Attic Insulation in Aledo
The Benefits of Good Insulation
Are you looking for ways to save money on your power bill? One of the most effective ways is to make your home more energy efficient. In addition to sealing windows and doors, you should consider adding insulation to your attic.
A well-insulated attic improves HVAC functioning and can also help protect your indoor air quality. It does this by:
- Reducing pollutants: Attic insulation is a barrier to prevent outdoor contaminants such as dust, pollen, and smog from entering the home.
- Limiting moisture: Properly installed insulation helps to keep moisture out, which can reduce the growth of mold and mildew that compromise air quality.
- Minimizing indoor temperature fluctuations: Attic insulation helps maintain stable indoor temperature and humidity levels, reducing the need for heating and cooling systems to constantly cycle on and off, thereby preventing the circulation of dust and allergens.

Is Your Attic Properly Insulated? Here's How to Tell
Identifying whether your attic has adequate insulation is crucial for maintaining energy efficiency in your home. Without the right amount of insulation, you could lose heat in the winter and gain too much of it in the summer. Here in Texas, managing the heat is critical, and with poor or no attic insulation, you are looking at much higher energy bills.
If you notice any of the following issues, you might need new or better attic insulation:
- Unusual temperature fluctuations: If rooms in your home experience inconsistent temperatures, it could be a sign of inadequate attic insulation.
- High energy bills: An unexpected increase in heating or cooling costs often signals poor insulation, allowing air to escape.
- Icicles or ice dams in winter: These form when heat escapes through the roof, melting the snow that refreezes at the edge.
- Cold floors and walls in winter or hot indoor air in summer: This discomfort is a classic symptom of insufficient insulation in the attic space.
How Much Insulation Do I Need?
The amount of insulation you need will depend on your climate. The U.S. Department of Energy has developed recommended R-values for each area of the country. The R-value measures the insulation’s resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the more effective the insulation.
In Aledo, the recommended attic insulation R-values are 38-49.
You can inspect the insulation material and thickness to determine your current attic insulation's R-value. The R-value is usually printed on the insulation batts or can be estimated by measuring the thickness of the insulation layer with a ruler.
Common Types of Insulation
There are many different types of insulation to choose from, and the best insulation for your home will depend on various factors. For example, if you need to insulate a small space, you may want to choose spray foam insulation because it can easily fit into small areas.
If you are looking for more affordable insulation, you may want to choose fiberglass or cellulose insulation. Mineral wool is another common residential insulation material, and it offers excellent fire resistance.

Steve did a great job with the AC maintenance on our unit. He let me know what was checked and if anything needed to be addressed.

This is an awesome company to do business with. Every member of the team is polite, helpful and always willing to answer questions. I love how responsive the office staff is when setting appointments. The service techs are always well dressed and clean, respectful enough to remove their boots before entering the house, always willing to answer questions. The techs go over all the details of what they are doing and what the find while servicing the equipment. Over all just very professional and comfortable to deal with. I personally like the text message I receive prior to the techs arrival. It tells me his name, professional background, certifications and even a snippet about his family. They definitely got the extra mile to ensure their customers are well taken care of. My husband loves that the pricing is always fair and represents the companies desire to give the best and honest service.- Michelle M.

Danny and Derek were amazing! Extremely respectful and kind, as two single women with children in the home we were very comfortable with them, (even my dog who is typically scared of men from a rough beginning of life before we rescued her was perfectly fine with them in our home!) They were polite and professional. They were honest with what we needed and what we didn’t need, they even went above and beyond and helped us change a few light bulbs (as we don’t own a tall ladder). We will be recommending them to anyone who needs any HVAC services, and we will continue to use them for any maintenance or repairs in our home! Great job guys!- Marissa G.
