Insulation is important for every home. It helps to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and it can also save you money on energy bills. When buying a new home, there are regulations that require builders to use insulation materials that meet certain standards. However, when you live in an older home, you may not be sure whether it has adequate attic insulation or if it even needs more. If you’re thinking about adding attic insulation to your older home, here are a few things to consider. What to Consider If you’re considering adding more attic insulation to your older home, there are a few things you should consider: • The depth of the insulation: To get the best energy efficiency benefits from adding attic insulation, you want to make sure that it covers the whole depth of your attic. If you don’t have enough room for the desired depth, you may want to install a whole new roof with insulation or add an additional layer of insulation on top of what you already have. • Cost: The cost of insulating your attic depends on many factors including how much insulation is needed and what materials will be used during installation. While some people may choose to do this job themselves, most find it easier to hire our professionals who specializes in installing attic insulation. Our Insulation Products Adding attic insulation to your home can be a great way to save money on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint. At Energy Savers Insulation, we use PROPINK® Blown insulation & Climate Pro® products. Blow-in insulation is a loose fill insulation that are blown into the attic through a hose where they settle in between the joists. This process allows us to leave your older insulation intact, while still providing you with new, upgraded insulation. Insulation is an important part of staying comfortable in your home and it's an easy step to take if you're considering a home renovation project. As with any project, it's important to plan ahead and know what you're getting into. If you would like to discuss your home’s attic insulation needs, get in touch with our experts, today.

If you are tired of cranking up your thermostat, or putting on layer after layer in the winter, it might be time to consider adding or updating the insulation in your attic. A properly insulated attic can drastically save you money on your heating bill, as well as help to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home all year round. This means that upgrading your attic insulation will not only help in the winter, but it will reduce your home’s heat gain in the summer. What do you need to know before you have someone climb up into your attic to upgrade your attic insulation? Energy Savers Insulation has you covered! Evaluating Your Attic Insulation The first thing our team of experts will do is come out to valuate your existing attic insulation. Our team will look at the existing insulation to determine the type, the age, as well as the depth. This will help us determine the r-value of the current attic insulation. Our team will also ensure that we insulate your attic hatch, as well as inspect your attic ventilation. If our team spots any issues, we will be sure to provide you with recommendations to complete your insulation upgrade. Insulation Process After our team has inspected your existing insulation and your attic vents, we will then begin the process of blowing in your new attic insulation. Before this is done, our team ensures that your home is protected and kept clean by laying tarps down from your front door’s entrance, all the way to your attic’s entrance. Then we blow in the formaldehyde-free fiber glass insulation. This type of insulation works best, as it fills in those hard-to-reach gaps and will not settle over time. After we have filled the space, our tarps are removed and we vacuum up any excess insulation, leaving your home the way we found it. Enjoy the Perks of Attic Insulation Once your attic has been upgraded with new insulation, you will start to enjoy the benefits of the upgrade. Your overall home heating costs will reduce, and you will notice that your home will not get as hot in the summer. If you are ready to enjoy the perks of attic insulation, get in tou ch with our experts today to get an evaluation and quote.

Energy Savers will support your insulation upgrade from inspection to completion, including coordinating an energy evaluation to access valuable grants from the federal government.

Figure 1: Blow-in Insulation Top-up Many of you have turned on our furnaces for the foreseeable future and which means you have likely already seen an increase in your utility bills. With our gas companies increasing the fees associated with our gas bills, it does not look like there will be much wiggle room to keep your heating costs down this winter. So, what can you do in order to keep your gas bill lower and your home a nice warm temperature? Our team recommends upgrading your insulation with blow-in insulation. We know if can feel like a major renovation to upgrade to blow-in insulation, it is actually a lot easier than you might think. Blow-in insulation can be done on existing homes attics. The way blow-in insulation works is by using long, flexible hosing to blow in the material into your attic. It is really that simple. Our professional insulation installers feed the insulation into the commercial grade machine, it is then agitated, run through the hose, and filled on top of existing insulation in your attic. Blow-in insulation is easy and affordable. But how does spending money on upgrading to blow-in insulation help with your gas bill? The way insulation works is by reducing thermal conductivity. If you have low r-value insulation or older insulation, your home could be losing heat a lot faster and easier than you might think. Older homes are often under insulated and if you have traditional insulation it may have settled over time, or even be disturbed by the elements, rodents, or other kinds of damage. You can do a simple test of your insulation by walking from room to room and seeing if you notice colder spots, drafts, and worse case when you notice an extremely high heating bill. If you are looking to avoid the high costs of a gas bill this winter, get in touch with our experts to talk about upgrading to blow-in insulation. We can let you know your options and keep the gas prices at bay this season.
