"I originally reached out to Eagle regarding insulation under my house. We discussed that job and then we discussed attic insulation, which I knew to be a problem, and they were able to complete both jobs at the same time. Dustin is very knowledgeable and able to offer solutions on the spot. All of the people that I have come into contact with, from Dustin and Justin to the workers involved and the salesman and office staff, were pleasant, courteous, and professional. The work was done well and at what I believe was a very fair price."

Ideally, you can add new insulation to your existing insulation. However, some circumstances require you to remove old insulation before adding any new insulation:
Removing old insulation is best left to a pro who can safely dispose of potential moldy or asbestos-ridden insulation.
The heat loss through a poorly insulated attic when you’re running your furnace or heat pump during cold weather can be as high as 25%. This means you could see significantly higher energy costs to make up for this heat loss. The cost of adding insulation to the attic may eventually pay for itself through lower energy bills. If you decide to add a radiant barrier too, the radiant barrier cost may also pay for itself over time.
The amount and type of insulation your home needs depends on your location, climate, and the specific installation area (attic, walls, or floors). Your local building code will typically determine the minimum required R-value. For specific recommendations, Energy Star suggests the following R-values: homes in the Southern U.S. should have R30 to R60 in attics and R13 to R25 in floors and walls; homes in moderate climates need R38 to R60 in attics and R25 to R30 in floors and walls; and homes in northern states require R49 to R60 in attics and R25 to R30 in floors and walls.
Regular inspections for moisture damage, pest infestations, and proper R-value performance help maintain efficiency.
Canned spray foam has an R-value of R-3.7 per inch. However, it’s not great for use as insulation. Also known as single-component spray foam, it doesn’t expand as much as two-part types that work for insulating the whole house. Save the canned foam for gaps around doors and windows.
