How sizing works
Attic R-Value Checker turns a broad homeowner question into a structured decision. The answer changes with the facts you enter rather than assuming one answer fits every home.
Inputs that actually change the size
HouseIt focuses on the facts that actually change the decision: scope, age, capacity, condition, demand, climate, safety signs and how the system is used. Unknown answers reduce certainty instead of forcing a guess.

How to use the result
Attic R-Value Checker turns a broad homeowner question into a structured decision. The answer changes with the facts you enter rather than assuming one answer fits every home.
When a formal calculation is needed
Use the result to prepare better information for a qualified professional when the job involves licensing, structural assessment, energized electrical work, gas, refrigerant, roof access or measurements that cannot be verified online.
How HouseIt reaches this result
HouseIt combines the answers you enter with the decision mode for this tool—sizing. It uses the combination of facts rather than treating one symptom, age threshold or rule of thumb as definitive.
What this tool cannot verify remotely
HouseIt cannot inspect concealed conditions, confirm code compliance, perform licensed calculations, measure electrical or combustion conditions, or replace an on-site professional diagnosis where one is required.
What this HouseIt tool considers
Separate air leakage from insulation quantity and treat R-value calculations as product-specific approximations. The decision flow uses inputs such as R-value, attic insulation, air sealing, fiberglass, cellulose, existing depth, climate, but only where they can change the result.
