All the costs are covered by the City directly.

How do you know if you have enough attic insulation?

Take a look at your attic floor. If you can see the joists, there’s a good chance you need more insulation. A qualified contractor can help determine how much more you need by measuring your R-value – a simple measure based on the depth and type of insulation you have.

Why is insulation important? A poorly insulated attic loses as much heat as a window left open all winter. Current building practices recommend an R-60 value for attics, but many homes were built to a lower standard.

Insulation can also degrade over time. Knowing the R-value of your attic insulation can be the first step in lowering your electric bills. It also helps fight climate change, since energy use in buildings is the largest source of emissions in Iowa City.
