"Would not recommend. I replaced all of the windows in my first house with North Country Windows. Then moved to a new home and replaced all windows with North Country Windows. Have tried filing 2 claims with them at the second home, only to be told that they will not cover the damage. The first event, was the kitchen window was leaking into the wall and we didn't notice until the drywall started to bulge and crack. A North Country contractor came and fixed the window so it didn't leak any more, but they would not do anything for the wall and drywall damage. Then, the paint started coming off of all of the aluminum trim on every window that I have. I called to file a claim and have them repair. I was told this was an aluminum issue that they were aware of, however, they were not covering it. They said that they could come and repair the trim, however, I would have to pay them for the repairs. I had actually referred friends to North Country Windows. And after replacing every window in two different homes, this customer service is unacceptable. I would not recommend this company to anyone again. There are plenty of window companies that offer comparable windows with much better customer service. One Star rating is a stretch in my opinion. Jason W., Kearney, NE"

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.
