Attic Insulation Services

Upgrading your attic insulation is one of the most effective ways to improve home comfort, reduce heat loss, and lower energy bills in Colorado’s extreme climate. A well-insulated attic keeps your home warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and helps your HVAC system run far more efficiently.

Colorado’s climate demands a well-insulated home. With temperatures swinging from below-freezing winters to blistering summer heat, your attic plays a major role in how comfortable — and efficient — your home feels. Insufficient attic insulation allows heat to escape in winter and makes your home absorb unwanted heat in summer, driving up energy bills year-round.

Upgrading your attic insulation helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures, reduces strain on your HVAC system, and delivers long-term savings for Denver-area homeowners. If you heat with Xcel Energy natural gas, you may even qualify for 30–60% back through Colorado energy rebates.

Why Attic Insulation Matters
In Colorado

Colorado homes experience some of the most dramatic temperature swings in the country — freezing winters, hot summers, and rapid shifts in between. Without proper attic insulation, your home loses heat in the winter and absorbs excess attic heat in the summer, leading to uncomfortable rooms and higher utility bills.

Upgrading to the correct Colorado R-value helps your home hold temperature more effectively, reduces how often your HVAC runs, and keeps every level of your home more comfortable. From older Denver bungalows to newer Front Range builds, proper attic insulation is one of the smartest ways to improve efficiency and reduce wasted energy.

Pairing insulation with air sealing (when needed) delivers the highest performance, but insulation alone can make a dramatic improvement for most Colorado homes.

Benefits of Attic Insulation 

Lower Energy Bills

Proper attic insulation helps prevent heat from escaping during winter and blocks excess heat from entering during summer. With less temperature fluctuation and reduced HVAC runtime, most Colorado homeowners see noticeable savings on their monthly utility bills.

Consistent, Year-Round Comfort 

Say goodbye to cold floors, hot upstairs rooms, and temperature swings around your home. Stop drafty hallways and uneven room temperatures.

Cleaner, Healthier Indoor Air

Upgrading insulation can help reduce the movement of dust, outdoor pollutants, and attic debris into your living space. Combined with proper air sealing (when needed), insulation supports cleaner indoor air across all Colorado seasons.

Colorado Home Rebate Savings

If your home heats with Xcel Energy natural gas, you may qualify for 30–60% rebates when upgrading your attic insulation. Colorado Home Services manages the entire rebate process so you receive the maximum savings available.

Our Attic Insulation Process

Attic Inspection, Testing & Evaluation

We begin with a full attic assessment to measure your existing insulation levels and identify areas where heat is escaping or entering your home. Using tools like thermal imaging and visual inspection, we determine whether your attic meets Colorado’s recommended R-value and pinpoint any issues that may reduce insulation performance. If needed, we’ll also check for air leaks and recommend sealing as an added improvement.

Air Sealing (If Recommended)

If our inspection shows that air leaks are reducing your insulation’s effectiveness, we may recommend targeted air sealing. This step focuses on closing small gaps and penetrations that allow heat to escape in winter or enter in summer. Sealing these areas ensures your new insulation performs at its highest level.
(For full details, see our Air Sealing Services page)

Attic Insulation Installation (New or Upgraded)

Once your attic is prepped, we install a thick, even layer of high-performance insulation — either blown-in fiberglass or blown-in cellulose — to reach the ideal Colorado R-value. Proper insulation reduces winter heat loss, minimizes summer attic heat gain, and helps your home maintain consistent temperatures all year long.

Colorado Home Energy Rebate Support

Many Xcel Energy customers who heat with natural gas qualify for 30–60% rebates on attic insulation upgrades. Colorado Home Services handles the entire rebate process on your behalf, ensuring you receive every dollar you’re eligible for immediately!

Final Testing & Professional Cleanup

After installation, we verify insulation depth, ensure proper coverage, and confirm that your home is performing more efficiently. We finish with a complete attic cleanup — leaving the space tidy, safe, and better protected against Colorado’s extreme climate and rapid temperature swings.

Colorado Attic Insulation Rebates

Xcel Energy offers generous rebates when you increase your attic insulation to meet recommended R-values. Homes across Denver, Colorado Springs, and the Front Range often see the largest savings, especially if their existing insulation levels are below current standards. Adding insulation not only boosts comfort but also reduces long-term heating and cooling costs.

We Handle The Rebate Process For You

Navigating rebate paperwork can be confusing and time-consuming — that’s why we handle it for you. Colorado Home Services manages every step of the rebate submission process, ensuring you receive the maximum amount available for your attic insulation upgrade

Inconsistent Room Temperatures

If some rooms feel colder in winter or warmer in summer, insufficient attic insulation is often the cause. Low R-value levels allow heat to escape in winter and attic heat to radiate downward during summer, which can also increase energy costs.

Cold Ceilings or Hot Upstairs Bedrooms

Touch your upstairs ceiling on a cold morning — if it feels unusually cold, heat is escaping through the attic. Likewise, if your upstairs rooms overheat in the summer, your insulation may not be blocking attic heat gain effectively.

Drafts, Breeze, or Noticeable Temperature Swings

Drafty hallways, cold spots, or sudden temperature shifts between rooms can indicate insufficient insulation coverage. While air sealing may also help, proper insulation is essential for maintaining stable temperatures across every level of your home.

Higher Heating & Cooling Bills

f your utility bills climb every season despite regular HVAC use, inadequate attic insulation may be forcing your system to work overtime. Upgrading insulation improves energy efficiency and can help reduce overall energy costs.

If these issues sound familiar, schedule an attic insulation evaluation so we can measure your current R-value and recommend upgrades tailored to your Colorado home.

Signs Your Home Needs Attic Insulation 

Many Colorado homes — especially older Denver, Colorado Springs, and Front Range properties — don’t have enough attic insulation to protect against our extreme seasonal temperature swings. If you’re noticing uneven temperatures or rising utility costs, your insulation may not meet recommended Colorado R-values.
