June's heating up fast in Northeast Arkansas, and if your upstairs feels like an oven while your AC runs constantly, your attic insulation is probably the culprit.
Here are the telltale signs your attic needs more insulation: Uneven temperatures between floors (upstairs 5+ degrees hotter), ice dams forming on your roof edges last winter, or energy bills that spike every summer despite normal usage. You might also notice drafts near ceiling fixtures or actual frost in your attic during cold snaps.
Most homes in our area need R-38 to R-49 in the attic (that's 12-16 inches of blown cellulose or 6-8 inches of spray foam). If you can see your ceiling joists through existing insulation, you're probably sitting at R-19 or less — nowhere near code.
The math is simple: proper attic insulation can cut your cooling costs by 15-25% during our brutal July and August heat. That's $200-400 back in your pocket every summer, plus your upstairs bedrooms actually become livable again.
Before the real heat hits Jonesboro, now's the perfect time to upgrade. We're seeing 2-week turnarounds right now versus the 4-6 week waits you'll face in peak summer.
