Attic Insulation FAQ

Common questions about attic insulation in Alaska.

What R-value do I need for my Alaska attic?

Alaska building code requires minimum R-49 for attic insulation in most areas. We typically recommend R-49 to R-60 for South-Central Alaska, depending on your specific home and heating system. Interior Alaska may benefit from R-60 or higher.

Will spray foam prevent ice dams?

Yes! Ice dams are caused by heat loss through the attic. Spray foam insulation combined with complete air sealing stops this heat loss at the source, eliminating ice dam formation. This is the most effective solution for Alaska's ice dam problems.

Can I install attic insulation in winter?

Yes, we work year-round in Alaska. Spray foam can be applied in cold weather with proper equipment and techniques. Winter is actually a great time because thermal imaging clearly shows heat loss patterns.

Do I need to remove old insulation first?

Not always. If existing insulation is clean, dry, and in good condition, spray foam can often be applied over it. However, contaminated, wet, or moldy insulation should be removed first for health and performance reasons.

How long does attic insulation installation take?

Most residential attic insulation projects take 1-2 days depending on size and access. We complete thermal inspection, preparation, installation, and verification with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

What's the payback period for attic insulation?

In Alaska's climate, most homeowners see 30-50% reduction in heating costs. With typical energy savings of $1,500-3,000 per year, payback period is usually 3-7 years. Plus, you get immediate comfort improvements and ice dam prevention.
