HAVE QUESTIONS? WE HAVE ANSWERS!
Q: How does insulation work?
A: Insulation stops heat from transferring throughout a home or building, thus making it more energy efficient. This means your home will stay warm in the winter and cooler in the summer, all while saving you money.
Q: How much insulation do I need to install?
A: Well, that depends on a few different factors, the biggest two being the age of your home and the climate zone you live in. The amount of insulation you need to install will also depend on things like the type of heating and cooling system you have, the areas of your home you need to insulate, etc. Call to talk to one of our salesmen to discuss your options.
Q: How much does insulation save?
A: According to the U.S. Department of Energy, you can save about 45 percent on your heating and cooling costs. We offer spray foam insulation and more throughout Portland, ME.
Q: What areas of my home should be insulated?
A: Your ceilings, attic, outside walls, basement walls, porches, floors, unheated spaces, and many other nooks and crannies in your home or office building will all benefit from insulation.
Q: What does the R-value mean?
A: The R-value is a unit of measurement that measures the restriction of heat loss. The higher the R-value number, the more effective the material will be.
Q: If this was your house/business what would you use for insulation materials?
A: Every job has its own challenges and unique set of circumstances. Call Dan, and when he looks at your situation, you can be sure that we will make a strong recommendation, with the options available.
Q: What is fiberglass insulation?
A: Fiberglass insulation is made from fine glass fibers and is one of the most common insulation types used in homes. It’s available in batts or loose-fill and helps reduce heat transfer, keeping your home comfortable year-round.
Q: What are the benefits of fiberglass insulation?
Fiberglass insulation is affordable, fire-resistant, and effective at improving energy efficiency. It also helps reduce noise and can be installed in walls, attics, and floors.
Q: What is blown-in insulation?
A: Blown-in insulation consists of loose material, typically fiberglass or cellulose, that is blown into attics, walls, or other spaces using specialized equipment for even coverage.
Q: Is blown-in insulation better than fiberglass batts?
A: It depends on your needs. Blown-in insulation is ideal for filling gaps and hard-to-reach areas, while fiberglass batts are often used in open wall cavities. Many homes benefit from a combination of both.
Q: How long does insulation last?
A: Most insulation materials, including fiberglass insulation and blown-in insulation, can last 20–30 years or more when properly installed and maintained.
Q: What is a blower door test?
A: A blower door test measures how airtight your home is by using a powerful fan to detect air leaks. It helps identify areas where energy is being lost.
Q: How do I know if my home needs more insulation?
A: Signs include uneven temperatures, high energy bills, drafts, and cold floors or walls. An inspection or blower door test can confirm if upgrades are needed.
Q: How long does installation take?
A: Most insulation projects can be completed in a single day, depending on the size of the home and the type of insulation being installed.
Q: Is blown-in insulation messy?
A: When installed by professionals, blown-in insulation is a clean and efficient process with minimal disruption to your home.
In an effort to stay comfortable and protected from the elements, all while saving money in the process, we welcome all home and business owners throughout Maine to trust us for all their insulation needs. You’ll find that our products have a high R-value, which is a measurement system for the overall resistance to temperature conduction (the higher the rating the better).
If you are curious about the future of your energy bill after the implementation of fiberglass or spray foam insulation, we welcome you to try our free energy bill estimator! By sealing gaps, cracks, and other areas of air infiltration, spray foam insulation helps to eliminate drafts and maintain a consistent temperature throughout your entire household. This in turn reduces the workload being placed on your heating and cooling system, leading to not only superior energy savings, but also a reduced carbon footprint. Spray foam insulation is an eco-friendly choice that lowers greenhouse gas emissions and minimizes the use of fossil fuels for a more sustainable future. Overall, we look forward to hearing from you regarding any additional questions you may have or if you’d like to begin your project with a free estimate!
