- Determine If You Need New Insulation – While new additions to your home will need to have insulation added, you also want to determine whether or not you need to have insulation installed into existing rooms in your home. Many older houses can be drafty and lack attic insulation. Loose fill between the ceiling joints can help prevent heat loss during the winter months.
- Determining the Type of Insulation to Use – Building insulation generally falls into the category of loose fill, batting, rigid boards or spray foam. We recommend loose fill and spray foam, as it is the safest and most environmentally friendly option available for your home.
- Determining Where to Install Insulation – Since warm air tends to rise and cool air tends to fall, it’s important that the attic and basement are well insulated.
