That’s a good question to ask – especially to your home inspector! The insulation levels in your attic have a direct bearing on your energy usage, and ultimately your bills.
Depending on the age of your home, you could have anywhere from R-10 to R-45 and up. There are even times where parts of a home are even missing insulation altogether. So what is the right level for you?
The average household does well with about R-25. But that does not mean that if you have less than that that it is “deficient”. In fact, most older homes do not have that at all. It is not a defect, but rather something that could be improved upon. Want to know how much insulation you have in your attic? Then contact me today!
