"As a retired contractor I can say that these guys do it right. Estimator/salesman (Jay) arrived right on time for his appointment and sent an estimate by email within about twelve hours. Calls were returned, questions answered and proposal was clear and to the point. Appointment was scheduled with no difficulty and the crew - two very tidy men - arrived a few minutes early for the installation. (Jake and a name I did not catch) The job consisted of spraying a confined attic area which contains an air handler and the box beam around the cellar foundation. This was all done cleanly and within a few of hours. Drop clothes were placed every where necessary and the floors were covered more than adequately.  When they left, other than the work they had done, I would not have known they had been here. 

   This was a retrofit to stop heat leakage from the attic area which contains the air handler and which was causing enormous icicles over the front entrance and cold infiltration from the cellar. This was something of an experiment to see what difference the insulation will make this winter. They have other insulation services and I will be calling them to price a couple of other projects as time and cash flow allow.  Keep in mind, spray foam is lumpy. It does not present a flat  surface when finished and no one should expect it to disappear into the background unless it is behind sheetrock. That is another kind of installation.

Insulation questions, answered by experts

If you have blown-in insulation, using an insulation vacuum will quickly and easily suck up all the insulation. Many come with built-in HEPA filters for added safety. While some people suggest breaking up large batts and feeding them into the vacuum, this can expose you to more fiberglass fibers. With batts and rolls, carefully removing them and placing them into garbage bags is a better process.

A radiant barrier is a form of insulation topped with a reflective material designed to keep homes cool during hotter months. It is generally considered worth the investment if you live in a hot, sunny climate, as the cost can be recouped over time through lower energy bills. Installation costs typically range from $0.10 to $1 per square foot. After installation, homeowners in warm climates may save between $7 and $15 per month, potentially reducing their electric bill by 5% to 10%. The exact savings will vary depending on your location and the type of barrier chosen.

The primary downside of radiant barriers is their limited effectiveness in cold climates. They are designed to reflect radiant heat, making them less beneficial in cooler conditions where heat retention is more important. 

Radiant barriers require proper installation to maximize effectiveness. Incorrect placement can lead to minimal benefits. They also do not provide insulation, meaning they should be used in conjunction with traditional insulation for optimal energy efficiency. 

Yes, it is possible to have too much insulation, which can have detrimental effects. While more insulation might seem better for energy efficiency, a home needs to "breathe" or ventilate to release moisture that accumulates inside. Over-insulating can seal a house too tightly, trapping water vapor and leading to several problems, including mold, mildew, and condensation. Homes in warm, humid climates are particularly susceptible to mold, while those in colder climates can experience condensation from temperature fluctuations. Additionally, adding more insulation than the recommended amount for your climate may not provide recoverable energy savings. To avoid these issues, consult a professional insulation contractor who can determine the optimal amount of insulation for your home.

There are several strategic ways to lower your home insurance premium. The primary one is to shop around and get quotes every few years to make sure you’re getting the best deal. Also, sometimes bundling your auto and homeowner’s insurance will get you a discount on both. Finally, try to keep your credit score up; many homeowner insurance companies use credit scores to generate quotes.
