Insul Kings is a fully licensed and insured weatherization contractor specializing in weatherization work (adding insulation to home), energy audits, whole house air-sealing, and the installation of various types of insulation for both commercial and residential projects. We are a proud partner of Mass Save & NH Save and are rated in the top 5% of their contractor scoring.

"Insul-Kings is wonderful to work with. They called in the morning to narrow the arrival time, which is very considerate. Nate and his crew arrived on time and CRANKED like a well oiled machine. I have a 4' crawl space. You can barely crouch. No problem! That's why God invented knee pads. They foamed and installed the insulation like it was their own home. It was a work of art. and came out better than I imagined. They patiently indulged my "old man" inquisitiveness. The crew represented Insul-Kings very well. I highly recommend them. This was done through the Mass Save program. So the $2100 job only cost me about $500.00"

"Rick was fantastic! He worked around my schedule, made sure he had all the right materials, and did outstanding work at a very fair price. He also took great care to clean up afterwards and leave everywhere he worked looking just like he found it. He even took care of a couple other small “to-dos” unrelated to the job, which was a huge time and money saver! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rick to anyone and everyone, and I know I’ll 100% use him again for future projects. Thank you!"

Dolphin Insulation has completely changed the traditional approach to insulating homes with our very unique processes and materials installed by highly skilled specialists. Ultimately, we create for homeowners the perfect indoor, all-season climate for them no matter how hot, cold, or even noisy it is outside. Our customers tell us their entire living experience in their home has been improved 100% after we insulate.

"We cannot say enough good things about Dolphin Insulation. They replaced the existing insulation in our entire house and addressed some mold related issues we came across along the way. We are delighted with the results. Our house is much tighter and drafts we used to feel are gone. The whole process took about 2 weeks, including removing the old insulation, prepping and blowing in the new insulation. We are talking about the roof over a bedroom over a double garage, the main house and the cathedral ceiling for a family room. Go to their website and see some of the projects they have tackled. What you see is what you get. From our very first contact right through the installation process everyone we came into contact with was professional, informative and very helpful. Dolphin was upfront on their timing for the project, in what was their busiest time of the year, and called us ahead of time to let us know they were running a day or two late. All the crew who came to our house throughout the process were polite, friendly, hardworking and took the time to answer any questions we had. They were flexible and worked around other contractors who were in our house at the same time. Dolphin adapted to issues that cropped which resulted in more work that they took on. Every day they cleaned up after themselves as best they could. Amanda, the owner, even stopped by towards the end to bring over some parts they need to protect lights in our family room. It is also clear everyone believes in the technology they use, and that what they do is more than just a job for the crew. As far as we are concerned this is the best and greenest insulation solution out there. It takes time to install but it is well worth it. No toxic fumes and you don't have to move out of your house. This is not the cheapest solution you can come across but it is worth every penny."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Yes, insulating your cold water pipes is a great way to prevent condensation. When warm, humid air meets cold pipes, condensation forms, which can drip and cause moisture issues in your home. Pipe insulation acts as a barrier between the warm air and the cold pipes, keeping condensation at bay and helping you avoid potential problems like mold or structural damage.

Not necessarily. A higher R-value simply means that the insulation has a higher heat resistance and performs better in terms of how much heat passes through the material. This can be better for some homes, or it can be too high of an R-value for other homes. Again, your climate zone determines whether the insulation is better for your home.

The life span of fiberglass insulation can be as long as 80 to 100 years, but because of changing building codes, it’s best to get your insulation checked every 10 to 15 years. Signs of degrading fiberglass insulation include bits of batts on the floor or batts detached from frames. Having optimal, healthy insulation in your home will improve its energy efficiency, lowering your monthly bills.

The cost to rent an insulation vacuum ranges between $250 and $350 per day. The price will increase if you choose to rent for additional days, but you may get a discounted daily rate if you rent it for a whole week, which could cost up to $1,000. Once you've removed the insulation and are ready to replace it, the cost to rent a blown-in insulation machine ranges between $100 and $500.

If you have bubble wrap lying around the house and you don’t care about the odd look, taping bubble wrap over a window is a very affordable way to insulate it. Another inexpensive option for insulating windows is to add new caulk around the glass. This step quickly cuts down on air drafts for older windows, and a tube of caulk only costs a few dollars. Adding plastic shrink film around the glass is another cost-effective option. You can purchase a kit of plastic film for a few dollars per window.
