Insulation is the foundation of energy savings and comfort in homes and businesses. Home insulation or building insulation provides resistance to heat flow. Reducing heat flow ultimately helps maintain a comfortable living space and can reduce energy bills.
The physics of heat flow cause warm air and cold air to flow toward each other. This heat flow continues until there is no longer a temperature difference. This results in warm air trying to escape a home or building during winter and hot air trying to enter a home or building during summer.
When this happens your heating or cooling system has to work harder to maintain your desired indoor temperature, which drives up your energy bills. Ensuring that your home or business is properly insulated results in an effective thermal barrier to reduce heat flow, helps keep energy bills low and can make your home or business more comfortable.

As a builder or contractor, you may be inclined to consider taking on the job of installing insulation in your building project yourself. Since you frequently tackle pieces of your construction projects on your own, you can handle this one as well, right? Although this may seem both efficient and cost effective, it’s not in the best interest for you or the future homeowner. In this blog post let’s look at three reasons why insulating your home building project independently is not the best choice and why it’s better to leave the job to a professional instead.
It’s no secret that the average cost of professional installation can be expensive, but the hidden expenses of self-installed insulation can easily create more out-of-pocket costs than you would expect. Professional contractors have all the necessary tools and equipment needed to correctly install insulation in a timely, efficient manner. Chances are you’ll have to purchase or rent the needed equipment for your job. If you purchase and install the wrong insulation, replacement costs stack up quickly. Other costly mistakes to avoid if you attempt to install insulation include increased energy bills and repairs from long-term damage caused by leaks and inadequate insulation levels from incorrectly installed insulation. Long-term damages can include mold, rust, and ice dams that form in and outside the home.
