"We previously had Top Gun Attic Pros replace the fiberglass insulation in our house attic. The work was incredible, the product was perfect and they were great people to work with. We were so impressed that we told our contractor that we would select our own spray foam installers (of course it was Top Gun Attic Pros) for the barn we were building. Once again John and Top Gun exceeded our expectations. One thing I didn't mention was that their pricing was VERY competitive, but I would have paid a premium for their quality of work."
"My 1950, 860 ft house had 20+ yr old dusty, pink insulation, that was even worse after the city revamped utility vaults & pushed rats into the neighborhood. I chose S.R Insulation to vacuum out, caulk open voids, and re-blow insulation. The owner set up an appointment quickly. On the day of service, he did call 15 minutes late to advise of an issue. The 3 person team arrived within an hour, set up the vacuum and bags, then removed insulation; original, wood-shingle slips; and ducting left by A/C techs. They worked between 3 to 4 hours and said they would return next business day. The two part installation, gave me an idea - I asked for an extension, so I could repair ceiling sheet rock while the attic was void. The owner agreed. He did not require partial payment. Three weeks later, I rescheduled. The install was even quicker, filling up to the stud height in white, blown insulation. He leaves behind a cardboard measuring stick to show you. The difference inside the house was immediate. I will not provide calculations, as I added front load washer/dryer to the electric usage at this same time. Later, I found my stove top vent fan blocked. I was able to pull out material from the duct, and the fan worked. Therefore I did not call the owner about this. I paid less than $1500, and thought it fair. I would use S.R. Insulation again and recommend them."
"I live in a old house, and the insulation on the attic needs to be added. City of Austin Utilities (Austin Energy) has a great rebate program for insulation, so I signed up. EnergyAttic is one of the companies listed by Austin Energy. For getting the quote, the audit person was friendly and through with his explanation about what's and why's. Finally I scheduled for the work. Kent came with his crews and basically supervised and worked on the problem and the insulation. He made sure everything was installed (seal, insulation) properly and Austin Energy auditor approved the work. The door blower/blast test took a while because of setting issue (EnergyAttic subcontracted to other company), and finally after 3 hours, we did get an excellent result. I was happy with Kent's and his crews work. They were friendly, punctual, and got the work done. They actually came back to reseal door on the furnace area. They also promised to come back if I were to work on the attic and the insulation needed to be re-sweep."
"The folks at DFW Home Insulation were great from start to finish. Allison handled all the scheduling and was very responsive. Jeremy came out for an estimate on Thursday, was prompt and professional, and had a quote ready right away. It was a very competitive so I signed up and they were able to come out and install my new attic insulation 2 days later. The day of the install they were were very prompt. The install took a little longer than expected because my house required some additional prep work, but they communicated with me about the extra time needed. Overall very pleased with the process and would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking to have extra insulation added to their attic."
"This September I had a home energy audit through Fulkrum Insulation. They said we needed some Ductwork changes and more insulation in the attic. Since having those solutions installed, my electric bill has been dramatically lower than ever before."
"Lance came out and gave me a bid for adding insulation in my attic along with a solar attic fan. I was very pleased with the whole process from the initial bid to the final product. We are waiting on better weather to add the attic solar fan. I could not be more pleased with Lance and his company employees. I will only recommend this company to others in the future. It's always a pleasure to deal with courteous and professional contractors "
"Ruben and Octavio were patient with me in explaining everything they found in the audit, answered my many questions, and ultimately went well above and beyond what I had originally asked them to do, helping to clean our vents. After spotting several leaks in my insulation, causing dust to get into our vents, they sealed them with foam, and went to great lengths to clean-up and leave the house spotless after finishing. These guys are very honest, prompt, and I will absolutely hire again and refer to friends."
"Stuart is very knowledge about HVAC units and tries to repair versus replacement. Extraordinary customer relations.
Also scheduled adding new insulation. His work is reliable. We had a few hiccups on the timeline of getting replacement unit installed due to call load. We plan to use him for normal maintenance going forward. "
Sometimes you may be able to leave the bags with your regular trash. However, that’s not always the case. Call your local waste management prior to starting the removal and ask about the proper ways to recycle or dispose of removed insulation. In many cases, your town or municipality has a designated dumpster for building waste.
Adding insulation to ceilings is an excellent way to increase the energy efficiency of your home. If your home's layout is such that you need insulation in the ceilings rather than in the roof, it's likely that at least some insulation already exists in the space. However, each additional inch of insulation you can add boosts the R-value by between 2.2 and 4.2.
Unfortunately, pipes can freeze when exposed to prolonged freezing temperatures, whether or not you have installed insulation covers. Insulation covers, however, are still an excellent idea as they can reduce the chance of your pipe freezing by keeping the pipes closer to the temperature of the water inside the pipe.
Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but the actual temperature that can cause frozen pipes can vary. Generally, it takes 12 hours for pipes to freeze at 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
Uninsulated pipes can freeze if it’s 20 degrees Fahrenheit or colder for over three hours. If your pipes are insulated, it can take six hours or longer for pipes to freeze. Note that some pipe types freeze more often than PEX pipes. Copper pipes freeze more often because the copper conducts energy and loses heat quickly.
Using plastic shrink film over the window will cut down on drafts, which makes the air inside your home feel warmer. Plastic shrink film doesn’t quite have the insulative properties of a new window or of adding insulation inside the window jamb, but it will help. Plus, it’s a cost-effective solution to keeping your home warmer.
