean it appropriately before installing the insulating material.ย
Is Attic Insulation A Fire Hazard?
Attic insulation is generally considered to be a fire hazard. It can act as fuel for a fire and, if it’s not properly maintained, may cause an attic fire. However, the risk of such a scenario occurring can be greatly reduced if proper precautions are taken. To help protect your home from potential attic fires, make sure to regularly inspect your insulation for signs of damage or deterioration. If you see anything concerning, replace it immediately.
How Big Is The Hole For Blown In Insulation?
The size of the hole for blown insulation depends on a few factors. It should be large enough so that insulation fibers can pass through it easily but not so big that air and heat can escape. For most applications, the standard opening for fiberglass is 2 to 4 inches wide and 1/2 inch deep. As an example, 6-8 inches of depth is usually enough to fill a standard attic.ย
Cellulose generally requires an even larger hole, with the recommended size being 3-5 inches wide and at least 1 inch deep. Ultimately, the size of the hole will be determined by the type and amount of insulation you are using. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when determining the size of the hole.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Attic insulation is one of the most important aspects of insulation in your home. While wall insulation is important too, it’s difficult to properly insulate walls without having adequate attic insulation already installed as a foundation. If you’re looking to make a big difference in your energy bills, you must have enough attic insulation.ย
The most efficient way to make sure you have enough insulation is to hire an insulation contractor such as Attic Pros for a professional insulation installation.
Water damage can cause issues with blown-in insulation in attic spaces. If the attic has been improperly cleaned or maintained, there is a chance that moisture or humidity can exist, which can lead to mold growth on fiberglass insulation.ย
Similarly, excess moisture trapped within spray foam insulation may also cause it to degrade over time. To avoid water damage, attic spaces should be properly cleaned and maintained to preserve the integrity of blown-in insulation.
