Q. How can I be certain that I will receive
the most value for my money?
A. While insulation will remain hidden from view,
a "lowest bid" choice may have you paying for a cheap job for as long as you live in your home.
The key to getting the most value for your money is having your insulation installed by contractors
that are knowledgeable, conscientious and thorough.
Q. Can existing homes also be insulated?
A. Whether your home was built a century ago or just
completed, it's probably not to late for you and your family to enjoy the benefits of additional
insulation. A simple, quick inspection by our insulation team professional is all that is needed.
Q. Will installing cellulose insulation really help
with energy costs?
A. Studies have shown that installing cellulose
insulation can cut your heating and cooling bills by as much as 40%.
Q. How should my insulation be installed, is there
really a difference between batts and wall-spray?
A. Custom-fit wall-spray surrounds your home with a
monolithic cellulose insulation system. Your home will be dramatically more comfortable and energy
efficient. Compare between the conventional batts and cellulose wall-spray in the picture on the right.
Q. Does traditional fiberglass insulation provide
the best performance for my home?
A. No. Utility bills were 32% lower in the cellulose
insulated building.
Q. Should I base my choice of insulation on R-value
alone?
A. R-value is a narrowly focused laboratory measurement
for a comfortable, energy efficient home. Insist on insulation that effectively controls all 3 methods
if heat transfer: convection, conduction and radiation. Our insulation experts will be glad to discuss
this with you.
Q. Is cellulose insulation safe or a potential fire
hazard?
A. Cellulose insulation meets and often exceeds tough
fire standards providing increased safety and peace of mind. Many of the properties of cellulose
insulation which result in fire resistance and a reduction in air infiltration also contribute to the
superior performance in abating airborne sound.
Q. I already have fiberglass insulation in the attic,
can blown-in cellulose still be used?
A. Absolutely, as a matter of fact, it will greatly increase
the efficiency of the fiberglass insulation as well. This is called "capping". We would welcome the
opportunity to talk to you about it.
