"Owner, Jim Mass, responded promptly to set up a personal visit to explain the process and options to myself and my wife. Once the work was scheduled; crew arrived on time and work, including total clean up, was completed within the estimated time of less than day. All was completed within 1 week of the owner's initial visit. I would definately recommend Insulation Specialists to friends, which I have done."

"My whole experience with Thermal Comfort was wonderful. Normally I'm one of those people who build or repair something myself. I was very comfortable with Dason Schultz. He is very courtious and through. I felt his company would give me the bang for my bucks. His quote was by far the most affordable. When his employees showed up (ON TIME :) ) they immediately asked me what I wanted done and where. They worked as a team and were Great! Actually they went out of their way to do a Tremendous Job! Already two of my friends are looking into using Thermal Comfort as their Insulation Specialist."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

When temperatures are too cold, it can keep ice from melting, and products like ice melt and rock salt are ineffective. Water turns to ice in temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Ice melts on its own when temperatures reach above 32 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Ice melt loses effectiveness in temperatures below -25 degrees Fahrenheit, and rock salt works in temperatures 5 degrees Fahrenheit and warmer.

The R-value is a rating that measures an insulation's thermal resistance—in other words, how well it insulates. A higher R-value provides more protection for your pipes, and all pipe insulation materials should have an R-value listed on the product description or label. Each insulation type has its own R-value, which typically falls between one and five for most pipe insulation. When making a selection, Energy.gov recommends choosing a pipe wrap that is at least one inch thick, and the International Code Council (ICC) suggests choosing a material with an R-value of at least 3.

When installing metal siding, a high-quality house wrap is considered the best protection against condensation and moisture infiltration. House wraps can increase a home's efficiency significantly. However, a house wrap is not a replacement for a vapor barrier because it can be permeable when moist air passes through siding. This is why it's essential to follow manufacturer instructions for insulating siding when installing new siding.

Experts use advanced techniques and tools to assess existing insulation levels and identify gaps. They implement strategic placement of new insulation to ensure complete coverage, optimizing thermal resistance and energy efficiency.

You should not use spray foam insulation in several specific areas. Avoid applying it in spaces exposed to high temperatures, such as near electrical boxes or recessed lighting, unless the foam is specifically rated for such use. Applying foam near electrical boxes can damage the wiring, and using it too close to lightboxes or recessed lights creates a potential fire hazard. Additionally, do not use spray foam in areas prone to shifting or movement, as this can lead to cracks and gaps in the insulation. Finally, open-cell foam is unsuitable for use below ground or in areas exposed to moisture because it can absorb water, which compromises its insulating effectiveness.
