        "text": "While some types of insulation, like batts or rolls, can be installed by homeowners for small projects, hiring a professional is generally recommended for optimal results. Professionals ensure proper R-value, air sealing, and compliance with building codes. They also have specialized equipment for spray foam or blown-in cellulose, which requires expertise for effective and safe application. Improper installation can lead to reduced efficiency and potential moisture issues.",
