Frequently Asked Questions

What type of home insulation do I need?

It depends on where you plan to install insulation. Additional factors also include what designated R-value is required for your specific region of the country. For example, a home in the state of Maryland will have a significantly different R-value requirement than a home in California.

What is R-value? 

R-value is defined as a measure of thermal resistance or ability to transfer from hot to cold through materials (such as insulation, walls, and floors.) The higher the R-value, the thicker the insulation and the more comfortable your home will be.

What R-value do I need to survive a harsh winter in the Baltimore, Maryland area?

It depends on what region of the country that you live in and where you plan to add insulation. According to the Department of Energy, exterior walls should have an R-value ranging between R-13 and R-23, while R-38 and R-49 are the standards for the ceiling and attic areas.

Where should I insulate?

We recommend insulating the entire home- from the attic and every area in between. Proper insulation and air sealing drastically increases energy efficiency and improves indoor air quality. Besides insulating the attic area, you should also consider insulating your crawl space, exterior walls, interior walls, and the basement. 

How can I prevent moisture in my home?

Moisture circulates in between the walls of your home and travels by air. Insulation that limits air movement contributes to managing moisture and makes your homes more comfortable.
