Attic Insulation Services in Connecticut & Rhode Island
Upgrade your home's energy efficiency with expert attic insulation from Dynamic Building & Energy Solutions. Serving homeowners across Connecticut and Rhode Island, we specialize in helping you stay warm in winter, cool in summer, and save on your energy bills year-round.
Homes with little or no insulation are often to blame for inconsistent indoor temperatures and rising energy costs, especially in older properties. The good news? Many Connecticut homeowners may qualify to have part of their insulation project covered at no cost. Learn More.
Your attic is one of the most important areas to insulate. In many older homes in CT and RI, poor attic insulation leads to heat loss, ice dams, high energy bills, and uncomfortable temperature swings.
With professionally installed attic insulation, you can:
Reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 20%
Eliminate drafts and improve comfort
Protect your roof and prevent ice damming
Improve indoor air quality and moisture control
Why Attic Insulation Matters in New England
Our Attic Insulation Services
-
Fiberglass Insulation
Fiberglass insulation is a cost-effective, eco-friendly option that works well in attics, especially in older homes. Made from fine glass fibers, it provides reliable thermal protection and noise reduction.
Flexible & Easy to Install – Ideal for attics, floors, and hard-to-reach areas
Energy Efficient – Helps lower heating and cooling bills year-round
Sound Dampening – Reduces outside noise for a quieter home
Eco-Friendly – Made from recycled materials with minimal environmental impact
Our team can help determine if fiberglass batts are the right fit for your attic during your free energy assessment.

Cellulose Attic Insulation
Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper and treated with fire- and pest-resistant materials, making it a safe, eco-friendly choice for attic insulation.
High R-Value – Excellent at keeping your home warm in winter and cool in summer
Green Material – Made from up to 85% recycled content
Sound Dampening – Naturally dense, it helps reduce noise from outside
Fire & Pest Resistant – Treated for safety and to deter insects
Air & Moisture Control – Fills gaps to block drafts and limit mold risks
Blown-in cellulose is especially effective in attics, where it settles into a seamless thermal layer. It’s a smart choice for improving comfort and cutting energy costs.

What is Air Sealing?
Air sealing your attic means closing gaps, cracks, and openings that let outside air in and conditioned air out. It's a key step before installing insulation — especially in older Connecticut and Rhode Island homes.
Common materials used:
Caulk & Weatherstripping – For small cracks and window/door frames
Expanding Foam – Around pipes, wiring, and large gaps
Rigid Foam Boards – To block airflow in attic cavities
Air Barriers & Tapes – For added protection in hard-to-seal areas
Benefits of attic air sealing:
Prevents drafts and temperature swings
Reduces moisture buildup and mold risk
Boosts indoor air quality by keeping out allergens
Less strain on your HVAC system = longer lifespan and lower bills
We include attic air sealing with many of our insulation projects for maximum energy savings.

Rockwool Thermal Insulation
Rockwool (also known as stone wool) is a high-performance insulation made from natural basalt rock and recycled slag, spun into dense, fire-resistant fibers.
Why it’s great for attics:
Excellent Thermal Barrier – Traps heat and blocks drafts year-round
Superior Sound Control – Reduces noise from wind, rain, and outside traffic
Fire Resistant – Non-combustible and ideal for added safety in attic spaces
Moisture & Mold Resistant – Won’t absorb water or promote mildew growth
Long-Lasting & Pest-Proof – Keeps its shape and doesn’t attract rodents or insects
Rockwool is ideal for attics that need both thermal protection and soundproofing, especially in multi-story homes.

Why Proper Attic Insulation Depth Matters
At Dynamic Building & Energy Solutions, we evaluate your attic’s current insulation depth and R-value to determine if it's meeting modern energy standards. Adequate insulation helps prevent heat from escaping in winter and entering in summer — creating a more stable, comfortable indoor environment while reducing your energy bills.
A well-insulated attic acts as a thermal barrier between your home and the outdoors, keeping warmth in during cold months and blocking heat during warmer seasons. This thermal control is key to year-round energy efficiency.
Preventing Ice Dams with Attic Insulation
Insufficient attic insulation can lead to ice dams, a common issue in New England winters. When warm air leaks from the attic, it heats the roof and melts snow. That meltwater then refreezes at the colder eaves, creating a dam that blocks proper drainage.
Over time, this trapped water can back up under shingles and leak into your ceilings or walls — causing expensive water damage. Proper attic insulation and air sealing help maintain an even roof temperature and stop ice dams before they start.
Quality attic insulation is one of the smartest investments in your property. The benefits include:
-
Lower Energy Bills
-
Environmental Impact
-
Noise Reduction
-
Improved Comfort
