How much insulation should my house have?

You want your home to meet or exceed the standards recommended by bodies such as the US Department of Energy for your region. Different parts of the country have different suggested R-values for standard wall insulation, attic insulation, etc. For example, Thomasville is right near the line between a regional R-value of 2 to the south and a regional R-value of 3 to the north.

What type of insulation do I need?

It depends on where you’re trying to insulate, whether you intend to open up your walls to replace batts, etc. It’s best to discuss your goals for insulation with our team and work forward from there. We can help you figure out your best options and the pros and cons of each possibility.

How much can I save on my utility bill by installing insulation?

The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that added insulation in the right places in your house—walls, attics, crawl spaces, basement rim joists—will cut your heating and cooling costs by about 15%, assuming your current insulation is inadequate or old. You could save substantially more if your insulation is in very bad condition, old enough to not meet current standards, etc.

How long does insulation last?

It depends on the type of insulation, but most insulation lasts a very long time—80 years or more, with some types of insulation lasting the lifetime of your house. That said, standard fiberglass batts can start degrading in areas after a few decades, so if you want to maintain peak insulation and energy efficiency you may want a professional audit of the state of your insulation if it’s old enough.

What does R-value mean?

R-value refers in building or construction to how well a barrier, like insulation, a window, a wall, a ceiling, or a door, resists the conductive flow of heat. In other words, it describes how well the components of your home resist the flow of heat, in or out. With a high R-value everywhere you need one, heat can’t escape your home in the winter or enter it during the summer.
