Wall Insulation Contractors
Getting The Insulation Into the Wall
It is easier to get insulation into the walls when the studs are exposed – like when a home is being built, or being remodeled. Once the wallboard or finishing material goes up, the best way to get insulation into the walls is by drilling holes near the top of the wall, and blowing cellulose insulation behind the finished wall.
Wall Insulation Starts With Air Sealing
Air sealing is just as important as wall insulation. If you can feel cold air around your electrical outlets and window trims on cold days, this means that your walls probably need to be air sealed. Air sealing will fill in the gaps, cracks and holes where air leakage occurs, and stop warm air from escaping and cold air from coming into your warm house.
Walls, Windows and Doors
Wall insulation isn't the only factor affecting how well an exterior wall keeps your home insulated - it also depends on the windows and doors in that wall. Energy Star rated exterior doors and windows have insulated cores and thermal breaks that make them energy efficient, and can save you money on your heating and cooling costs each month.
Basements, Attics And More
Basements, attics and crawl spaces are generally areas that are poorly insulated and poorly sealed, leading to air leakage and colder/hotter areas of your home. Taking care of the air sealing and insulation in these key areas can lower the cost of heating and cooling your entire house.
