What are the benefits for insulation for new construction?
There are many benefits for what we call ‘builders insulation’ or insulation in new construction of homes.
Aside from improving the comfort level of your home, new construction insulation provides energy efficiency for HVAC systems. This keeps indoor temperatures at a comfortable level even as the outside temperature fluctuates from season to season.
This aids in lower utility bills and less wear and tear on equipment. Insulation can also reduce noise traveling into or out from the home, improving privacy and peace in your home.

The amount of insulation needed depends on your goals. In Central Virginia where Vance Insulation serves 100’s of clients each year, Attics are required an R value of 49 in vented attics and an R value of 15 for walls and floors.
