Confused by R-value? It's simpler than it sounds.

R-value measures how well insulation resists heat flow. The higher the number, the better it blocks heat, keeping your home cooler in July and warmer in January.

It's also cumulative. Adding a layer of insulation on top of an existing one raises the total R-value. NEPA attics generally need R-49 to R-60 for year-round performance.

Tightening the building envelope is the highest-impact move you can make before peak summer rates.

The fix starts with an inspection.
