Energy Audit with Infrared Thermography
November 6, 2023
Insulation is material used to reduce heat loss or heat gain by providing a barrier between the inside of your home and the temperature outside. Insulation in your home will lower your energy bills and maintain your home’s temperature.
While there are quite a few options for different types of insulation, the most popular are “Blown-in” and “Foam”. What is the difference between these two options?
Blown-in Insulation
- Loose-fill insulation which is blown into the attic and walls with an electric blower.
- Made with recycled paper products.
- This is the best choice for existing, closed-up walls so there’s no need for ripping out siding or interior drywall to access wall cavities.
Foam Insulation
- An air seal plastic material is sprayed on walls, roofs, and all contoured surfaces.
- Made of two liquids (ISO and Resin) which are mixed together and reacts within seconds when sprayed, creating the foam.
- Reduce the amount of dust, allergens, and pollutant entering your home.
These insulation options provide you a way to keep the temperature inside your home where you want it.
