Attic Insulation
Add Comfort & Energy-Efficiency To Your Home
Kraz Construction wants to help you lower your energy bills, and the best place to start is in your attic. As warm air rises throughout your house, it escapes through the attic and is replaced by cooler air. During the summer and winter seasons, if the insulation in your attic is thin, your thermostat could be running the furnace or air conditioning more often than preferred, causing your utility bills to skyrocket. The right amount of insulation keeps the temperature you want within your home for a longer period of time, giving your HVAC system a much-needed break.
Kraz Construction’s Insulation Process
Our insulation process typically takes between 1 day to complete installation. Before the process begins, we start by checking your home’s R-rating, which indicates how much heat stays inside. The recommended insulation rating should be R-38. Homes that were built in the 1970s or earlier have around 1-4 inches, which is between an R-1 and R-9 rating, or 90% less than the recommended R value. Our steps for insulating an attic include:
- Install Baffles – These provide channels for air flow through certain areas of the attic
- Check for Proper Ventilation – We ensure your attic has the right ventilation from ridge vents to intake vents for adequate air circulation
- Set Up Insulation Machines – Once the previous steps are done, we bring up our machines and spread insulation over your attic floors. Depending on the layout of your attic, the procedure usually takes 1-3 hours to complete.
After your new insulation has been laid out, it won’t collapse or shrink and we do a thorough check to make sure it stays intact. We are your expert insulation contractors with over 90 years of experience in the industry. Our work is backed by our Lifetime Warranty and trusted by clients who received quality, lifelong insulation results.
