When considering upgrading your home’s insulation, you need to understand R-value. It is the thermal resistance or resistance to heat flow an insulator has. It is important that it will be installed properly throughout the home to maximize energy efficiency levels. The greater the value, the more effective the insulation will be. Insulation with a high R-value will properly insulate your home.

It offers great benefits to protect the house and its occupants and make them comfortable. Insulation with high R-value will naturally flow from warmer areas to cooler areas and helps resist this airflow through walls, ceilings, roofs and other surfaces of the home. And the best part is that it stops heat from exiting the house especially during winter and entering the house in summer which acts as a barrier between you and the outside conditions. A home insulation with high R-value will help keep the desired temperature in your house all year round and protects it against cold in winter and excess heat in summer. It will also reduce noise pollution.
With a high R-value, it will give the best insulation that is very energy efficient and will need very little additional heating and cooling in your home and improves comfort. A well-insulated and well-designed home provides year-round comfort, cutting cooling and heating bills and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

It has been hot in Sterling this week, and summer has only just begun. If you are concerned about your air conditioning bills or if your AC has been running all day, but when you go upstairs it is still hot, you may want to consider adding insulation to your attic and crawl spaces.
The insulation in older homes can be less efficient than the insulation that we use today. It can “shrink” so it no longer fits between the beams, or it could be of a lesser R-value than you really need.
Older homes actually may not be insulated at all, or may have large sections of the home that are missing insulation.
With cellulose insulation and spray foam insulation, it is easier than ever to add insulation to a home that is already built with minimal disruption. Do throw money out the windows this summer on air conditioning. Contact Custom Insulation Company, Inc for information on how to make your home more energy efficient.

Spray foam insulation is the current popular trend, but how does it stand up compared to rolled insulation or blown insulation for homes in and around Worcester MA? Chances are your home has a combination of both. This has been the Hebron home insulation trend for years. over the last 80 years.
Spray foam insulation is a liquid applied insulation product that covers the vertical rafters and is applied to the attic ceiling. Immediately the spray foam insulation expands and fills any holes, sealing off the attic from the outside, thus making it into its own conditioned space. This eliminates the need to be ventilated. When the two types of insulation are combined, they create a sealed air space that saves energy. There are drawbacks. There is more space to heat and cool and your HVAC equipment might not be able to handle the upgrade.
With that said, the benefits of combining the different types of insulation far exceed the drawbacks. Even though your space needs to be conditioned, that doesn't necessarily mean pumping in air-conditioning, it may only mean dehumidifying the space. A simple dehumidifier can fix that problem and may not even be needed at all.
