Saint George Insulation

As the weather takes a dramatic turn towards cooler temperatures, residents and business owners in Saint George are taking a closer look at their property’s insulation. When it comes to checking your home or business for insulation, taking apart walls to inspect what their filled with is not necessary. The main area where more heat escapes and cool air drops in is from the attic. Before even venturing into the attic for closer inspection, take a good look at the attic hutch. Does the door itself have proper insulation? Is the weather stripping surrounding it in good condition and allow the door to close completely? A lot of heat loss can happen through a poorly insulated attic door. Once through the door, the attic can be completely inspected for current recommended insulation requirements. If your building is older, and you haven’t had an increase of insulation added, chances are that the amount of insulation is inadequate. Other areas to check for good insulation are basements and under flooring and walls. To inspect walls for insulation, there is a special type of thermo graphic inspection that can be done to see how well the walls are insulated.
