Palomo Insulation is a key component of your home’s energy efficiency. It prevents warm air from escaping your living spaces in winter and cold air from seeping into them during the summer. It can also reduce outside noise and help maintain more consistent temperatures throughout the house. This helps your HVAC system run more efficiently and extends its lifespan. According to the EPA, adding insulation to your attic can reduce your heating and cooling bills by up to 15% each year.

There are four common types of attic insulation. Each has its own pros and cons, as well as different R-values. Fiberglass batts are the most common choice because they’re affordable and easy to install yourself. They can be purchased in a variety of R-values, but R-30 is generally recommended to save the most money on your energy bill.

How Palomo Insulation Improves Indoor Air Quality

Rigid foam insulation comes in sheets of polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, or polyurethane. It is easy to cut and fit into place, and it provides a high R-value per inch. However, it can compress over time and isn’t as effective as other materials. It can also absorb moisture and mold, and it requires a vapor barrier to prevent water damage.

Cellulose insulation, made from recycled paper and wood products, is often offered in the loose-fill format. It is very effective at filling in small gaps and oddly shaped areas, and it’s fire-retardant and pest-resistant. It can, however, be prone to moisture retention and mold growth, which could require replacement over time.
