Insulation Installation and Services

Why Insulate?

Insulating your home is often the #1 most cost-effective home improvement measure. Ensuring you have energy efficient home insulation becomes the best first investment home owners can make to improving the comfort and saving money on electric bills. Uninsulated homes usually mean uncomfortable homes with higher utility bills. Heating and cooling dollars are wasted because the home cannot maintain the desired temperature. If your home is drafty and your heater or air conditioner is constantly running just to maintain the temperature you want, its probably because your home is uninsulated. Insulation ensures that warm air stays in during the winter keeping your home cozy and comfortable. During the summer insulation proides a barrier to the hot summer air and helps keep air conditioned air inside.

For homes with unqiue wall designs, such as many of the older homes in the Bay Area, drill and fill cellulose provides an effective means of ensuring all the walls are filled with insulation.

Types of Insulation

The effectiveness of insulation is measured by a number called the R-value. The R-value of insulation rates how effective the insulation performs for that part of the home. The higher the R-value of insulation the more effective it is a providing a thermal barrier. Advanced Home Energy installs many types of insulation depending on your home's design and goals but we always seek to maximize the R-value of insulation for your home ensuring your home is as comfortable as possible.
