When insulating your home, you can choose from many types of insulation. To choose the best type of insulation, you should first determine the following: Where you want or need to install/add insulation. The recommended R-values for areas you want to insulate.
How do I know the R-value thatâs appropriate for insulation in my home? Several factors affect the R-value your home needs: Where you live. You'll need insulation with a higher R-value if you live in a cold climate like the Northeast than if you live in a warm climate like Southern California. How your home is built, and where the insulation will be. Is it a single-level or multi-level structure? Do you have cathedral ceilings? Is there a basement, or is your home built on a slab? Each of these factors helps determine the level of insulation your home needs. How you heat and cool your home. Whether you have a furnace, central air conditioner, or a heat pump can make a difference in your insulation decisions.
