Attic insulation helps maintain the temperature of your home, and can also save you some money in the long run on electricity. Learning how to install attic insulation is not so tough, but might require a little bending and effort to get into some small spaces.

Most people want to know how to install fiberglass insulation, so that will be the discussion here. The first thing you will want to do is get all the materials and tools you will need to perform the job successfully. This includes having the right amount of insulation to complete the job as well as a utility knife to cut the insulation.

Start adding some plywood across areas in the attic to give you the proper working space to stand or kneel. Make sure you have plenty of light and ventilation so you can breath.

Start at the outer edge when you begin laying the insulation. Make sure that the joist cavities are filled fully so that there is no room for air to escape. You may add insulation on the walls as well, but make sure that it is at least 5-6 inches away from light fixtures.

Close any other unwanted openings with smaller pieces of insulation, and the job should be done. Thats it! Easy wasn’t it. Now its time for you to go and get all cleaned up.
