Q: Is bubble wrap or dish foam better?

• <div><p>Bubble wrap is better for moving since it can be cut to size, whereas dish foam comes in precut sheets that are harder to manipulate. However, if you&rsquo;re packing items like dishes, wine glasses, picture frames, or mirrors, dish foam will protect them better. Ensure you measure your box beforehand so you know what size dish foam to purchase. </p></div>

Q: How can you tell if ducts have enough insulation?

• <div><p>If you feel your energy bills are too high or your HVAC system is working harder than necessary to maintain the correct temperature in your home, you may have an under-insulated home. If you&rsquo;re unsure, consider having your system&rsquo;s efficiency assessed by a local independent energy auditor.</p></div>

Q: Is it normal for my attic to be hot?

• <div><p>It is normal for the attic to be hotter than the rest of the house in the summer, but only by about 10 or 20 degrees. Attics that aren&rsquo;t properly insulated or ventilated can reach temperatures of 130 degrees or more which can cause damage to the home&rsquo;s structure, including the roof, wood framing, and HVAC system. </p></div>

Q: Where should you not put insulation in the attic?

• <div><p>Don&rsquo;t install insulation near water heaters, oil burners, or any other object that gets hot. Many insulation materials are fire-resistant, but not entirely fire-proof, so you should take precautions to keep hot things away from fiberglass. This is also why it is imperative to box off lighting fixtures and breaker boxes.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to have insulation installed?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-insulation-cost.htm">cost to install insulation</a> is around <b>$1,800</b>, but you could pay anywhere between <b>$500 and $4,500</b>, depending on various factors.

"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."
