"Insulwise came highly recommended by Aeroseal for insulating our attic and garage ahead of winter. Brady, during the initial consultation, thoroughly discussed various insulation phases based on our budget. We decided on blown-in cellulose for both spaces. The team, Pat, Andrew, and Justin impressed us with their professionalism and completed the project efficiently in just 4 days. Andy also showed up a couple days to ensure everything was to our satisfaction. Their attention to detail in boosting insulation levels was evident, and it significantly improved the overall comfort of our home, maintaining consistent temperatures even during external temperature drops. While Insulwise wasn't the most budget-friendly option, their expertise and exceptional service make them our top recommendation for anyone seeking high-quality insulation solutions. Choose Insulwise for a job well done."

"Dealing with Casey Insulation was great. They installed attic and garage insulation at my daughterâ s home in one day, and were meticulous in protecting exposed areas and in cleaning up, even though there was little to no mess. Owner Bob Casey is hands-on in the process, even stopping by on the install day to check the work. His son, Sean, explained the process and showed me the attic results when finished, which I appreciated. I highly recommend this company for anyoneâ s home insulation needs."

"It was a pleasure dealing with Mincin and the final result made it worth the expenditure. They did cellulose attic insulation as well as dense packing the floor of an addition from its crawl space. Quite a difference!"

"I called to get a quote on the removal and installation for insulation in my attic. Erik Bachman was our Home Performance Specialist and was incredibly knowledgeable and honest with the quality of our existing insulation. As new home owners, the investment of installing new insulation can be overwhelming. Erik was very thorough in his inspection and was easy to talk to about what would make most sense in terms of an investment for our home. When the time is right, we will definitely give Insulwise a call for service. I am impressed with the high-level of customer service. I am relieved knowing that there is a local trust worthy company that I can call in the coming months to get the job done."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Yes, cold walls are a common indicator of poor or inadequate insulation, especially if the walls feel significantly colder than the air in the room. This suggests that heat from your furnace is escaping rather than being retained. The issue could be that the walls have no insulation, or that the existing insulation is old or has been damaged by water, moisture, or pests. Your best course of action is to hire a professional to investigate. An insulation contractor can determine if you need to add or replace insulation and can often perform the work without creating large holes in your drywall. If you suspect the problem might also be related to your heating system's performance, an HVAC technician can take a closer look.

The amount and type of insulation your home needs depends on your location, climate, and the specific installation area (attic, walls, or floors). Your local building code will typically determine the minimum required R-value. For specific recommendations, Energy Star suggests the following R-values: homes in the Southern U.S. should have R30 to R60 in attics and R13 to R25 in floors and walls; homes in moderate climates need R38 to R60 in attics and R25 to R30 in floors and walls; and homes in northern states require R49 to R60 in attics and R25 to R30 in floors and walls.

If you’re using faced insulation with paper, face the paper toward the inside of the room during the installation process. 

A good way to remember this is that the paper should face the “warm side” as it’s the vapor barrier, meaning it should face toward where the heat will be coming from.

Unfaced wall insulation is easier to cut and install, making it the better choice for a DIY project. It’s also more affordable. But if it’s unfaced, you’ll likely need to add a vapor barrier to reach your desired R-value and efficiency, as it doesn’t offer any moisture barrier.

Faced insulation uses paper or foil to create a built-in barrier and doesn’t require an extra step. It’s also more fire-resistant and safe. But it’s quite a bit more expensive and a little bit harder to work with as a DIYer.

It is usually possible to install insulation yourself, but it’s often better to hire an insulation professional. An experienced insulation pro can determine which type of insulation is best for your space and the R-value get the most value and comfort in your home. Certain types of insulation can cause skin, eye, and lung irritation, and a professional will have the equipment necessary to keep themselves safe and limit the effect on your indoor air quality after the installation. Certain types of insulation—like blown-in and loose-fill insulation—demand a professional for proper functionality and safe installation.
