Adding Insulation Contractor to an attic can lower your energy bills significantly. This is because the air conditioned air you pay to cool and heat your home stays inside. Leaving spaces where drastic changes in temperatures can occur forces your heating and cooling systems to work harder to overcome the change, which can add up.
Understanding the Different Types of Attic Insulation
The first step in finding the right contractor is to clarify your goals for insulating your home. For example, some homeowners want to keep their homes more comfortable in the winter and others are concerned with reducing their home’s carbon footprint. This information can help contractors create targeted plans to address your needs.
Next, check a contractor’s insurance coverage. Ask if they have workers’ compensation and general liability, which cover their own employees if they are injured or damage your property during the job. Then ask whether they are licensed, which indicates that they have met state-specific requirements to perform insulation work. You should also find out if they are certified by the Insulation Contractors Association of America (ICAA).
Ask for references or testimonials from past customers who have had similar insulation projects. Then give them a call to learn about their experience working with the contractor.
The professionals you hire should be well trained and able to explain the pros and cons of different insulation products. They should also know how to properly apply and install the insulation in your attic space. For example, if they are installing blown-in insulation, they should take care not to block plumbing vent pipes and other attic fixtures, such as light fixtures or vents. Finally, they should follow the insulation manufacturer’s installation instructions.
