FAQs

The optimal insulation choice varies based on your home's construction, energy efficiency goals, and financial considerations. Blown-in insulation excels in attics and difficult-to-access areas. Fiberglass insulation offers versatility for walls and attics. Blanket batt insulation is effective in open spaces such as basements, crawl spaces, and newly constructed walls. Our expert team can evaluate your home and suggest the most suitable solution for your specific needs.

Adding insulation to your attic offers numerous advantages. It helps reduce heat loss during winter months and maintains cooler temperatures in summer. This improvement enhances overall comfort, boosts energy efficiency, and can result in reduced heating and cooling expenses throughout the year.

Several signs may indicate the need for additional insulation: inconsistent room temperatures, elevated heating or cooling costs, noticeable drafts or cold areas, and ice dam formation on your roof during winter. Our skilled technicians can conduct a thorough inspection of your home to determine if supplementary insulation or replacement is necessary.

Blown-in insulation consists of loose fiberglass or cellulose particles that are propelled into spaces such as attics and wall cavities using specialized equipment. This method is particularly effective for enhancing coverage and sealing gaps that traditional insulation methods might overlook.

Blanket batt insulation refers to pre-cut panels or rolls, typically composed of fiberglass. It is commonly installed between wall studs, ceiling joists, and floor joists in new construction or renovation projects. This type of insulation provides consistent and uniform coverage.

Insulation removal involves the safe extraction of old or damaged insulation prior to installing new material. This process is recommended when existing insulation is wet, moldy, infested with pests, damaged by smoke, or compacted. These conditions can reduce insulation effectiveness and negatively impact indoor air quality.

Fiberglass insulation is indeed a safe, effective, and cost-efficient option for most homes. Modern fiberglass products are manufactured using low-dust materials and are engineered to resist fire, moisture, and pest infestations.

Upgrading your insulation can typically result in energy cost savings of up to 20% or more on heating and cooling expenses for homeowners. The actual savings will vary depending on factors such as your home's size, layout, and current insulation levels.

With proper installation and maintenance, fiberglass and blown-in insulation can remain effective for 20 to 30 years or more. However, replacement may be necessary sooner if the insulation sustains damage from water, pests, or settling over time.

Adding new insulation over existing insulation is possible, provided the current insulation is dry, clean, and in good condition. This method can enhance performance without requiring complete removal. However, if the old insulation is contaminated or deteriorating, removal is advised before installing new insulation.
