One of your first questions if you’re insulating your home is, “How much insulation do I need?” The quick answer is that it depends:
Are you insulating an area that currently has no insulation, or adding to existing insulation?
What part of the home are you insulating? Attics, garages and basements/crawl spaces have different insulation requirements.
How much insulation is currently in place?
These are a few of the questions we’ll ask as we prepare your estimate. We can also perform an insulation inspection to get an accurate picture of your insulation needs.
Let’s start with an estimate! Call (614) 254-5309 today or contact us online to schedule an in-home inspection.
R-value is an important part of insulation — it indicates a material’s resistance to conductive heat flow. The R-value depends on the insulation’s type/material, thickness and density. In general, the higher the R-value (thermal resistance), the greater the insulation’s effectiveness.
Although a higher R-value in general means a more effective insulator, the highest R-value possible may not be right for your project. One example of this is if the space you’re insulating already has some amount of insulation.
Which region of the country you’re in is also a factor in how much insulation you need. Homeowners in Columbus need insulation that reflects our cold winters and warm (but not always blistering hot) summers. In the Columbus area, we’re in climate zone 5.

We created this infographic to help Columbus homeowners understand the materials we use when insulating their homes. The graphic explains the three insulation materials we use most frequently — spray foam insulation, fiberglass batts and cellulose — and how best to use each.
