We offer a wide variety of insulation options so you can meet the objectives you have in mind.
It can be mind-boggling to think of how expensive it would be to heat or cool a home if it were not for insulation. Even being under-insulated is better than no insulation at all. However, if you want to enjoy the lowest utility bills and the most comfort in your Cumming, Georgia home, we recommend contacting us at 31-W Insulation to have your home’s insulation assessed. With experience in insulation dating back to 1972, it is safe to say that we know a thing or two about achieving superior energy efficiency. We love when customers get back with us after we’ve upgraded their home’s insulation to tell us how much lower their bills are running.
It is a common misconception that once a home is built and insulated, you never have to think about insulation again. The reality is that insulation can become less effective and may get damaged. It might also be a type that was the best at the time it was installed, but with innovations in the industry, there are better choices now. If you are noticing areas that feel colder in the winter or hotter in the summer, it could be because the insulation in that area of your home isn’t doing its job anymore.
Why Should I Need More Insulation?
A common question we get at 31-W Insulation from our Cumming, Georgia customers is why a home would need more insulation if it was built with insulation in place to begin with. There are actually several contributing factors that could be in play when we do an inspection and make the recommendation to replace or upgrade.
First, there isn’t any component of a home that can’t become damaged in some way. Insulation is susceptible to water damage, degradation with age, and rodent damage. Once any of these happen, it is usually necessary to remove the insulation and replace it with new.
Another reason your home might need upgraded or replacement insulation is because what was used during your home’s construction isn’t as effective as what is on the market today. This is often the case with an older home. Not only were the products available then not comparable, but the need for energy efficiency also wasn’t as critical as it is today with rising heating and cooling costs.
Lifestyles have also changed over the years, and families in general aren’t as accustomed to temperature swings. Think back to your parents or grandparents who didn’t have or use air conditioning, and you’ll see that insulation standards would have been different then than they are now, even though nothing has really changed but our ability to withstand hotter and colder temperatures. If your home doesn’t feel comfortable to you, it could be that your older home needs more insulation. Find out for sure why you might need to make an insulation change by scheduling an inspection.
