Q: How often should duct insulation be replaced or upgraded?

• <div><p>Duct insulation typically has a long lifespan, often exceeding 10 to 15 years. However, periodic inspections are crucial to check for signs of damage, wear, or deterioration. If you notice issues such as torn or water-damaged insulation, it may be time for replacement or repairs. Additionally, consider upgrading insulation if you're looking to improve energy efficiency or enhance your HVAC system's performance.</p></div>

Q: Does an attic floor need a vapor barrier?

• <div><p>Vapor barriers in attics are a bit outdated and most areas no longer recommend them for attic spaces. For vented attics, the best method is usually to install drywall and cover it with latex paint before attaching insulation fiberglass, cellulose, or foam insulation. When renovating an attic to use as a living space, a contractor can guide you on the best way to cover insulation.</p></div>

Q: What is the most affordable way to insulate behind drywall?

• <div><p>The most affordable way to insulate behind unfinished walls is to install fiberglass batts or rolls. These total around <b>$0.75 per linear foot</b>, with the width matching the gaps between standard studs perfectly. However, it&rsquo;s important to consider the R-value of your insulation and the climate in your area, as fiberglass insulation isn&rsquo;t the best in terms of preventing heat transfer. Plus, the most affordable option may cost more on electricity bills over time. The most affordable way to insulate behind finished walls is to leave them up and use blown-in insulation to avoid drywall replacement.</p></div>

Q: Does condensation on windows mean poor insulation?

• <div><p>Actually, condensation can mean that your windows are more energy efficient because the seal keeps cold air out and warm air in. In some cases, windows with poor seals can lead to more condensation, but they may allow the cold and warm air to mix and reduce condensation. If you&rsquo;re worried about whether or not your windows are properly insulated, have a pro assess them.</p></div>

Highly recommend Harless. They did what they said they would do, showed up when they said they would show, worked efficiently and cleaned up after themselves. Only wish he did other work and not just insulation. Would hire again anytime!
