Yes, new insulation can be placed over existing insulation without much complication in most circumstances. However, you should first carefully inspect the existing insulation to ensure it isn’t damp or otherwise compromised.
Hiding damaged insulation behind new insulation will cost you more in the long run than removing it and replacing it. If your existing insulation looks good, know that you don’t need as much as you would when replacing it (see the next question for more details).
ENERGY STAR® recommendations for attic R-values are determined by which climate zone your home is in — in Albany and most nearby areas, that’s Zone 5. For this category, you want between R-49 and R-60 worth of insulation in your attic, assuming you’re installing new insulation.
If you’re adding insulation and already have 3 to 4 inches of insulation in good condition, you can cut that to R-38 to R-49 worth of insulation.
A few factors determine how much attic insulation you need in total, and the R-value is only part of the equation. In addition to hitting your energy-efficiency goals in terms of R-value, attic insulation also helps keep moisture, air pollution and noise pollution out of your home.
Depending on what problems you have with your attic, filling small nooks and crannies with the right kind of insulation might be more important than hitting your target R-value, or at least just as important.
If you have goals beyond energy efficiency and keeping heat from passing through your attic, be sure to speak with experts about your goals and needs.
