Summer's heat can be brutal, making us all crave a cool and comfortable home. But when it comes to keeping your home comfortable, many people overlook the importance of attic insulation – and it's not just a summer necessity! Here's why attic insulation is crucial for year-round comfort and energy efficiency:

Why Attics Attract Rodents

Attics provide the perfect haven for rodents: warm, quiet, and often easily accessible. They can exploit small gaps around vents, soffits, and rooflines to gain entry. Once inside, they find cozy nesting spots in your insulation, especially if it's damaged or matted down.

The Insulation-Rodent Connection

Rodents love to burrow and build nests in soft materials like fiberglass insulation. This damaged insulation loses its effectiveness, allowing heat to escape in the winter and enter in the summer. Additionally, rodent activity can create air gaps in the insulation, further reducing its insulating power.

Sealing Up Your Defenses

The key to stopping a rodent invasion is to eliminate entry points. Here's where Green Attic Insulation comes in:

  • Professional Inspection: Our experienced technicians will thoroughly inspect your attic, identifying potential entry points around vents, soffits, rooflines, and pipes.
  • Expert Sealing: We use high-quality materials and techniques to seal any gaps or holes, effectively rodent-proofing your attic.
  • Proper Insulation Installation: If your existing insulation is damaged by rodents, we can remove it safely and install new, high-quality insulation that's less attractive for nesting.

  • Improve Energy Efficiency: Properly sealed and insulated attics prevent heat transfer, leading to lower energy bills and a more comfortable home year-round.
