Blown-In Insulation on the day: sealing, depth and cleanup
The cheapest meaningful improvement most Nashville houses can make. Bringing an attic from R-19 to R-49 is a day of work and shows up on bills within a billing cycle.
Even depth is the whole job. Insulation heaped near the hatch and thin at the eaves performs at its thinnest point, not its average, and the eaves are where the heat loss is worst.
Non-IC-rated recessed lights cannot be buried. Older fittings covered with insulation are a genuine fire risk, and they need enclosing or replacing before anything is blown over them.
Baffles keep the soffit vents open. Insulation pushed into the eaves stops the roof breathing, and a roof deck that cannot dry out will rot from the inside.

FAQ
Blown-In Insulation: what homeowners want to know
Cellulose or fiberglass for blown-in insulation?
Both work in an attic. Cellulose is denser, settles into gaps better, resists air movement and is made from recycled paper; fiberglass is lighter, does not settle as much, and is not affected by moisture the way cellulose can be. The depth and the air sealing under it matter more than the choice between them.
Why is my attic insulation heaped near the hatch and thin at the edges?
Because it was blown from the hatch without going into the attic. Insulation blown to an even depth across the whole floor — out to the eaves, over the top plates, around the can lights with the right clearances — is what performs. A heap by the hatch and bare joists at the edges is a job that was not done, and it is common.
