The beauty of providing energy saving solutions with real benefits is in the details. Many insulators do not take the time to consider the importance of these details. At Conservation Pros, we spare no detail, and stick to your goal – you are looking to save energy and be more comfortable. That is why we include many services in our free insulation quotes than other insulators; these include:
Attic Hatch/Stair
The Attic entry is a hole in the building envelope, that means it allows air leakage into the attic and it is not insulated. We take the time to weatherstrip and insulate your attic hatch.
Although the area of the attic door is small, an uninsulated attic door will reduce energy savings substantially. -Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources
Air Sealing
The truth is, why add insulation if you don’t air seal the attic. Air sealing is very cost effective and prevents air from passing through the thermal barrier (insulation layer). If air can move through insulation than it is not benefiting your efficiency or comfort at all.
If you do not air seal your attic than you will not qualify for a rebate of up to $500 from the Duke/Progress Energy’s Home Energy Improvement Program
Insulation Settling
Settling is a common concern with those considering blown cellulose insulation. As building performance specialists, we know to follow the manufacturer’s specifications to account for settling. If we say we will insulate to R-50 that means the final R-value after settling will be R-50.
Contrary to common belief, cellulose insulation is more fire-resistant than fiberglass insulation
Indoor Air Quality
Air sealing prevents unhealthy attic air from entering the home, and improve indoor air quality. In addition, cellulose insulation is non-toxic and recyclable making it the more environment-friendly insulation method.
