Why Should You Install Insulation?

Ventilation Distribution

Without proper ventilation, your attic might become an oven, releasing all that heated air into your living space. Hot air in the attic has to be able to escape. Thus it's important to have vents installed at the eaves and along the roof ridge.

Energy Bill Save

Most homes spend around 50% of their annual energy budget on heating and cooling. Insulating the attic is a tried and true method of lowering heating costs and keeping the air conditioning out during the warmer months. Under-insulating your house may increase your seasonal energy bills by up to 20%.

HVAC Efficiency & Durability

One way to improve the energy efficiency of a home as a whole is to insulate it properly. If your home is adequately insulated, your heating and cooling system won't have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable inside temperature. Proper insulation installation, in addition to HVAC Maintenance & Tune Up, may significantly extend the life of your system.

What Types Of Insulation Do You Install?

Here are all the many insulation options you have and their corresponding applicability to the criteria above:

  • Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS)
  • Foam Board or Rigid Foam
  • Insulated Concrete Forms
  • Blanket Batt Insulation and Roll Insulation
  • Loose-Fill and Blown-In Insulation
  • Spray Foam and Foamed-In-Place Insulation
  • Radiant Barrier Insulation

How Much Does Insulation Install Cost?

New insulation may be necessary if you have a drafty home, high energy costs, moisture in the attic, different room temperatures, and a continually running HVAC system. 

The national average for blown-in insulation is $2,900, with prices ranging from $1,400 to $6,300. 

When compared to other types of insulation, such as batting, radiant barrier, and fiberglass, blown-in insulation is the more affordable option. Spray foam insulation is the most costly but also offers the best ROI.

The insulation cost is often quoted per board foot, equal to 1 square foot at 1-inch thickness. Depending on the thickness of the material, prices might range from $0.25 to $2 per inch per square foot or from $1 to $5 per square foot. 

Insulation is one of the finest investments a homeowner can make since it has a return on investment of 100 percent or more. Insulation prevents heat from escaping through the ceiling and floors during the summer and from entering during the winter. 

Depending on the kind of insulation, the R-value per inch might range from 3 to 8. To determine how effectively an insulating material works, look at its R-value.

Insulation installation labor costs around $0.25 to $0.50 per square foot, on average. The insulation type placed is a major factor in the total labor cost. 

While spray foam insulation requires more effort and preparation than batting insulation, it may be installed quickly.

How Long Does Insulation Install Take?

Insulation installation time varies depending on how much you want to do on any given day. Time commitments in different domains are flexible. Let’s talk about some of the potential areas that need insulation.

Existing Walls

Spray foam insulation of an existing wall takes two to five hours to complete. The time required varies depending on factors such as wall height, the number of floors in the house, and more.

Attics

Putting insulation in an attic may be a full day’s job. Removing outdated insulation is unnecessary since you are insulating a brand-new building. 

Instead, the most time-consuming aspect would be determining how to access various attic parts. The difficulty level is another consideration in determining how much time you devote to it.

Underground Room or Crawl Space

Compared to other areas, setting up in the crawl space would take the least time. There is just one major issue, and that is the difficulty of getting there.

Rim Joists

Additionally, the space next to the rim joists will need less time to insulate. Once again, the layout and accessibility of the basement is the only thing standing in the way of this area’s use.

Sizing Up the Typical Home

To put it all together, an average-sized home adds about a week to the time it takes to insulate a whole house. Some estimates place the typical house size in the 2,687-square-foot range. The dimensions will change based on location, preferences, and available funds.

Do-It-Yourself Or Hire a Professional?

Choosing a team to undertake the insulation work is the last consideration. The time it takes to do any given task independently will vary substantially based on the individual’s degree of experience. The quickest way to have anything installed is to hire a professional.

As claimed by some businesses, a skilled crew could foam insulate a 1,200-1,300 square foot space in as little as five hours.

Signs That My Home Needs Insulation?

Our staff has compiled this list of nine warning indicators to assist you in determining whether or not your house is improperly insulated.

Ambient Temperature Variability

In a well-insulated home, the temperature in each room stays about the same. However, if the insulation is subpar, there will be significant temperature differences across rooms.

This is a byproduct of heat being kept in rooms with better insulation and lost in others that may need an upgrade.

Soaring Energy Bills

Keeping a house at a comfortable temperature requires a lot of energy. This is especially true if you reside in a state that often experiences very hot and extremely low temperatures.

The problem gets much more serious when your house’s insulation is inadequate. With low insulation quality, heating and cooling systems must operate continuously to provide a pleasant indoor environment.

Constant monitoring would result in astronomical power costs. Spending money on quality insulation for your house can save money in the long run on energy costs.

Consistent Freezing Of Pipes

Even if you live in a region where temperatures drop below freezing during the winter, you can rest assured that your plumbing is protected within the walls of your home. That is, if your insulation was installed correctly.

Low temperatures within a poorly insulated building may lead to expensive pipe damage. The prices connected with repairing and replacing pipes might dwarf the costs involved with having an insulation specialist install extra insulation to improve the degree to which your property gets protected.

Drafts

Poor insulation allows outside air and winds to enter the home, chilling the air. A common complaint from new homeowners is the presence of drafts, even after all the windows and doors have been sealed.

If you can’t pinpoint the source of the drafts in your house, poor insulation is likely to blame.

Freezing Surfaces

If you find the floors and ceilings to be uncomfortably chilly at night, or if you feel the cold of the walls, poor insulation may be to blame.

Icy Barriers

Thanks to proper insulation, you won’t lose any heat produced by your heater, stove, or fireplace. Amid a snowy winter, this may be a lifesaver.

Water runoff might enter your gutters if the heat from your house escapes through the ceiling and melts snow on your roof. This may cause them to clog if the water refreezes. Dangerous icicles may form as a result of this procedure as well.

Roof insulation might be helpful if you have problems with icicles or ice jams in your gutters.

Pests

Insulation has two purposes: it maintains a comfortable home temperature and prevents unwanted animals from entering.

Water Bursts

If your attic becomes damp and moldy when it rains a lot, the dampness and mold might be ruining your insulation. New insulation will prevent moisture from getting inside.

Noise Transmission

Insulation is an excellent way to prevent unwanted street noise from entering your home and to keep in sounds you don’t want.

If you have been having difficulties sleeping because of the noise of the street, adding insulation to your home may help ease noise issues from neighbors and get a better night’s rest.

FAQs

The installation of insulation may require a permit in some areas. Most building codes regulate insulation installation to ensure that homes are properly insulated. Some types of insulation may require a permit, such as spray foam insulation. It’s best to check with local authorities if you have any doubts about whether or not you require special authorization.
