Proper attic insulation is certainly one of the best ways to weatherize your home, reduce energy bills, lessen humidity, reduce noise from the outside, and in combination with an efficient HVAC system, maintain a comfortable temperature day in and day out. With 9 of 10 homes in the U.S. being under-insulated, chances are, your home could need improvement. You can save as much as 10% on your electric bill by ensuring there are no air leaks and by having an adequate amount of insulation.
