Insulation

Insulation is a very important part of one's energy conservation measures. Insulation inside walls helps to prevent heat from escaping from (or penetrating into) the home. Insulation in the attic slows the loss of heat into (or out of) the attic. On a warm summer day, attics can become sweltering hot!

Insulating foam can be installed on hot water lines to slow the cooling of the hot water in the pipes. In addition, an insulation blanket can be installed around a water heater to help keep the hot water from cooling.

Insulation can be installed in the crawlspace under the home's floor, to slow the movement of heat through the floor.

In addition, insulation has the added benefit of deadening sound. For example, insulation can be installed inside interior walls to quiet the transmission of sound through the wall.

I have added insulation to hot water pipes.

 

 

 

 

I have installed rolls of insulation above ceilings and under floors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have also installed insulation inside walls as they were being constructed.
