"From the time I called to set an appointment for an estimate, through the time I received a post job email requesting information so that Dana Insulation could submit paperwork for an unexpected rebate, every step was handled perfectly. The owner, who came to write my estimate, was a delight to talk to. The scheduler was flexible and responsive. And the young men who performed my job were very respectful and professional. They took pictures before the job began, at the mid point when all of the very old insulation had been removed, and at the end showing the walls spayed with cellulose, and loose insulation at the proper depth. Thanks, Dana Insulation! I'll definitely recommend you to anyone I know who is looking to update the insulation in their home."

"If AL gave A++'s we would have provided those for Amanda and her team at Ecotelligent. She came and spent about 2 3/4 hrs. crawling in attics etc. doing thermal and regular photos. That time included going over her results and showing us where the gaps were. We were most impressed by the timeliness of herself and her team in communicating with us. We were required to leave the home with 2 cats for a little less than 24 hrs. Amanda recommended a pet friendly hotel a couple of miles away. She also compensated us for the stay there.

They were clean, efficient, communicative, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!"

Insulation installation. Visa and Mastercard accepted. In business for over 35 years.
"I had 3 companies out from Angies LIst - King-Bur was the only one that understood the issue - the house was built in 1926 and has funny angles and different roof lines - He was the only one that grasped where the insulation should go and how to accomplish it appropiately. Such a relief. One of the other companies had some crazy idea and proposed 3x the money - His guys showed up and did a great job - cleaning up afterward. Problem solved. THis company is honest and experienced enought to understand the job and was successful in doing what was needed."

Yes, you should remove old insulation if it's damaged, contaminated, or deteriorated. Signs like water damage, rodent droppings, mold, or gaps mean removal is essential to maintain energy efficiency and a safe living environment. If the insulation is intact and functioning well, removal isn't necessary. However, compromised insulation can increase energy costs and pose health risks.
Attic insulation lasts 80 to 100 years; however, its performance starts to decline after 15 years. Insulation loses effectiveness as materials like fiberglass become dirty, wet, or affected by mold and other contaminants. Regular evaluation is critical because reduced insulation performance leads to higher energy loss. A professional inspection confirms when replacement is necessary, ensuring that your home maintains peak energy efficiency and comfort.
Excess attic insulation does not enhance energy efficiency beyond an optimal threshold. When insulation surpasses the necessary level for your region’s climate, additional material does not improve heat retention and may cause moisture buildup. Maintaining the correct balance is essential because over-insulation can lead to unintended issues without lowering energy costs. A professional assessment ensures that the amount of insulation is ideal for performance and efficiency, and helps avoid unnecessary expenses.
R-value is the measure of a material’s ability to resist heat transfer and directly determines insulation performance. A higher R-value means the material retains heat efficiently during winter and minimizes energy loss in warmer months. Selecting insulation with the appropriate R-value for your specific location is essential because environmental conditions and installation areas significantly influence energy efficiency. Over time, external factors like moisture may degrade the R-value, which underscores the importance of periodic evaluation.
Insulation damage occurs in several forms, including mold growth, pest infestations, water intrusion, and electrical harm. Damaged insulation compromises heat retention and significantly increases energy expenses while posing serious health risks. Immediate removal and replacement of compromised insulation are imperative to restore optimal performance and ensure the safety of your home. Regular inspections will identify these issues early, allowing for swift corrective action that maintains efficiency and protects occupants.
