Insulation Installation Done Best !

 There's no getting around it:

 If your house is in a cold or hot climate, keeping it warm in winter or cold in the summer is expensive. 

 if you've got an unfinished attic, giving it proper insulation is one of the simplest ways to keep a lid on your heating/cooling bills. 

Insulation level is specified by R-Value. R-Value is a measure of insulation’s ability to resist heat traveling through it. The higher the R-Value the better the thermal performance of the insulation. The table below shows what levels of insulation are cost-effective for different climates and locations in the home.

During the Texas summer, heat moves from outdoors to the house interior. To maintain comfort, the heat lost in winter must be replaced by your heating system and the heat gained in summer must be removed by your air conditioner. Insulating ceilings, walls, and floors decrease the heating or cooling needed by providing an effective resistance to the flow of heat.

Owners of houses built before 1990 take note: If what you see is lightweight, grainy, loose-looking insulation with shiny flecks, it could be vermiculite from a mine with asbestos deposits. Get it tested, and if necessary, call in a pro to remove and haul it away safely.

 There are a few different materials and each services your property differently!

Rolls and batts- are flexible products made from mineral fibers, such as fiberglass and rock wool. They are available in widths suited to standard spacings of wall studs and attic or floor joists.

This flexible insulation material is most often packaged in rolls that come in various thicknesses and standard widths,

Loose-fill insulation - usually made of fiberglass, rock wool, or cellulose—comes in shreds, granules, or nodules. These small particles should be blown into spaces using the special pneumatic equipment. The blown-in material conforms readily to building cavities and attics. Therefore, loose-fill insulation is well suited for places where it is difficult to install other types of insulation.

 *To achieve the correct R-value it is extremely important that the proper amount and minimum thickness of insulation be installed, That's why you need to call the experts of VIP Duct cleaning of Texas! (877) 319-0050.  

 Heated air tends to move toward cooler areas, and attic insulation helps resist this flow of heat. By creating thermal resistance, it slows the transfer of heat from warmer spaces to cooler ones in your home.

In winter, insulation helps prevent heat from escaping from living spaces below into the attic, reducing the need for extended use of your heating system to keep rooms comfortable. In summer, insulation also blocks heat from accumulating in the attic and penetrating into the cooler, air-conditioned spaces below, helping to lower energy costs and reduce strain on your air conditioner.

If certain rooms take longer to heat in winter or cool in summer, you may have uneven or inadequate insulation in your attic.

 Proper insulation plays a crucial role in reducing energy costs and improving the comfort of your home. By creating a barrier that prevents heat from escaping in the winter and entering in the summer, insulation helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature. This means your heating and cooling systems don’t have to work as hard to keep your home comfortable, ultimately reducing your energy bills.

In winter, insulation keeps warm air inside, allowing your furnace or heater to run more efficiently. In summer, it helps keep cool air in, preventing your air conditioner from overworking. Over time, this leads to significant savings on your utility bills.

Additionally, proper insulation helps to extend the lifespan of your heating and cooling equipment by reducing the frequency and intensity of their use. This can save you money on repairs and replacements in the long run.

Investing in the right insulation not only helps you save money but also contributes to a more eco-friendly home by reducing your energy consumption and lowering your carbon footprint.
