Start with the existing attic
Tell the installer what insulation is present if known, where it is missing or disturbed, and how the attic is accessed. Share an existing inspection report rather than assuming every comfort issue comes from insufficient insulation.
Define the upgrade boundary
Ask whether the proposal adds to existing material or removes it, which areas are included, and how obstructions and attic storage are handled. List air sealing and any repairs separately so two totals describe the same work.
Ask how the building will function afterward
Have the installer explain the planned attic assembly and coordination around equipment. Obtain the product information, installation scope and access or occupancy instructions. Do not treat a general savings claim as a prediction for your home.
| Scope item | Confirm before agreeing |
|---|---|
| Existing material | Retained, removed or supplemented areas and disposal. |
| Coverage | Ceiling, roof or other surfaces, with exclusions marked. |
| Coordination | Air sealing, equipment access and any related trade work. |
Details to gather
- Existing material if known
- Attic access and storage
- Affected rooms and timing of discomfort
- Any roof or inspection records
Compare a defined area and material specification rather than a whole-house savings promise.
Questions about this request
Should old attic insulation always be removed?
The condition and proposed work need assessment. Ask why removal is included or excluded and what findings could change that decision.
Will an insulation upgrade solve a hot room?
Ask for the assessment behind the proposal. Insulation, air leakage and HVAC distribution may need separate investigation; this form does not diagnose the cause.
