The amount of attic insulation in your Las Vegas home can have a huge impact on your comfort and energy costs, whether it is winter, summer, or anywhere between. Insulation slows the loss of heat from your home in the winter and prevents heat gain from the underside of the roof in the summer. But what R-value do you need for a comfortable and efficient home?

A material’s effectiveness as insulation is classified by its R-value or its resistance to the flow of heat. A material with a high R-value offers better insulating performance, which can improve the effectiveness of your heating and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment while reducing your utility costs.

How Much Attic Insulation Do You Need?

In the Las Vegas area, the US Department of Energy recommends insulation rated between R-30 and R-60 in total for the attic. This would be about 12 to 24 inches of blown-in fiberglass insulation, or slightly less if your home has cellulose. If you have only a few inches of insulation in your attic floor, it is best to add more to bring it up to at least an R-30 rating.

What are the Benefits of Proper Insulation?
Having plenty of attic insulation in your Las Vegas home can help to:

• Keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter
• Improve indoor air quality and humidity control
• Increase HVAC performance, reduce costs, and maximize service life
• Keep your roof cooler and increase its lifespan
