Attic Insulation in Mobile, AL
Most Gulf Coast homes have R-19 in the attic — far below what our climate actually needs. Upgrading to R-38 or R-49 typically pays for itself in 2–4 summers.

Why Insulation Matters Here
Mobile sits in DOE Climate Zone 2. Minimum code for new construction is R-38; recommended is R-49 for maximum comfort and efficiency. Yet most homes built before 2010 have only R-19 — less than half what they should.
The result: your AC runs nonstop trying to keep up with heat pouring through the attic, your power bill balloons, and upstairs rooms are always 5 degrees warmer than the downstairs. Upgrading attic insulation fixes all three problems at once.
Insulation Options
Blown-in fiberglass. The most common and cost-effective option. We blow it on top of existing insulation to reach R-38 or R-49.
Cellulose. A dense blown-in alternative made from recycled material that also tops up existing insulation to R-38 or R-49.
Batt insulation. A good fit when attic access or design calls for it.
Pair With Duct Work
Maximum ROI comes from combining insulation with Aeroseal duct sealing and — if needed — a professional duct cleaning. Together these three upgrades typically cut Gulf Coast summer power bills by 30–40%.
