Choosing an Insulation Contractor
A Insulation Contractor is a specialized contractor who installs thermal insulation. These contractors work on residential, commercial, and industrial projects to coordinate with heating, plumbing, and mechanical construction workers to repair and install insulation in ducts, pipes, structures, and mechanical systems. They can choose to specialize in one type of insulation like cellulose, fiberglass, or spray foam, or install more than one type.

You can find a qualified home Insulation Contractor by asking your utility company for a list of reputable contractors, checking online reviews, or talking to friends and neighbors. In addition, check out the contractor’s website to see what services they offer and how much their work costs. Whether you’re adding or upgrading your insulation, the contractor should provide a detailed cost estimate before starting any work.
Whether you are remodeling or building a new home, an experienced insulation installer can help you achieve your energy efficiency goals by recommending the right insulation for your specific needs. They can also make sure that all electrical boxes are sealed, plumbing vents are covered and not leaking, and attics are properly ventilated.
Insulation installers generally learn their trade through on-the-job training and vocational school classes. They must be able to stand, sit, and crouch for long periods of time, and prior experience in construction is helpful. They should be able to evaluate and select materials to meet specific design criteria, such as R-values. It is important to remember that R-values are determined by the material type and thickness, not the density of the insulation.
