"We contacted Jim Sullivan at Energy Savers after receiving a reliable recommendation from our favorite general contractor, Jeff Chyko. Energy Savers did not disappoint!! Matt and Dave first came to inspect and provide an estimate. They were very thoughtful in taking off their shoes on that rainy day, and they also wore face masks in the house (thank you). They were thorough and professional, and also personable. We quickly received the estimate from Jim and were pleasantly surprised by how reasonable it was! We were able to schedule the appointment for about four days later. Matt and Dave returned with their equipment, and did an amazing and thorough job. They hung plastic sheets from the attic access down to the floor to control any dust that could come down from the attic. They blew in fiberglass insulation after doing some repair work and rearranging existing batting in the attic. They also vacuumed up afterward! Now this is the test: We heat with wood. Yesterday we decided to let the wood stove burn out in the afternoon and go cold so we could see how much heat the house would lose overnight. When we went to bed at 10:00 p.m. it was 73 degrees in the house. When we woke up at 7:00 a.m. the next morning, it was 70 degrees!! We are so thrilled with Energy Savers, Jim, Matt and Dave. We would highly recommend them to anyone who would like to add some additional insulation and warmth (and reduce heat loss!) in their homes."

"Tyler and his team were amazing! Thoroughly analyzed the challenges, issued a solid cost estimate, showed up and efficiently/effectively resolved my issues. Heat loss though my cold attic was immediately curtailed! The money I will save in utility bills will more that pay for Tyler’s exceptional work!"

"After calling about half a dozen of other companies where no one would come out, I called 911 Plumbing after a recommendation on Facebook. I called Dylan and he was over here within an hour. He worked from 9:30 PM until 2 in the morning. His rates were great and he's really knowledgeable. I was so impressed. On a rate of 1-10, I'd give him an 11. I'm going to have him back for any regular plumbing work as well as emergency work and will refer him to all of my friends. His type of concierge service is unlike anyone else in the business."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

You can purchase bags of cellulose and loose-fill fiberglass blown-in insulation from the same local home improvement store where you rent your blower. If you want to use rock wool insulation, you may need to special order it.

It’s technically possible to install loose-fill cellulose insulation without a blower, but it’s much more time-consuming, tedious, and dangerous. You’ll need to wear the proper protective coverings to handle the cellulose after it’s been doused in boric acid; use a shovel when you can to transport the material from the bag into the wall cavity.

That said, if you purchase cellulose materials at a home improvement store, ask if they rent out blowers for free or at a discounted rate. In many cases, if you buy the material from the store, they’ll rent out the blower at no extra cost.

If you have blown-in insulation, using an insulation vacuum will quickly and easily suck up all the insulation. Many come with built-in HEPA filters for added safety. While some people suggest breaking up large batts and feeding them into the vacuum, this can expose you to more fiberglass fibers. With batts and rolls, carefully removing them and placing them into garbage bags is a better process.

There are two reasons why cellulose insulation repels rodents (and insects). First, the insulation has been treated with boric acid, which is a natural pest-repellent. In addition, the loose-fill style of cellulose creates less-than-ideal conditions for mice and other rodents to nest and burrow, helping to keep them at bay.

The lifespan of cellulose insulation is 20 to 30 years, on average. That said, it’s important to start checking your insulation after year 10 to check for degradation, mold, mildew, and other potential problems. Every 10 years, you should also confirm your home’s insulation is in line with updated local building codes.
