Keeping this in consideration, do you need baffles with batt insulation?

baffles are basically used to make blow in insulation easier. You don't need them, but it makes it easier to maintain the air channels from the soffits to the roof. Without them, you need to be careful not to full the soffits with instulation when blowing.

Similarly, what are baffles in an attic? Baffles are chutes that, when installed properly, can provide a channel for air to flow from your exterior soffit vents up into your attic space. That airflow is intended to churn the stale air in your attic which helps to remove moisture and control the temperature of your attic.

Also question is, how much does it cost to install attic baffles?

Prices, however, generally ranged between $0.75 and $1.20 per square foot including material, labor costs, and profit. Lower per square foot rates may charge separately for installing insulation baffles ($2.00 each).

Where should attic baffles be installed?

To install the rafter vents, staple them directly to the roof decking. Rafter vents come in 4-foot lengths and 14-1/2 and 22-1/2 inch widths for different rafter spacings. Rafter vents should be placed in your attic ceiling in between the rafters at the point where your attic ceiling meets your attic floor.
