Why add more insulation in Asheville?

There isn’t enough here! The housing stock is older, and most homes have yet to be brought to modern standards of efficiency, comfort, air quality etc. For the same reason a thorough evaluation is needed to reveal what other issues are present in the attic or crawl space that need addressing. When installing insulation we can remove old debris and seal all the air leaks in your ceiling or ductwork too, then you can reap the benefits you only expect from a new home.

Why increase attic insulation to R50?

Asheville insulation practices are typically the same as the rest of NC. Asheville, however, experiences more intense cold seasons that most areas of NC. This is true for most of the Western North Carolina region: standard building code requirements of R-38 are lower than they should be. We insulate attics to R-50. When we are already in the process of blowing in cellulose, the additional cost for adding more is often close to $100 – an amount that can pay for itself in the coming years. Bring insulation between R-50 and R-60 is truly about maximizing the short and long term gains.

Why Choose Conservation Pros?

The beauty of providing energy saving solutions with real benefits is in the details. At Conservation Pros, we spare no detail, and stick to your goal – you are looking to save energy and be more comfortable. Get a free insulation quote from Conservation Pros and you will find how thorough we are. That is why we include many services in our free insulation quotes than other insulators do not address fully or properly – like air leakage. We have found in many cases a quote for “air sealing” in an attic does not include 70% or more of the air leaks such as top plates and around duct work through our energy auditing work. Conservation Pros will take every step to achieve your goal and ensure insulation work doesn’t lead to any damages in the future.

Ventilation is incorporated in a space to reduce moisture, it is not used to lower energy bills. If you are thinking of ventilation as a means to reduce your summer cooling loads start with insulation, then consider a radiant barrier.
