Attic Cleaning, Decontamination & Insulation Removal

Removing old or damaged insulation is crucial for a healthy attic and home environment. Over time, insulation can collect dust, pests, and mold, affecting air quality and performance. Our team provides thorough attic cleaning and decontamination, safely removing old insulation and harmful residues to prepare your attic for high-quality replacement insulation that ensures a healthier and more efficient home.

Air Sealing

Air sealing complements attic insulation by sealing gaps and cracks that allow air to escape. Common areas needing air sealing include attic access points, plumbing and wiring penetrations, and around recessed lighting. Our expert air sealing service helps to lower energy costs by reducing leaks and improving your attic’s overall insulation efficiency.

Importance of R-Value for Attic Insulation

The R-value of insulation measures its resistance to heat flow, with higher values offering better insulation. In Phoenix’s hot climate, attic insulation with an R-value of R38 (14 inches) to R60 (22 inches) is ideal for optimal energy efficiency. This level of insulation reduces heat transfer, helping keep your living space cooler in summer and warmer in winter, ultimately lowering energy costs and enhancing indoor comfort.

Our team can help assess your attic’s current R-value and recommend insulation solutions to meet these standards.

Warning Signs That Your Attic Insulation Needs More Layers or A Full Replacement

If your attic insulation isn’t performing optimally, it might be time for additional layers or a complete replacement. Here are common signs that indicate the need for professional attic insulation services:

Unexpected bill increases may signal poor or damaged insulation
Inconsistent room temperatures suggest insulation gaps or deterioration
Moisture, mold, or pest damage can compromise insulation effectiveness
Insulation older than 15 years may no longer provide adequate thermal performance
Persistent drafts point to areas where insulation is damaged or lacking
Increased levels of dust and allergens

Questions You May Have

How does attic insulation improve indoor comfort?

Attic insulation helps maintain consistent temperatures by reducing heat transfer between your attic and living spaces. In summer, insulation keeps cool air inside, while in winter, it retains warmth. This consistent temperature control reduces the strain on your HVAC system, ensuring a comfortable home environment year-round and preventing uncomfortable temperature fluctuations.

What types of attic insulation are best for Phoenix homes?

For Phoenix’s hot climate, spray foam and blown-in fiberglass insulation are popular choices. Spray foam offers superior air sealing, keeping cool air in and heat out. Blown-in fiberglass fills gaps effectively, enhancing energy efficiency. Our team can help determine which type of insulation best suits your home’s needs and energy goals.

How soon can I expect to see energy savings with new attic insulation?

Energy savings from new attic insulation are noticeable almost immediately. By reducing heat transfer, insulation allows your HVAC system to work less, lowering energy usage and costs. Most homeowners see a reduction in energy bills within the first few months, with continued savings over the insulation’s lifespan, often up to 15-20 years.
