Rhode Island Insulation

  • What would prevent me from not qualifying for rebates?

    Factors that may disqualify you from rebates include outdated electrical systems and tenants receiving heating assistance, which would be processed through a separate program.

  • How do I know if my house is insulated?

    There are many ways. Most likely when other houses in the neighborhood have snow on their roofs and yours is already melted that's a sign of heat loss through your attic usually meaning you have no insulation in your attic. High heating bills, drafts, cold walls even when heat is on, boilers constantly kicking on and off shows heat loss instead of a consistent temperature, and condensation on walls. There are many signs, but most homes prior to 1950 are not insulated. The best way to know for sure is to have a residential insulation contractor in RI remove a piece of siding and drill a hole through the side wall. Sometimes attics are insulated because someone had access to them, that does not mean the walls are insulated.

  • What are the advantages to an insulated house?

    A properly insulated house completed with help from a residential insulation contractor in RI can save you up to 50% on your heating bills, save you on electric because your boiler wont kick on and off as much. Also in the summer air condition does not have to be on as high, you will be using less electric. Most dust in a house comes from wall cavities that are not insulated. Dust settlement in walls occurs over a period of times and drafts and breezes go through these walls they carry this dust into your living area. A house that is not insulated will probably catch fire and burn down 5-10 times faster than a house that is insulated because fire needs oxygen to breathe. An insulated wall has little or no oxygen which would dramatically slow the spread of a fire in a house which could be the difference between life and death. Uninsulated walls are open cavities for insects and small rodents to nest in, they may even come from your basement travel up the walls and nest in your attic. Boric acid in cellulose irritates these insects and rodents blocking off passages for them to travel in.


    Insulated walls also means a quieter home, you won't hear traffic or sounds or wind blowing as much as you would if your wall weren't insulated. Cellulose is an excellent source for sound reduction.
