FAQs- Insulation replacement in Pensacola, FL
Why is the R-value important?
The R-value of insulation indicates its capacity to resist heat, both coming and going from your home. The higher the R-value, the better your house will perform as it will no longer require as much heating and cooling, saving you money on the cost of utilities.
What are the types of insulation used in attics?
The most common materials are fiberglass batts, cellulose and loose-fill fiberglass, and spray foam.
Where do I need insulation?
It’s understood your attic and exterior walls require insulation, but other areas of your home are important as well. Interior walls for noise reduction, floors for temperature control, garages, and basement walls should be on the list.
Do I need my insulation replaced?
It depends. Insulation can last for decades, however, if your home was built prior to 1970, it might be a good idea to have it replaced for higher energy efficiency and decreased energy bills, and better comfort. Also, insulation damaged by roof leaks or flooding most always needs to be replaced.
Can insulation help with noises?
Yes. Noises from conversations, movement, appliances, TVs, electronic devices, and other household equipment can echo through walls, floors, and ceilings. The right insulation can drastically reduce these noises, leaving rooms much quieter.
How can I keep the insulation in my crawl space dry?
Crawl spaces can be prone to dampness and insulation needs to be protected. This can be achieved by making sure you have a vapor barrier in place to control moisture.
Do I have to tear down walls to add more insulation?
No. With blown-in loose-fill fiberglass insulation, we create a small opening in your wall and blow in the insulation filling the entire space. Afterward, we patch the opening for a seamless finish.
Are there any DIY insulation tips for homeowners?
Yes and we love to educate our customers. You can insulate these areas to help with overall comfort in your home. Doorways lacking weather stripping or damaged weather stripping are a good start.
