Attic Insulation Broomfield, CO | Level Up Insulation
The highest-ROI home upgrade in Broomfield and Xcel Energy will help pay for it.
Attic insulation is the single most impactful energy upgrade available to Broomfield homeowners and it’s not close. Your attic is responsible for up to 35% of your home’s heat loss in winter and 25% of your heat gain in summer. In Broomfield’s climate, where January lows hit single digits and summer attics can exceed 140°F, that gap in your building envelope costs you hundreds of dollars every year. Level Up Insulation installs broomfield attic insulation across the area always paired with professional air sealing, always to Xcel Energy rebate specifications, and always with a free assessment that tells you exactly what you have and what you need.
Why Broomfield
Why Broomfield Attic Insulation is Different From Other Markets
Attic insulation in Broomfield homes must perform in conditions most insulation manufacturers design around, not for. Colorado’s current Energy Code requires R-49 in residential attics but the vast majority of Broomfield homes built before 1990 are sitting at R-11 to R-19 from their original installation. That’s not a slight underperformance. At Broomfield’s altitude, where the thinner atmosphere reduces HVAC efficiency and temperature swings are more dramatic than at sea level, an R-11 attic is genuinely failing your home.
The gap between where most Broomfield attics are and where they should be is exactly why Xcel Energy’s rebate program for attic insulation is so generous up to $800 for qualifying projects. The energy math works strongly in your favor along the Front Range: every R-value point you add to a Broomfield attic saves more energy than the same upgrade would save in a milder climate. Level Up’s free attic assessment gives you a precise current R-value reading, documents what you need, and qualifies you for Xcel’s pre-approval before any work begins.
TYPES OF ATTIC INSULATION
Attic Insulation Options for Broomfield Homes
The right attic insulation for your Broomfield home depends on your current situation, your goals, and whether your HVAC equipment is located in the attic. Here’s how the main options compare:
Blown-In Attic Insulation — Most Common in Broomfield
- R-2.2 to R-3.8 per inch (fiberglass or cellulose)
- Best for irregular Broomfield attics with obstructions
- Most cost-effective path to R-49
- Covers existing insulation completely
- Xcel Energy rebate eligible with air sealing
- 1-day installation for most Broomfield homes
- R-6.5 per inch (closed-cell) — highest available
- Creates a fully conditioned attic space
- Best when HVAC equipment is in the attic
- Eliminates ice dams permanently
- Higher upfront cost, stronger long-term return
- Recommended for homes with significant air leakage

Attic Air Sealing Broomfield — Always Included
Attic Insulation Top-off Broomfield
Attic insulation top-off is the most affordable path to R-49 for Broomfield homeowners whose existing insulation is in good condition but below code. If the insulation is not in good condition (oftentimes this is the case) we always recommend removing the existing insulation before we install brand new insulation. If your insulation is fairly new and no removal is necessary, we blow new insulation directly over your existing material, bringing the total depth to meet or exceed the R-49 target. This approach is ideal for Broomfield homes built in the 1970s–1990s that started with R-19 or R-22 but have never been upgraded. The project qualifies for Xcel Energy rebates and is typically completed in a single day.
Full Broomfield Attic Insulation Replacement
When existing Broomfield attic insulation is contaminated, moisture-damaged, or so degraded that topping off won’t deliver consistent performance, a complete removal and replacement is the right approach. Level Up handles the full project — vacuum removal, cleaning, air sealing, and fresh insulation installation. Most full attic insulation remediation / replacement projects in Broomfield are completed in one day.
Ice Dam Prevention — Attic Insulation Broomfield
Ice dams are a recurring problem in Broomfield neighborhoods, particularly in homes built before 1985 with inadequate attic insulation. Ice dams form when heat escapes through your under-insulated attic, melts snow on your roof, and that water refreezes at the cold eave eventually backing up under your shingles and causing interior water damage. Proper Broomfield attic insulation combined with ventilation corrections eliminates the heat source that creates ice dams. Many Broomfield homeowners invest in attic insulation specifically after experiencing ice dam damage the smarter move is preventing it first.

Spray foam attic projects are going to be more expensive, although they’re the more reliable long-term solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our Attic Insulation
Broomfield attics should reach R-49 per Colorado’s current Energy Code and Xcel Energy’s rebate program requirements. If your home was built before 1990, you’re likely at R-11 to R-22 — a gap that costs you hundreds to low thousands of dollars annually and qualifies you for Xcel’s highest rebate tiers. Level Up measures your current R-value precisely during our free attic insulation assessment so you know exactly where you stand.
Yes, in most cases. Ice dams are caused by heat escaping through an under-insulated attic, melting roof snow that refreezes at the eave. Bringing your Broomfield attic to R-49 with proper air sealing eliminates the heat source that creates ice dams. We also evaluate your attic ventilation during the assessment — adequate ventilation is the other piece of the ice dam prevention equation.
Most attic insulation projects in Broomfield — including blown-in top-off, removal and replacement, and air sealing — do not require a building permit. If your project involves any structural changes, HVAC modifications, or electrical work, permit requirements may apply.
