"This could not have gone any smoother. Despite having to re-schedule the original, 1st quoting appointment, Darren was here the very next day. I had a quote by the end of that 2nd day/appointment, was scheduled the next day for the following Monday and the 2-person team was in and out within 90 minutes. My kids didn't even wake up(granted, they could sleep thru the emergency siren!) but wow. My attic/crawl space is now fully insulated! All this while we are adjusting to our new normal of social distancing and heightened sanitary measures. I would use AFI again and would recommend them based on this experience."

"Prevailing came in to insulate my basement and attic. The workers were professional and worked the entire time they were here (which seems like a low standard, but I've had situations where 4 people come to work and 2 stand around talking for most of it from other companies). More importantly, they explained what they were doing as they did it, and cleaned up after themselves before they left! Scheduling the service was quick and easy since they were able to use our Alliant Energy quote to avoid a second home assessment, and they came in under budget. Very satisfied - plan to have them back to blow insulation in the exterior walls before winter."

"Jeff Smith is based at the Waterloo office. He was very good at customer service & responded to my emails in a reasonable time given this is probably a busy time of the year (November) for them. I am having additional blow in insulation behind a knee wall & in the attic to bring me up to code. The work has not been completed yet. I am waiting for an energy audit. That is why I can only rate the company as a 3."

"Roberto was the technician and he was very professional, polite, and personable. He inspected the rest of our system and told us things that needed to be changed or repaired. He showed me pictures of everything. Everything he told me about was accurate. He quoted me a price for R38 insulation , Some of our ducts were plastic and he recommended them to be changed. I agreed completely and didn't know they were plastic. I would have had them done the work but I had no price comparisons to make and besides I didn't have the money right then. So he just finished the vent cleaning and left his card. He did a great job on the vent cleaning and was happy with the work."

"Had a water leaking through my roof from Ice dams and damage on whole wall on the west side of my living room.  They had to replace all dry wall, insulation and match the half of my ceiling to the other half that was not damaged.  Also replace a huge 1960 window with 3 new energy  windows.   Great work you would never know that the half of the room had been redone match all the paint and knock down on the ceiling to a tee.  Very knowledgeable, professional and kept me updated on all the process that was going on."

"We have used Golden Rule before and have been impressed with their work. We called and were able to have a new water heater installed the next day. They aren't the cheapest, but they give an estimate upfront and stick to it. They do excellant work.

They wore shoe covers in our house, cleaned up after the work was done and disposed of the old water heater."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on insulation material, labor, accessibility, and whether existing insulation requires removal.

Insulation is professionally installed by measuring spaces, cutting materials to fit correctly, and placing them without gaps for optimal thermal resistance.

When it comes to fiberglass insulation versus foam board, there are a few notable differences, both aesthetically and functionally. Fiberglass insulation is soft and flexible, meaning it can be squeezed into tight spaces more easily than foam board. Fiberglass insulation also has a higher R-value, making it a better pick for colder climates. However, foam board insulation can resist moisture and pest damage much better than fiberglass.

For standard 2x4 walls, the ideal insulation has an R-value between R-13 and R-15. This level of insulation, typically around 3.5 inches thick, fits well within the wall cavity. Common options include fiberglass batts and spray foam. The best choice for your home can depend on your climate; use R-value maps, like those from Energy Star, to determine the recommended level for your region. For colder climates, you might also consider adding exterior insulation for greater efficiency. Always check with your local building codes to ensure you meet any required standards.

Air duct insulation typically lasts for 10 to 15 years or even longer, depending on the material and maintenance. It's important to conduct periodic inspections to check for signs of deterioration, such as water damage, tears, or general wear. If you find any of these issues, it may be time for repairs or a full replacement. You might also consider upgrading your insulation even if it's in good shape to improve your home's energy efficiency and enhance your HVAC system's performance with newer, more effective materials.
