"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. "
The life span of insulation is between 20 and 100 years. At that time, existing insulation can fall victim to gravity, resulting in compression, which reduces its insulating protection or R-value. If you can't simply add more insulation over the existing material, removing the old to increase the effectiveness of the new can reduce your energy bills and make the project worth the time and money investment.
You can buy pipe insulation materials in your local hardware store or in major home improvement stores. You can also shop for insulation online, where you may be able to more easily buy in bulk. When shopping, make sure you know your pipe's dimensions so you can buy the correct size of pipe insulation materials for your pipes.
In nearly all cases, you are required to install a vapor barrier in your crawl space. However, local regulations will change based on the local climate and the crawl space's susceptibility to moisture. Even if a vapor barrier is not legally required, it is often a good idea to keep your crawl space dry.
Garden blankets and frost cloths are the best things to use to protect trees and plants from frost. They are made from polypropylene fabric, which is lightweight, breathable, and dries fast. If you can’t get garden blankets or frost cloths before the freeze, you should use lightweight blankets, sheets, or towels.
Yes, cold walls are a common indicator of poor or inadequate insulation, especially if the walls feel significantly colder than the air in the room. This suggests that heat from your furnace is escaping rather than being retained. The issue could be that the walls have no insulation, or that the existing insulation is old or has been damaged by water, moisture, or pests. Your best course of action is to hire a professional to investigate. An insulation contractor can determine if you need to add or replace insulation and can often perform the work without creating large holes in your drywall. If you suspect the problem might also be related to your heating system's performance, an HVAC technician can take a closer look.
