Q: Does plaster insulate better than drywall?

• <div><p>Plaster itself has a higher R-value than drywall. However, there are other considerations surrounding plaster and insulation. As a general rule, it's easier to obtain consistency in insulating value and quality when working with drywall rather than plaster. Plaster walls often don't contain any insulation behind the wall covering by design, and careful evaluation is necessary when choosing to add it.</p></div>

Q: Is doubling up insulation a good idea?

• <div><p>Doubling the insulation in your home also doubles the R-value of said insulation. In other words, by adding more insulation, you can reduce the heat loss by half. Most homes benefit from increasing insulation. Older homes, in particular tend to have less insulation as is, so doubling your insulation could drastically reduce your energy bills, keep your home more comfortable, and take the strain off your HVAC system.</p></div>

Q: How do I reduce heat in my upstairs rooms?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Do tankless water heaters need to be insulated?

• <div><p>Insulation provides additional protection for your tankless water heater. Even if the unit is installed inside the house, it&rsquo;s still a good idea to wrap the unit up with insulation batts, especially if you live in cold climates. For outdoor units, you can build an insulated box around the tankless water heater for freeze protection.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material to cover plants from frost?

• <div><p>Garden blankets and frost cloths are the best things to use to protect trees and plants from frost. They are made from polypropylene fabric, which is lightweight, breathable, and dries fast. If you can&rsquo;t get garden blankets or frost cloths before the freeze, you should use lightweight blankets, sheets, or towels.</p></div>

Good value and true to the estimate. They went the extra mile and put in an insulating sheet on the access panel. Only reason I gave them 4.5 was a minor lack of organization (e,g.,went to wrong house initially, ran out of materials). Nothing they didn't remedy, however, and I would hire...
