What is an Insulation System?

The answer starts with the role insulation plays in your home. All insulating products are based on a single basic principle: heat moves from warmer to colder areas. On cold days, warm air from inside tries to get out. On warm days, the hot air outside is trying to get in. Insulation slows this process. Which means the only way to maximize your home’s energy efficiency is to insulate all the areas of your home susceptible to air infiltration and heat transfer. The Insulating System consists of many products, including fiberglass batts, Kraft faced batts, foam, caulk, baffles, and poly( plastic sheeting), working together throughout your home to deliver energy savings and year-round comfort.

Should I upgrade my current insulation?s

Yes. If your home is more than 5 years old or you suspect your home is under insulated, then you need to upgrade your insulation. Contact us to schedule your free in-home consultation on upgrading your home’s insulation. Upgrade your insulation now and enjoy the energy savings forever. While it is hard to predict your new home’s exact energy savings by adding insulation upgrades, independent tests and customer testimonials show savings up to 35% from normal air conditioning and heating costs.

Should I Replace or Install my Own Insulation System?

Why do it yourself? Actually, L&W can install your insulation faster, easier, and cheaper than you can do it yourself! L&W is a high-volume contractor. We pass the savings onto you!

What Does an Insulation System Do?

Insulation products such as fiberglass batts, loose fill fiberglass, caulk and foam are designed to reduce the natural movement of heat from warmer to colder areas. Poly (plastic sheeting) and Kraft faced fiberglass batts work to control moisture while baffles assure proper ventilation. Quiet Zone insulation even helps to control noise in your home.

Reducing heating and cooling costs

A poorly insulated home requires an inside temperature at least 3° higher to maintain the same level of comfort. A properly installed Insulating System protects your home with a thermal retarder that helps reduce costly fuel bills during heating and cooling seasons.

What if my current insulation gets wet by flooding or indoor water problems?

Don’t worry, but call L&W immediately! We remove wet or contaminated insulation with our industrial vacuum system
