Q: What keeps ice from melting?

• <div><p>When temperatures are too cold, it can keep ice from melting, and products like ice melt and rock salt are ineffective. Water turns to ice in temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Ice melts on its own when temperatures reach above 32 degrees Fahrenheit. </p><p>Ice melt loses effectiveness in temperatures below -25 degrees Fahrenheit, and rock salt works in temperatures 5 degrees Fahrenheit and warmer.</p></div>

Q: How do you keep ductwork from sweating in a crawl space?

• <div><p>Ductwork sweats for the same reason you might find beading on your windows or why cold drinks drip in the heat&mdash;temperature difference. When you see your ductwork and you notice sweating, that's a sure sign that your system is not operating anywhere close to peak efficiency. The best way to keep ductwork from sweating is to wrap it in inadequate insulation. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to remove old attic insulation?

• <div><p>The life span of insulation is between 20 and 100 years. At that time, existing insulation can fall victim to gravity, resulting in compression, which reduces its insulating protection or R-value. If you can't simply add more insulation over the existing material, removing the old to increase the effectiveness of the new can reduce your energy bills and make the project worth the time and money investment.</p></div>

Q: Is closed-cell foam good for insulation?

• <div><p>Closed-cell foam may come with a higher price tag, but it&rsquo;s worth the investment because of its strength and durability. This material offers excellent thermal and moisture resistance, contributing to its long life span. Its construction enhances energy efficiency, which can lead to reduced heating and cooling costs over time.</p></div>

Koala provided blown-in insulation to our attic and foam insulation to the ceiling in our garage. They were professional, polite and respectful of our home. They did a great job and we would recommend them to anyone looking for this type of project.
