Attic Insulation in Maryland
Your attic is the highest-impact area for energy efficiency in most Maryland homes. Heat rises out through the ceiling in winter and radiates down into your living space in summer. Bringing your attic to the correct R-value for Maryland's climate makes your home more comfortable and less expensive to heat and cool year-round.York Home Performance is a BGE Home Performance with ENERGY STAR approved contractor serving homeowners throughout Maryland. We install blown-in, batt, and spray foam attic insulation and help Maryland homeowners qualify for BGE rebates of up to $7,500.
Why Attic Insulation Is the Right Starting Point in Maryland
Maryland’s climate presents both heating and cooling challenges. Hot, humid summers mean your attic is absorbing heat and transferring it into the living space below. Cold winters mean heat is escaping through an inadequately insulated attic ceiling. The attic is the single highest-return insulation investment in most Maryland homes.
Signs your Maryland home’s attic may need attention:
- Energy bills that feel high relative to your home’s size
- Upper floors that are noticeably warmer in summer than lower floors
- Ice dams forming at the roof edge in winter
- Rooms that are hard to keep comfortable regardless of HVAC settings
- An attic with less than R-38 of existing insulation
