How HouseIt approaches insulation problems
Separate air leakage from insulation quantity and treat R-value calculations as product-specific approximations. This cluster is organized by decision type—diagnosis, severity, sizing, repair-versus-replace or selection—so several long-tail questions can use one deeper engine rather than generating duplicate tools.
What information changes the result
Common decision inputs in this cluster include R-value, attic insulation, air sealing, fiberglass, cellulose, existing depth, climate. HouseIt asks for these progressively and keeps unknown values explicit.
Where an online check stops
Keep clearances around heat-producing equipment and unsafe attic access explicit.
