Insulation

Asbestos Pipe Insulation
Unfortunately, sampling for analysis puts you in greater risk of being exposed.  The best option is to hire a professional.  Incorrect sampling is much more dangerous than leaving the material alone. If you do decide to undergo testing on your own, use extreme caution. Take steps to ensure that asbestos does not get on anything or become airborne...continue reading

Moisture Problems with Windows and Skylights
The best way to look after this is to remove both the sash cords and the weights. Once you have all the hardware removed, you'll need to insulate the cavities with aluminum faced insulation. Make sure to position the insulation so that the aluminum side is facing in. Next, you'll need to plug the holes in the side frames and replace the trim. The second option is to install a special plastic cover over...continue reading

Efficiently Insulated Homes Save Money on Heating and Air Conditioning
Many old heating systems such as furnaces and boilers require air in-flow. In older homes, this air was provided by air leakage through door, window frames and chimneys. In modern living spaces, the air in flow and out flow is carefully controlled through designed in and egress hatches and ducts. Because uncontrolled air flow is undesirable when it comes to modern heating systems, it is prudent to seal all air leaks with weather stripping...continue reading

The Green Foundation
Some of the more traditional methods that are used to build foundations are not the most energy efficient, and when you're considering building a home that is environmentally friendly, you should look into the more green options for the foundation as well. The more traditional slab on grade foundations are known to leak substantial amounts of energy and they are therefore not the first choice...continue reading

Like everything else, when it comes to a new construction there is a sequence that needs to be followed. As a rule, ceilings are finished first and then the walls, with the floors completed last.

Insulation Facts For Everyone
How insulation works is by stopping the air flow from exiting and entering your house, giving you better control over the temperature inside. As we all know, hot air rises which is why proper insulation in the ceiling and attic is so important, though hot air will also seep from the walls, going wherever the cool air is. During the summer, hot air will try and get inside and insulating the floors is as equally...continue reading

What are the different types of insulation I can use on my home
Insulation is not expensive, as a one-time investment for your comfort. Insulation is installed using a variety of techniques such as stapling, wiring, pasting or spraying, depending on the type of surface the material is being applied, and unlike heating and cooling equipment; it is permanent and does not require maintenance, upkeep, or adjustment. It is rated in terms of thermal resistance, called R-value, which indicates the resistance to heat flow...continue reading

Improving The Plumbing in Your Home with insulation
A good water heater won't do you much good if all the heat gets leaked out through the pipes.  Therefore you should insulate your water pipes especially the ones in the exterior walls that are more exposed to cold temperatures.  This is where you lose significant amounts of energy.  As well as reducing the amount of energy you lose as the water flows through your pipes, this technique will also reduce what is termed as standby losses...continue reading

Should I Insulate My Home
Generally, there are three ways that air travels through your home and the first of these is called convection. That means the heat is transported on the air or water and the homeowner can control this method by stopping up the air leaks. Radiation is the next method, but it doesn't mean what you might think. This only means that heat radiates from a hotter surface to a cooler one. For example, you reduce unwanted radiation by shading windows...continue reading

How Much Insulation
Air leaks are another factor that need to be taken into account when you're deciding to improve the energy efficiency of your home. Although you might think that they only occur in older homes, air leaks are also common in newer homes were the construction crews have cut corners to save on costs. Older homes also have materials that deteriorate over time and this factor contributes to air leaks...continue reading

Insulating the Siding
Usually, a siding strip is removed and a new hole will need to be bored to fill the vacant part of the wall cavity. After this is done, the nozzle that sprays the foam can be inserted and the insulation can be blown in. The best way to accomplish this is to insert the nozzle into the holes at the lowest levels and then fill until the insulation reaches the higher points. If you need to see if a cavity has no obstructions, drop a plumb line down...continue reading

Weatherproofing Doors
You need to look at the exterior doors first. Then you should turn you attention to those on the inside but only those that border on unsealed rooms like the door from the kitchen to a mudroom or one from a hallway to an unused bedroom. Running the flat of your hand along the bottom of the door will allow you to locate drafts. Dampening the skin will heighten your sensitivity to colder drafts...continue reading

Green Water Heating
The most common type of water heater is called the storage water heater and it's the most common one that's being used in the United States today.  Generally, it ranges in size form 20 to 80 gallons and it works by storing water that is heated in an insulated tank. Here, the hot water is always there and ready to be used. The problem here is that heat is always lost through the walls of the storage tank and through...continue reading

Good Insulation Is the Key to Energy Savings

When it comes to utility bills, insulation can make or break these expenses. Not having enough insulation is a common mistake made, and the result is that many homes find their heating and cooling efforts going right out the windows and doors. This causes large electric and utility bills, and a home that is not very energy efficient at all. With the right types and amounts of insulation in all the right places, you could lower your energy expenses by thousands of dollars a year, giving you fantastic savings and a home that keeps a steadier and more stable temperature no matter what season it is. Is your home drafty in the winter, and hard to keep cool in the summer? This is a sign that your home does not have enough insulation to be energy efficient.

Insulating your home properly offers a number of benefits. You may have a large number of air leaks, where air can get in and out of your home without you knowing it. Your bills and energy use will be lower, and this will have a beneficial impact on the environment because you are using less energy. You will also prevent possible water leaks through these open gaps or airways, and this will help prevent mold and water damage. Proper insulation will help seal your home up and make it more secure against insects and other pests as well. Having good insulation is recommended by all the experts, and adding insulation is one of the least expensive ways to make your home more energy efficient and save you money.

The first step to complete insulation for your home is to survey it and make note of any areas where there may be open spaces behind the walls. Any area that can lead to the basement, attic, or outside should be examined to see if insulation will help. It can be added under the siding on the outside of your home to insulate the walls when you are ready to install new siding. Rolled insulation can be added to your attic very easily and inexpensively, and it will make a big difference in your home. Blown insulation can be added into your walls to help soundproof and insulate between the rooms, and can also be used around the windows and doors for extra insulation and energy savings.

One area that is often overlooked when people consider places to add insulation in their home is the hot water pipes. You can buy insulating wraps which can be used on your hot water pipes to prevent heat loss. This will cause your hot water heater to work less, because the water stays hot longer in the pipes. You can also use rolled insulation and put it around your hot water heater for the same purpose, to keep the water hot without making the system work. Another good place for insulation is in the crawl space if your home has one. This area is commonly not considered, but large amounts of your heating and cooling can escape from this location. Lining the walls and ceiling with insulation will make your home much more energy efficient and less expensive to heat and cool.

Insulation should also be used around the soffit of your home, close to any plumbing vents, in wiring holes, and even behind the kneewalls in your home. Any place that has open areas where air can come in or go out should be evaluated for insulation. You may be really surprised at the spots you find that could be improved simply by adding some insulation. Your home will become much more comfortable, energy efficient, and you will really love the savings that you will see month after month.

If you have a home that seems drafty or has high utility bills, consider adding insulation as one of the best possible ways to resolve these issues. Insulation is available in many different forms, and can be added in almost any area no matter how big or how small. You can insulate pipes, ducts, and other system components and appliances as well. Insulation is the key to a home that is environmentally friendly, and energy efficient. There is no energy wasted, and your home will stay at a stable temperature without drafts or air leaks. The roof is another prime area for insulation and for repairs, because many times a roof can have problems with air leaks that can cause ice dams in the winter. Proper repairs and added insulation can fix these issues, and ensure an airtight fit and protection from the cold and other elements.
