Your attic plays a major role in your home’s comfort and how much energy it takes to heat and cool your living space. When warm air escapes through ceiling gaps or insulation isn’t doing its job, your heating and cooling systems have to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature.
At Mohawk Valley Spray Foam, we help homeowners identify and address attic problems that contribute to drafts, uneven temperatures, moisture concerns, and higher energy bills.
As an Attic Systems dealer, we have access to specialized products and technical support from a company with more than 30 years of insulation experience. We use those resources to evaluate your attic and recommend improvements based on what your home needs.
Warm air naturally rises. During the winter, that air can escape into your attic through gaps and openings in the ceiling. As it leaves, colder outside air can enter through lower areas of the home, creating drafts and making rooms harder to heat.
In the summer, attic heat can also make it harder to keep your living spaces cool.
That’s why we often start with the attic when evaluating a home’s comfort and energy efficiency. Proper insulation and air sealing can help reduce unwanted heat transfer and air leakage, keeping conditioned air where it belongs.
We also look beyond the attic when needed. Our approach considers three areas of the home:
Seeing how these areas work together helps us identify what contributes to drafts, temperature differences, and energy loss.
Even small openings in your attic can contribute to unwanted air movement. During an evaluation, we pay particular attention to areas where air commonly escapes.
Recessed or canister lights installed in the ceiling can create openings between your living space and the attic. Properly sealing these areas helps reduce air leakage.
Where a chimney passes through the home into the attic, gaps around it can allow heated air to escape. Addressing these openings with appropriate materials helps reduce air leakage.
An attic hatch or pull-down ladder can be a significant source of heat loss when it isn't properly sealed. We offer an attic access cover designed to help keep heated air in your living space during winter and attic heat out during summer.
Addressing insulation and air leakage can noticeably improve how your home performs year-round.
Reducing heat loss and unwanted air movement can help your heating and cooling equipment use less energy.
Proper insulation and air sealing can help reduce drafts and temperature differences throughout your home.
Limiting warm, moist indoor air from reaching cold attic surfaces can help reduce condensation concerns.
Sealing gaps that let air move from damp basements or other unconditioned spaces into living areas can reduce unwanted air and odors entering your home.
Our process is simple. Contact our team to discuss your attic insulation and air-sealing needs.
Tell us about the issues you're experiencing, whether it's drafts, uneven temperatures, or high energy bills. We'll help you determine next steps to evaluate your attic and identify potential improvements.
After we evaluate your home's needs, we'll discuss recommended insulation, air sealing, or ventilation improvements so you can decide how to move forward.
Drafty rooms, uneven temperatures, and high heating or cooling bills can all be signs that your attic needs attention. An evaluation can identify where air is escaping and whether insulation or air-sealing improvements may help.
It depends on your home’s condition. Insulation slows heat transfer, while air sealing closes gaps where conditioned air escapes. Both can improve comfort and energy efficiency, and an evaluation can help you determine what your home needs.
Proper attic insulation and air sealing can help reduce conditions that contribute to condensation, particularly when warm, moist indoor air escapes into a cold attic. Ventilation and other moisture sources may also need to be evaluated. Learn more about our available insulation products.
