"Instal insulation . Very friendly, fast and clean. Tech's very professional and as I had to pick up my son from school, I left them alone. They were gone when I got home and every thing was done with no mess."
"I've had ice dams for years. I finally researched it enough to realize it was an insulation problem (I wish I had been smart enough to figure it out sooner). Anyway Speciality Insulation came out and gave me a truly reasonable estimate. The technician found an uninsulated heating pipe, missing batts, in addition to the original find of inadequate insulation. They fixed all of that. I have a room that was perennially cold, it's warm now, no ice dams and I am sure my gas bill will go down. They cleaned up after themselves and were very pleasant people. Very pleasant, efficient and did what they said they could do for an affordable price."

"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."
"Overall, Jim and his crew worked efficiently and long hours (7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.) When they couldn't figure out how to manage taking the air handler through the crawl space opening, they called Randy. It had to be disassembled, which is one of the positive features of the Amana, and then reassembled on spot.
I am very glad that we had the duct cleaning company also do pest control, because the ACI crew discovered hobo and brown recluse spider carcasses in the crawl space, as well as dried cat urine on the visqueen and in the insulation.
We had not realized how much damage the cat urine had done to the ductwork until the ducts were removed. There were rusted holes and corrosion streaks throughout the ducts!
The first day was spent mostly by removing the old equipment, which apparently had been installed used and incorrectly, ductwork, visqueen, and insulation. They were very concerned about keeping the house clean and tidy. The second day was spent with the installation of the new components and getting it in working order. The crew had to come back an extra day, because they lacked the necessary supplies, such as enough visqueen and insulation, to complete the final steps. The entire crew was friendly and answered both my questions and spoke with my husband, via telephone. Very nice, indeed.
Just today, October 20, Jim came back to show me how to work the thermostat because "replace air filter" scrolled across the screen.
Randy, when showing us the possible equipment to be installed, explained the Avista rebate and tax credit that would be available with the purchase of the new equipment. He is handling the Avista rebate, which is what I call substantial. We haven't received it yet. He also worked with us to make replacing the system more affordable.
As a side note, we did not know at the time of purchase that the seller had purchased the house from a person, who had bought it from a lady who had 13 cats. He flipped the house. We found this information out from neighbors. We didn't notice any cat urine smell because each time we visited the house all the windows and doors were wide open; we attributed it to the fact that that was the way the seller liked living. We have since found urine smell on the walls in many of the closets and near the vents. We have used Nature's Miracle, which seems be helping. There should be house-fax just like carfax. I thought that was what inspectors and real estate agents were supposed to do.
All in all, we are glad that the work is done and that ACI did it and that we found them, and other companies, through Angie's List. Thank you. "
These two types of foams are similar chemically, but they are applied in a much different way and each has its own pros and cons. Spray foam can only be used if the area where you will be installing the installation is wide open and easy to access. Injection foam should be used where it's cost-prohibitive to remove the walls that are placed over the insulation. Spray foam is a much less expensive process and requires less expertise.
Hanging a thick blanket over your windows will help to keep the heat inside, but only a little. Covering the glass will also prevent the sunlight from getting in, which might actually decrease the efficiency of your window overall. If you get to the point where you’re hanging blankets over your window to keep warm, call in an expert to seal around your windows to prevent warm air from escaping. They may also recommend replacing old windows that aren’t as insulative as newer window technology. Sealing a window isn’t terribly expensive and can make a big difference.
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.
Yes, you can use too much bubble wrap. If you overdo it with the wrapping, it can strain the top of your box and break open the taped seal, risking the chance that the contents of the box could fall out or break. Use enough wrapping to fully cover your item without compromising the security of your box.
Polyisocyanurate foam, or polyiso for short, has the highest R-value per square inch: 6.5 to 6.8. Polyiso is a rigid foam that comes with a reflective foil on both sides to serve as a radiant barrier. Given its high R-value, rigid foam is usually meant for foundations and basement walls.
