Retrofit insulation is when insulation is installed in an existing home to augment existing insulation or add insulation to uninsulated areas. Not all homes were properly insulated when built, and others need retrofit insulation due to settling or compression.
The most common signs that you may need to re-insulate your home are:
Your power bills have increased even though you haven’t increased your energy use.
You notice uneven temperatures around your home.
Your home feels drafty.
Your heating and/or cooling system seems to be constantly running.
If you suspect you might need retrofit insulation in your Columbus, OH, home, make an assessment appointment with Edwards/Mooney & Moses.
Pay special attention to your attic, as this is where most energy loss occurs. A well-insulated attic will make your home much more energy-efficient and improve climate control. You’ll save money and be more comfortable.
Edwards/Mooney & Moses offers every kind of insulation you might need for your Columbus, OH, home.
Loose-fill or blown-in insulation: Loose-fill insulation can be used in many spaces. Fiberglass loose-fill is one of the oldest insulation types, and because cellulose loose-fill is made of up to 80% recycled material, it’s one of the most eco-friendly insulations.
Injection foam insulation: With a consistency like shaving cream that hardens when dry, injection or masonry foam acts as insulation and an air barrier. It can seal enclosed spaces like wall cavities against heat transfer and air movement. It lasts a long time, as it doesn’t sag, compress or settle.
Fiberglass batt insulation: Available in various widths, fiberglass batt insulation is flat insulation that can be installed in ceilings, walls and floor cavities. We also install fiberglass batts over one or two inches of spray foam, known as flash and batt insulation.
Spray cellulose insulation: This can be blown or sprayed nearly anywhere. It conforms to your home to form seamless insulation that protects against air infiltration.
Spray foam insulation: This is also highly effective against air infiltration. Sprayed wet, this type of insulation can insulate hard-to-reach areas and small cracks and crevices. As it dries, it expands into a thick, sealing foam.
Call (614) 254-5309 to determine which insulation is right for you.
In some cases, you can install new retrofit insulation on top of the existing insulation. The new insulation doesn’t need to be the same type, as long as the two are properly layered. For example, if your old insulation was blown in, you can layer fiberglass batts on top as long as the batts aren’t faced with foil or paper.
However, the existing insulation won’t work as a base layer if it has old fire damage, is damp or moldy or has been damaged by animals nesting in the attic or walls. Dirty or damaged insulation must be removed before new retrofit insulation can be installed.
