Why Reinsulate?
Here's a crucial indicator to consider: If your home was constructed before 1980, you are likely among the close to 80 million Americans living in residences with inadequate insulation—or possibly no insulation at all. Prior to 1980, there were no established building codes mandating minimum insulation standards. Even if your home was built after this period, insulation requirements have evolved significantly over the years. What was deemed adequate insulation in previous decades may now fall short of current standards, making a thorough insulation inspection highly advisable.
So, how can you determine whether your home requires additional insulation? Our comprehensive home insulation assessment evaluates several key factors:
- Energy Consumption: Analyzing your energy usage patterns to identify potential inefficiencies.
- Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) System: Assessing the effectiveness and performance of your HVAC system in relation to your insulation.
- Home’s Dimensions: Evaluating the size and layout of your home to determine how insulation can optimize energy efficiency.
These considerations will help provide a clear picture of your insulation needs and guide any necessary improvements to enhance your home's energy performance.
Comparing Insulation Types
Frequently Asked Questions
Our Injection Foam Insulation is a type of insulation applied by injecting a foam mixture into wall cavities, ceilings, and other areas to create a thermal barrier. This method offers several distinct characteristics and benefits.
The installation of injection foam insulation involves drilling small holes in the walls or other areas where insulation is needed. The foam is then injected through these holes using specialized equipment. Once the foam is applied , the holes are patched, and the process is complete.
Injection foam can even be installed with a brick exterior!
Absolutely! Fiberglass will have no effect on our foam we can install right over it,making injection foam the most versatile product on the market!
No! Injection foam is rodent resistant, mold resistant, class A fire rated and biodegradable!
Our foam has an R-Value of 4.6 per inch ,and slightly gains R-Value the colder the temperature.
Our foam, while far superior to other retrofitting insulations, is comparable in price to other products such as cellulose and can be installed in half the time!
The blower door test is a crucial tool for evaluating and improving a building's airtightness. It helps identify air leaks, enhance energy efficiency, improve indoor comfort and air quality, and ensure compliance with energy codes.
Understanding R-Value
The R-Value is a measure of thermal resistance used to evaluate the effectiveness of insulation materials. It quantifies the material’s ability to resist heat flow, with a higher R-Value indicating greater insulating efficiency.
The U.S. Department of Energy advises that, for optimal energy efficiency, attics in Northern States should possess an insulation R-Value ranging from R-49 to R-60, while flooring should be insulated to an R-Value of between R-25 and R-30.
