Rochester MN Home Inspections Recommendation On Attic Insulation

Attic insulation

When it gets cold outside we usually grab a blanket to help stay warm.  Wrap your home in a blanket by adding insulation to areas like the attic, basement walls, and crawlspaces.  Additional insulation can help to reduce your yearly energy costs and make your home more comfortable.

You can make the biggest impact to your energy savings by adding insulation to that attic area of your home.  If you are able to access your attic, make a general inspection of your average insulation depth.  A recommended R-Value for the Rochester and Southeastern MN area is between R49 and R60 for attics.  This can mean adding anywhere from 12-24 inches of blown fiberglass insulation on top of what you may already have in your attic.

I thought the  home inspection was very thorough.  Being a first time homebuyer,  I don’t have a lot of experience about things like electricity, sump pumps, etc.  I learned a lot of useful information about the home.

I appreciate that you took the time to explain everything in the home inspection in a way that I understood. Youe explanations made it much easier for me to understand the systems and components of the home.
