Attic Insulation Replacement in Lakewood Ranch
Proper insulation in your attic helps regulate the temperature in your home. It prevents heat loss through the attic in winter and keeps your home cooler in summer. Insulation helps reduce the strain on your HVAC system and can help it last longer, too.
Multiple kinds of insulation are available for attics. Fiberglass is the most common choice. You may also have blown-in cellulose, spray foam, or structural insulated panels.
Fiberglass sheets are among the least effective options for preventing heat loss in the attic. Cellulose is the most eco-friendly choice, and structured insulated panels are the most effective and expensive option.
The following signs may indicate you need attic insulation replacement services:
- Increased energy costs
- Inconsistent heating and cooling
- Drafts or hot or cold spots
- Moisture issues
- Damaged insulation
You may have damaged insulation for many reasons, including pests. Rodents can burrow into your insulation to make nests, causing tears and compression. Your damaged insulation can no longer offer proper protection.
Damage can also occur due to roof leaks, improper installation, and wear and tear with age. Depending on the type, you should replace your attic insulation every 15 to 20 years.
If minor damage occurs, we can replace the affected areas without replacing all the insulation. However, we will replace all the insulation panels if widespread damage occurs because of excessive heat, fires, or exposure to moisture.
Our technicians will begin the process by talking to you about any signs of insulation problems in the attic. As attic insulation contractors, we will inspect your attic for damage. Damaged insulation can lead to sagging ceilings and insulation fibers in or around your vents.
We remove the old, damaged pieces during replacement and seal any cracks. Our technicians will also check for ventilation problems and install the new insulation panels. Installation can take four to eight hours, depending on your attic size and insulation type.
