"I am very happy with the honesty and professionalism of this company. They were going to use the foam insulation in the bedroom, but were unable to access it. They took pictures of the attic space before and after they pumped in the spray insulation. The house is feeling cooler now as we had no insulation in the attic under a metal roof."
"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."
"Kyle and his helper were prompt efficient and did an excellent job. He explained everything quite clearly and did a great job upgrading my attic insulation to R 38. The improvement in the comfort of my condo was amazing."
"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. "
"I had a great experience with this spray foam insulation company. The crew was professional, on time, and really knew what they were doing. I specifically asked for open-cell spray foam with batt insulation in the walls, and they delivered exactly what I wanted."
Through R-value assessments based on climate and existing insulation.
You do not need to drywall over most types of garage insulation. However, doing so can increase noise reduction, make the space more attractive, and keep children and pets from touching harmful fiberglass insulation. If you’re using cellulose or some other type of blown-in insulation (fiberglass and mineral wool are common), you will need drywall to contain the insulation material.
The R-value is a rating that measures an insulation's thermal resistance—in other words, how well it insulates. A higher R-value provides more protection for your pipes, and all pipe insulation materials should have an R-value listed on the product description or label. Each insulation type has its own R-value, which typically falls between one and five for most pipe insulation. When making a selection, Energy.gov recommends choosing a pipe wrap that is at least one inch thick, and the International Code Council (ICC) suggests choosing a material with an R-value of at least 3.
The best way to reduce heat upstairs is to release it by opening a window. Hot air rises, and if you can create some airflow by opening a window upstairs and also one on a lower level, the hot air should be pushed out of the home. Remember that fans pointing out the window do a much better job of circulating air than fans pointing into the home.
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.
