Q: Is it OK to put plywood over insulation in an attic?

• <div><p>Installing sheets of plywood over <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/attic-insulation-guide.htm">attic insulation</a> is a popular choice, especially in storage spaces. That said, insulation works by trapping hot air&mdash;so it needs extra space to expand and be effective, or you might reduce the energy efficiency of your home. </p><p>It&rsquo;s important that you never compress the insulation by installing flooring directly on top of it. In many houses, you&rsquo;ll need to install a subfloor before putting plywood over insulation in your attic.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain insulation?

• <div><p>Regular inspections for moisture damage, pest infestations, and proper R-value performance help maintain efficiency.</p></div>

Q: What type of window covering is most energy efficient?

• <div><p>When it comes to window coverings, cellular shades are typically known as the most energy-efficient option. Cellular shades are also known as honeycomb shades. They are made of a soft fabric and take the form of &ldquo;honeycomb&rdquo; cells. These cell pockets trap air in and around your windows, providing insulation.</p></div>

Q: How much difference does a radiant barrier make?

• <div><p>According to a report from <a href="https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/radiant-barriers#:~:text=Some%20studies%20show%20that%20radiant,to%20add%20a%20radiant%20barrier.">Energy.gov</a>, radiant barrier installations can save between 5% and 10% on your energy bill each month that your HVAC cooling is in operation. That fact can mean savings of up to more than $325 per year for homes that experience frequent direct sunlight and high summer temperatures. </p></div>
