Losing Money on Energy Bills? Your Attic Is the Problem | Fix Your Attic Insulation (DIY Guide)

Most people don’t realize their attic is one of the biggest money leaks in their home… and this one was no exception. This attic only had about R24, which doesn’t meet today’s standards where I am, meaning heat was escaping in the winter and getting trapped in the summer. So instead of letting energy bills keep climbing, I decided to tackle it myself and bring it up to spec using Johns Manville Climate Pro B-7012. I walk through everything step by step in this video - from fixing airflow with proper air baffles, handling tricky areas like attic overhangs, and making sure clearances around a B-vent are done safely, all the way to blowing in the insulation and hitting the right R-value. If you’re a DIYer, this is 100% something you can take on yourself with the right prep. The biggest thing people get wrong isn’t the insulation… it’s the setup. Once airflow is handled properly, the rest becomes a lot more straightforward. And the best part? This isn’t just about comfort… it’s about saving money. Proper attic insulation helps keep heat inside during the winter, keeps it out during the summer, and reduces the load on your HVAC system… which means lower energy bills over time. I used Johns Manville Climate Pro because it’s a blown-in fiberglass insulation made from recycled glass that fills every gap and gives consistent coverage across the entire attic. It’s easy to work with, forgiving for DIY, and gets the job done right. The real question is… Is your attic properly insulated, or are you losing money without even knowing it?
