"Got three estimates for attic and garage door insulation. Silverback was by far the most reasonable in price. They were very knowledgeable and professional explaining the process in detail. Very pleased with the results. Would highly recommend them."
"James and his guys from A&V Insulation took care of us after the Flooding from Hurricane Milton. They removed and replaced the duct work, insulation and moisture barrier in the crawl space below our home as well as thoroughly treating for mold until they were sure it was all gone. They did all this in a very professional and timely manner and at and extremely fair price. I urge anyone looking for an insulation company to use A&V Insulation, you will not be disappointed. I will be recommending them to all of my family and friends. Thank You A &V Insulation."
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Insulate It for our spray foam insulation! From start to finish, they were prompt, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. They quickly provided an estimate, and the team worked efficiently to complete the job. They were friendly and approachable throughout the entire process. We couldn’t be happier with their work and would recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch insulation services. All around great!
Thank you, Travis and team for a job well done!"

"Rodney and Terry arrived on time 8:30AM. Rodney answered questions/concerns I had about insulation. They proceeded getting the job done. I was having this done as my garage gets very hot in the summer, no ventilation in attic. Rodney recommended a solar fan on roof. Will have this done is the spring time. I got recommedations and quotes from several other companies. They were recommending other types of insulation that cost a lot more. Was very happy with price and service I got with Reichel Insulaltion. "
Yes, insulating ductwork in a crawl space is a worthwhile investment, especially if you live in a colder climate or run your air conditioning for most of the year. Uninsulated ducts can lose up to 30% of their heating and cooling efficiency, which can significantly impact your electricity bill. The project is a relatively small investment and typically only takes a few hours. It's a particularly simple add-on if you are already hiring someone to insulate the entire crawl space. An added benefit is that insulated ducts put off less hot or cold air, making them less attractive to pests.
Water heater blanket prices range from $20 to $40 on average, though you typically won’t need to spend more than $30 for all the tools and materials required for installation—which include the blanket itself, heavy-duty scissors, and electrical tape. Blankets with higher R-values will also be slightly higher in price.
Garage door insulation can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years depending on the type of insulation. Cellulose has the shortest lifespan coming in at between 20 and 30 years, while spray foam, mineral wool, and fiberglass can last between 80 and 100 years with proper maintenance.
Humidity plays a role in how long more susceptible insulation materials—like fiberglass—last. Once fiberglass batts reach the 15-year mark, you'll need to routinely inspect your insulation to ensure that it is in mint order.
Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but the actual temperature that can cause frozen pipes can vary. Generally, it takes 12 hours for pipes to freeze at 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
Uninsulated pipes can freeze if it’s 20 degrees Fahrenheit or colder for over three hours. If your pipes are insulated, it can take six hours or longer for pipes to freeze. Note that some pipe types freeze more often than PEX pipes. Copper pipes freeze more often because the copper conducts energy and loses heat quickly.
Winterizing your outdoor plumbing keeps your outdoor spigot from freezing and potentially bursting. This includes draining residual water out of the pipe and spigot after turning the valve off, then removing garden hoses and other attachments from the spigot before winter comes. Insulating the pipe that leads to the spigot and installing a freeze-proof faucet also help, as does installing an outdoor faucet protector.
