"Accurate Insulation did work as a sub-contractor to TerraLogos, so it’s difficult to comment on their direct price.  The crew was on time, knowledgeable and neat.  I have a rancher with a 3,800 square foot large attic. The house was built in 1963, so it had minimal insulation.  We also have over 100 recessed lights-- a major source of air leakage.  Each of those needed to be enclosed and sealed.  The crew of 6 men spent 11 hours completing the job.  The true test will be my electric and oil bill !"

"Their plumber came out. He opened up the wall. He fixed the pipe and insulated the pipe. I have been with them for 15 years and they have fixed everything in my house and it never costs me more than $125.00. They don't try to dodge their responsibility. I have recommended them to multiple people."

"Wheaton did a completely professional job, from window selection and scheduling to installation and clean-up. They replaced 15 leaky windows (the 1920s original windows, various sizes). I went to the Silver Spring showroom and chose composite frames with external dividers ("lights"), almost the top of the line, for better insulating value and to go with the look of the house. The outside frames are wrapped in white aluminum that looks like wood -- but doesn't need to be painted (even the sills). 
The crew arrived on time and helped move the heavy furniture. They worked fast and they all knew exactly what they were doing. By 5 pm all the new windows were installed and cleaned, the outside was finished and caulked, the floors were vacuumed. They replaced the shades and reinstalled the shade brackets for one window, without being asked. They answered my questions, were polite and considerate. Highly recommend this service. You can feel the difference as soon as you walk into the house, no more drafts. These windows are definitely better than the windows the builder put in the room we added on, as the glass is not as cold to the touch. And they look beautiful inside and out!

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Insulating windows without plastic is usually the better method. Outside of simply replacing your windows, you could buy cellular shades, which trap air between the window and the home, add a window film that blocks UV rays and traps heat, or cover your windows with a low-emissivity coating called “low-E.”

You do not always need to remove old insulation before adding new. If the existing insulation is in good condition—not wet, physically damaged, moldy, or infested with pests—you can add new insulation directly on top of it for a compounding effect. You can also mix different types, such as adding blown-in insulation around existing fiberglass batts.

However, removal is recommended if the old insulation is compromised by water damage or pests. You should also remove it if you plan to install a different type of insulation, like switching from roll or batt insulation to spray foam. If the existing insulation is very old or damaged, you will likely get more benefit from removing it and starting fresh.

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.

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.

Yes, PEX pipes should be insulated in certain situations. While insulation is not always necessary for pipes running through insulated interior or external walls, it is recommended for any pipes located in uninsulated rooms, unheated areas, or outside, especially in regions with cold winters. The primary reason is to prevent freezing. Although PEX is more resistant to cracking from freezing than other materials, repeated freezing and thawing can weaken the pipes over time, increasing the risk of a burst.
