"MARC JONES CONSTRUCTION TEAM ARRIVED ON SCHEDULE AND INSTALLED THE SOLAR ARRAY OVER TWO DAYS. ON MONDAY, WE HAD INSPECTION AND A FEW DAYS LATER THE ATTIC WAS INSULATED WITH FOAM TO REDUCE HEAT LOAD ON AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTHLY EXCEPT FOR INADVERTANTLY UNPLUGGING THE SYSTEM CIRCUITBREAKER DURING THE FOAMING OPERATIO. "
"Service tech went into attic. Took pictures of depth and coverage of insulation throughout the attic. Explained codes. Everything was as it should be. He didn't try to sell me any unnecessary services or products. Service tech was efficient, polite and knowledgeable."
"Roberto was the technician and he was very professional, polite, and personable. He inspected the rest of our system and told us things that needed to be changed or repaired. He showed me pictures of everything. Everything he told me about was accurate. He quoted me a price for R38 insulation , Some of our ducts were plastic and he recommended them to be changed. I agreed completely and didn't know they were plastic. I would have had them done the work but I had no price comparisons to make and besides I didn't have the money right then. So he just finished the vent cleaning and left his card. He did a great job on the vent cleaning and was happy with the work."

Green Energy Barrier offers the premier solution to this problem. \n\n Unlike typical home installation products that merely help to resist heat, Green Barrier Energy��s reflective attic insulation system reflects heat by acting as a radiant technology. This technology is so powerful and effective, it is the same radiant heat barrier used in NASA��s space suits. \n\n Green Energy Barrier Will Keep You Warmer in the Winter, Cooler in the Summer! \n\nStart putting dollars back in your pocket TODAY! \n\n \n\n
"Nathan Pol and his crew were fabulous! He is the only contractor who contacted me and left a message. He came out the very next day gave me an estimate and we talked about how the job was to be done. Nathan obviously knows his business. I'm very picky about how things are done at my house. Nathan is very picky how his workers do the job. That's why we got along so well together. He gave me an excellent price, and even threw in a couple of extra requirements that I had at no extra charge. He was able to do the job 2 days later. The guys called me ahead of time, and we talked about how the job was going to be done before they started. They had all the right equipment with them and when they were finished, they even swept my driveway! I could not have done as good a job myself. What a gem of a company! It's impossible for me to write a review expressing my happiness with their work. I will definitely call Nathan to work on my HAVC system whether it's for just a checkup or to have a total replacement. I used to have about 4 to 6 in of insulation in my attic. Now I have 24! What an improvement this is going to be to my heating bill this winter. A special thanks to Michael, Justin, and Bryan who did the work. And also a big thank you to Kelly, the receptionist at Pol's Heating and Cooling. It really pays to hire the best people, and get the best price! They are the ones that do the best work. Thank you!"
No, 55 degrees Fahrenheit is not too cold for a house, as it’s a temperature that will keep your pipes and appliances from freezing. Well-insulated homes can even go to 50 degrees, but check with an HVAC pro before opting for such a low temperature. Stick to 55 degrees to be on the safe side.
Winterizing your outdoor plumbing keeps your outdoor spigot from freezing and potentially bursting. This includes draining residual water out of the pipe and spigot after turning the valve off, then removing garden hoses and other attachments from the spigot before winter comes. Insulating the pipe that leads to the spigot and installing a freeze-proof faucet also help, as does installing an outdoor faucet protector.
Insulating an unheated garage can still be worth it. For instance, insulating an attached garage can help with heat loss from your house in general, and it can also make it easier to store electronics in your garage without worrying about them being exposed to extreme temperatures.
If you use your detached garage as a workspace, insulation can still make a difference. Plus, you can use space heaters and a window unit AC to help condition the space while you work without installing heating.
Vapor barriers in attics are a bit outdated and most areas no longer recommend them for attic spaces. For vented attics, the best method is usually to install drywall and cover it with latex paint before attaching insulation fiberglass, cellulose, or foam insulation. When renovating an attic to use as a living space, a contractor can guide you on the best way to cover insulation.
