Q: Should I remove old attic insulation before adding new?

• <div><p>Ideally, you can add new insulation to your existing insulation. However, some circumstances require you to remove old insulation before adding any new insulation: </p><ul><li><p>If the insulation is over 15 years old</p></li><li><p>If the insulation is wet or moldy</p></li><li><p>If it is <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-vermiculite-insulation.htm">vermiculite insulation</a></p></li><li><p>If you see signs of pest infestation</p></li></ul><p>Removing old insulation is best left to a pro who can safely dispose of potential moldy or asbestos-ridden insulation.</p></div>

Q: How thick should floor insulation be?

• <div><p>The thickness of floor insulation will depend on the R-value you plan to achieve. R-value varies on the type of material as well as its thickness and density. Insulation materials with low R-values can be layered to match the value of denser materials. As long as your floor insulation is packed tightly, seals the area from drafts, and doesn&rsquo;t prevent ventilation, it can be as thick (or thin) as you need.</p></div>

Q: What is the best insulation for HVAC ducting?

• <div><p>Fiberglass is the best insulation for HVAC ducting because it's inexpensive, widely available, versatile, and long-lasting. Fiberglass also offers acoustic insulation in addition to thermal insulation, which can contribute to a more peaceful home environment. You can use other materials like mineral wool, but fiberglass is the industry standard. </p></div>

Q: How does a radiant barrier work?

• <div><p>In addition to adding insulation to your attic, you may want to add a radiant barrier. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-does-radiant-barrier-work.htm">A radiant barrier works</a> by using reflective material, such as foil, on the attic floor. As heat penetrates the roof and enters the attic, the radiant barrier reflects the heat upward and back through the roof. If you receive a lot of direct sunlight on the roof, using both a radiant barrier and insulation in your attic can provide significant benefits.</p></div>

Q: Do insulation companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>In some areas, insulation companies require a special license, while some states only require them to hold general contractor licenses. Some municipalities may not mandate any license, although you should always ensure a contractor is fully insured. You can use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">license lookup tool</a> to confirm whether or not an insulation contractor you&rsquo;re considering holds the necessary license for your area. You can also contact the company for information regarding licenses, certifications, and insurance.</p></div>

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Ideally, you can add new insulation to your existing insulation. However, some circumstances require you to remove old insulation before adding any new insulation:

If the insulation is over 15 years old
If the insulation is wet or moldy
If it is vermiculite insulation
If you see signs of pest infestation

Removing old insulation is best left to a pro who can safely dispose of potential moldy or asbestos-ridden insulation.

The thickness of floor insulation will depend on the R-value you plan to achieve. R-value varies on the type of material as well as its thickness and density. Insulation materials with low R-values can be layered to match the value of denser materials. As long as your floor insulation is packed tightly, seals the area from drafts, and doesn’t prevent ventilation, it can be as thick (or thin) as you need.

Fiberglass is the best insulation for HVAC ducting because it's inexpensive, widely available, versatile, and long-lasting. Fiberglass also offers acoustic insulation in addition to thermal insulation, which can contribute to a more peaceful home environment. You can use other materials like mineral wool, but fiberglass is the industry standard.
