Is it worthwhile to invest in home insulation?

When it comes to keeping your house pleasant, it is important to keep hot air out in the summer and cold air out in the winter. This is accomplished by the use of heating and cooling systems, the design of the roof, walls, and foundations, and the use of insulation. In reality, correctly planned and installed insulation may make a big difference in the difference between a chilly and a warm home when the winter months approach, as well as in keeping the family cool and comfortable when the weather is scorching during the summer months. Because proper insulation reduces the amount of work required by the heating and cooling systems, you save money on energy costs as well as on the wear and strain on those systems. Proper insulation is an important element of being a responsible homeowner - not only does it save money in the short and long term, but it is also beneficial to the environment because, in many homes, heating and cooling account for almost half of the total energy consumed by the home. That's actual money, people!
Insulation, in addition to saving you money on energy, may help keep your house free of pollutants and allergens such as pollen. People who are sensitive to air quality may find that adequate insulation might alleviate their breathing troubles and eye discomfort. Insulation is also beneficial in preventing and remediating condensation and the intrusion of water into the residence through the walls and ceilings. When the temperature of the air within a structure is warm and wet, and the temperature outside is below the dew point, condensation can form on windows and in walls, resulting in rust, mold, and rot, as well as an excess of moisture in the building. This will be addressed in the design of properly installed insulation, which will ensure that the level of humidity in the building or residence is not raised as a result of the insulation being built. There are a variety of techniques and materials available today that encourage effective water vapor transport, allowing condensation to be minimized to a bare minimum or perhaps removed entirely.

Whatever your insulation needs are, whether it's a little installation in your attic or a major commercial installation project, we have the skills and experience to find a solution that will work for you and your budget.

What are the benefits of insulating my attic?

Heat rises and transfers to colder regions of the home as it cools down. Warm air can escape through the ceilings to the attic in the winter since attics are frequently cooler than the living parts of the home. If the attic is not properly insulated, the warm air will escape to the outside.
​
One of the most important functions of insulation is to restrict the transfer of warm air from warmer to cooler regions. If the attic has been effectively insulated, the warm air will be trapped in the house's living rooms, decreasing the need to heat the house and resulting in lower energy expenses overall. During the hotter seasons, the system will operate in the other direction, with the attic being heated by radiation from the roof. In addition, because hot air tends to climb, the temperature differential between the cooled living rooms of the home and the hot attic will cause the temperature in the living portions of the house to increase. With sufficient insulation, the rate of heating in the living rooms may be significantly decreased, resulting in a significant reduction in cooling expenses.
To assess the effectiveness or capacity of insulation materials, we look to the material’s R-values, which indicate the thermal resistance of any material generally used for building insulation. The R-value of most insulating materials may be found on the packaging. The R-value is useful in evaluating the degree of insulation that is necessary for a certain application based on the ambient temperature. If you have an attic, the R-value of the insulation will be larger than the R-value of the insulation used in the walls of the house, unless you live in an extremely cold area, and a professional insulation installer will be able to advise you on the proper amounts of insulation for your home. The R-value of insulation in your home, as well as how to utilize it most effectively, is easily found by a quick internet search.

Our professional specialists at Detroit Attic Insulation will advise you on the most appropriate insulation for your house, whether you are wanting to insulate the walls, attic, or basement. Just as it is possible to under-insulate a portion of a home, over-insulation will result in the use of insulation with a specification (and expense) that is too high for the application.

What kind of insulation is used in a blown-in installation?

When it comes to adding insulation, blowing it into the room is the most efficient and cost-effective method. It is a short process, and the insulation that is done in this manner is normally of high quality. Fiberglass and cellulose are the most often utilized materials, and each has its own set of pros and downsides. Some installers will say that one material is superior to another - we, on the other hand, believe otherwise. We can install a variety of different types of insulation, and we work closely with our customers to ensure that we recommend the most appropriate type for their specific circumstances and budget. Typically, an R-value of around 30 serves as an adequate degree of insulation. This is suitable for the majority of attic spaces. The R-value, or insulation capacity, of the insulation material may be modified throughout the installation process to get the desired amount of insulation for the attic or basement. This can be done regardless of whether cellulose or fiberglass insulation is used. The actual blowing of the insulation takes around half of the time it takes to finish a standard-sized attic installation, which takes between two to four hours in total.

Will there be mess or damage if insulation is blown into my home?

The process of blowing insulation into clients' houses is something we are well aware of, and we strive to alleviate their anxieties. There's no reason to be concerned. The first thing our staff will do is lay down tarpaulins to keep the floors and carpets of your home clean and protected while the work is being done. The tarpaulins will be stretched from the front or rear door of your home all the way up to the attic's entrance. We'll also lay down floor covers to ensure that the hose does not slide and leave marks or harm on any baseboards or walls during the installation. After that, the staff will pull the hose from the truck and run it up into the attic. One end of the line will be attached to an air pump in our vehicle, and the other end will be installed in the attic of your home. When it comes to keeping your home clean and orderly during the insulation installation process, we place a great value on cleanliness and order.
The strong air pump in our truck propels the necessary insulation down the hose and into the roof space. One or more experienced members of our staff will be in charge of the insulation installation, which will be done with the use of a hose to ensure that the insulation is installed exactly where it needs to be for optimal effectiveness. We may use a hose to blast insulation into narrow or problematic locations, as well as to ensure that the insulation level is consistent across the whole attic space. Not only does this appear neater and is easier to maintain, but it also gives an even amount of insulation throughout the house.
In other circumstances, when it is acceptable, we will construct a dam to restrict the insulation from being too close to the attic entrance. A good seal around the hatch, which prevents hot or cold air from seeping through and degrading the insulation, can be achieved by using batt insulation in some cases.
​
If everything seems good after we have completed putting the insulation, we will inspect the work and then roll back the tarpaulins and disconnect the hose so that your home is as it was before we arrived. All of our employees are trained in the importance of maintaining a clean working environment and maintaining safety on all of our tasks, and we are confident that you will be pleased with our efficiency and tidiness.

For my home, what kind of insulation should I use?

​Many and various forms of insulation are installed in houses around the United States on a daily basis, and each one has its own advantages and disadvantages. Insulation in the form of batts or blown-in fiberglass or cellulose will be the most cost-effective alternative. We have extensive expertise with both of these and can advise you on which would be the most appropriate for your specific situation. Often, a mix of blown-in and batt insulation will provide the most effective results. If this is the case, we will begin by installing a layer of batt insulation. This may or may not be equipped with a moisture barrier; however, in the Detroit region, this is often not required. Then it may be coated with extra batts or blown-in insulation to complete the job. 
The best combination will be determined by the design of the attic as well as how simple or difficult it is to reach all of the regions in the attic, among other factors. Whichever technique is chosen, we will make certain that the appropriate quantity of insulation is put in order to enhance the thermal properties of your attic and reduce your energy expenditures throughout the year, if necessary.
