Insulation is a key component to maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature and supporting energy efficiency. It’s available in a wide range of forms and different types are designed for use in various areas of your home or building. Whether it’s attic insulation or wall insulation, there are several factors that influence the type you choose and how much of your home it will cover.

In general, it’s more cost-effective to add attic insulation than wall insulation. However, the best approach depends on your local climate, the dimensions of your attic space and whether or not you want to remove drywall. In addition, if there’s any mechanical equipment in the attic or knob-and-tube wiring, you’ll need to have those components addressed first.

Wall vs Attic Insulation: Which One Should You Prioritize?

Upgrading your attic’s insulation prevents heat from escaping upward, thereby keeping living spaces warm in winter and cool in summer. It also helps minimize how hard your heating and cooling systems have to work.

While wall insulation is less expensive than attic insulation, it can still be a significant investment for many homeowners. It’s important to weigh your options carefully and to speak with a certified insulation installer before making any decisions.

If your attic and walls are insulated but your home feels drafty or too hot, wall insulation may be the right choice for you. It’s particularly effective for homes built over unheated garages, in basements, and in heated rooms above ground level. It reduces noise between interior rooms and is a great option for bathrooms and home offices.
