"Could not ask for a better experience with a home project. The two young men sent to do the work were most courteous, on-time, professional and thorough in their work keeping us informed of each action and approx. timeline. These young men, and the services performed, truly reflect the service commitment of the owners to their customers like us! We are most pleased with the work and look forward to further benefitting from the work with our insulation needs. Would rehire, if needed. Would, sans hesitation or equivocation highly recommend this service provider - BlownInsulation.comm"

"It went pretty well. There was some tape residue left on our hardwood floors from the installers using blue painter's tape. We were reimbursed for the damages. However, I would recommend that they don't do this on future customers' floors, especially in an older home like ours."

"I had been having a terrible problem with frozen pipes during this awful winter. I called this company because of Angie's List reviews to see if they could help me. The owner, Bill, and the person who actually did the work, Matthew, came and checked out my situation. My home is 83 years old and the age of the house often causes problem for companies and workers used to more modern houses with accessible plumbing and dry wall. Comfort Zone reassured me that they could handle it. He brought two others with him to help. It was an all day job and some glitches and unforeseen difficulties cropped up. But by the end of the day, things seemed to be in order and the problems taken care of. It was very messy work, but they did a good job of cleaning up after themselves and I appreciated that as I don't always see that practice when I hire people. Bill the owner said several times that he was guaranteeing that my pipes were finished freezing and I believe him. I won't be able to check that until we get those frigid days with below zero wind chills again, but I believe that if there is an issue, this company will honor that unwritten guarantee. I was very satisfied dealing with the company and with Bill and Matthew. They seemed to take pride in their work and I felt they were honest with me throughout. I would use them again and recommend them as well. A bonus was the 10% discount given to Angie's List members which save me about $170.

The owner said several times that he was guaranteeing that my pipes were finished freezing and I believe him. I won't be able to check that until we get those frigid days with below zero wind chills again, but I believe that if there is an issue, this company will honor that unwritten guarantee." Unfortunately, the freeze came this week and the pipes froze again. The owner of the company came out to look when I called, but nothing was done. He told me he would have his crew put more insulation on an exposed pipe "when we have a job in your area." He advised I aim a small heater on the pipes. I did so for 12 hours. No luck. So, this morning, I had to pay the plumber $275 to unfreeze my pipes. It certainly looks now as if my $1700 from last March was a waste of money. If this company shows up soon to back up their guarantee, I will update this review again. As of now, I am very disappointed."

"They were extremely friendly and were very punctual. They were even able to get us in a week earlier than expected! We had another company out for a quote and it was night and day. The other company spent maybe 5 minutes looking at the problem (Enviromax spent at least 30 minutes) and then never even sent the estimate and also told us we would have to wait at least 6 weeks!"

"Very prompt. Very professional.
Only drawback, none of the inside blinds fit the windows when they were done. They were too large for window opening. Some paint chipped off walls when removing the metal window sills. To be expected. Nothing that couldnt be fixed easily."

"The salesperson who came out was very nice and professional - however, he did not tell me that I needed to have everything in the basement 3 feet from the walls.  This caused us to scramble on the day of installation and i'm certain that this made it more difficult for the installers as well.  Additionally, no one had warned me of how strong the smell would be initially and I had to scramble a bit to get my very young family out of the house to avoid it and/or off-gassing.  The installers arrived on time and were ready to roll.  They did an excellent job insulating the rim joists and did a pretty good job of cleaning up.  There were some spots where I had to scrape the insulation off of the floor and wall.  Overall, I would recommend them for small jobs such as this.

"We had a guy come out and assess our insulation and he was kind of creepy. The way he talked, the way he went up in the attic and grabbed a handful of insulation, showed us what was there and got it all over the couch and the floor, and he ended up telling me  that he didn't think that I needed anymore insulation. I guess he was honest and I was a bit creeped out. He didn't make a bid because he didn't think I needed any more insulation. I'm pretty certain that we would not call them again."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Structural insulated panels and rigid foam boards have the highest R-value of any insulation that contractors commonly use, with R-values reaching up to around 8.0. These types of insulation are best in extremely cold climates, but they’re generally preferred for new construction, as they can be challenging to retrofit. Blown-in and loose fill insulation provide the next best insulative value, provided the installation is done properly. It’s important to choose an insulation type that meets your needs based on climate, as maximizing R-value may not always be financially worthwhile if you live in a moderate climate.

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.

Opting for insulated ducts can lead to significant long-term savings on your energy bills and contribute to a more efficient HVAC system. The precise amount you can save depends on various factors, including your climate, usage patterns, and the insulation's quality. However, on average, insulated ducts can result in savings of up to 20% on your annual heating and cooling costs, according to ENERGY STAR®.

Buying a house with vermiculite insulation is not recommended without going through a proper testing process. Vermiculite insulation can potentially contain asbestos, which poses health risks when disturbed. While it is possible to purchase a home with vermiculite insulation, you should have it tested for asbestos, and ensure proper containment if asbestos is present. If asbestos is present, you will want to hire a professional to remove it, ideally before you move in.

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.
