FAQ
What R-value do I need?
Attic: R-30 (warm) to R-60 (cold). Walls: R-13 (2×4) or R-21 (2×6). Check DOE climate zone map.
How many bags para 1,000 sq ft attic?
At R-49: ~20-25 bags of blown fiberglass (coverage varies by product). Check bag label.
Tax credit para insulation?
Eligibility and limits depend on current IRS rules; verify before relying on this estimate.
Can I install over existing insulation?
Yes para attics (add unfaced batts or blown-in perpendicular). Never add faced insulation over existing faced insulation (moisture trap).
