UAC Insulation Contractors - Ceiling Insulation

Ceiling Insulation

Depending on what type of home and ceiling you have then it will determine what type of insulation you need. You might have vaulted ceilings or cathedral ceilings and if this is the case then we can suggest some insulation with a great R-Value rating. We look at basement ceilings and we see where we can create warmth in the home. If the ceiling is still exposed then we can easily install it between the ceiling framing. Fiberglass or cellulose installation will be used and with this we will make sure the home is up to the correct energy efficient standards.

So things we consider when installing are as follows, sound dampening qualities as you don’t want to hear your guests walking around on the 2nd floor and very good floor insulation can help with that. The whole point of adding quality insulation between your floors is to lock in the heat in the winter and keep those rooms cool in the summer. We can add the insulation to your ceilings in a variety of ways and it will all depend on the condition of your home. If your home is going through a full renovation then we can concentrate on opening up the ceiling and adding the insulation that way. You will have a few choices from Fiberglass insulation to cellulose insulation. There are some various products you can use such as batts and rolls to fill the cavity space. We make sure there are no openings so it’s fantastically sealed. Compression will reduce the R-value so we have to make sure it’s installed properly. All vents must be kept free to allow air flow so we make sure we accomplish this.

If your home is currently being lived in and it’s not undergoing renovation then we have to look at others ways to add the insulation to the ceiling and this can be achieved by using a good custom insulation that blows insulation filling in to the cavity by drilling small holes. The good thing about blow in insulation is it can be performed in pretty much any home and it really does fill all the gaps in the ceiling cavity to give that warmth and sound dampening qualities.

We make sure this insulation installation is all performed in a safe manor so you don’t have to fret about anything getting damaged or anything going wrong. Our home efficiency experts know exactly what they are doing so all you have to do is leave them to it and they will get on with it making sure your home is more energy efficient. Not only will you be happy about the money saving properties of your new home you will also be feeling much more comfortable in your home in any climate.

Testimonials

We bought our home in June and had a full house survey done on the property. One of the things that came up was that the attic insulation was insufficient so we had to put it on our to do list. In September we used UAC insulation Contractors to insulate our attic and they did a nice job. I was considering doing it myself but I took a look at the mess up there and thought better of it. The team came around and stripped out all of the old insulation and did a full attic clean, they made sure it was all bagged up and took it away for disposal. They installed a fiberglass insulation as that is what I wanted and I now I have a clean insulated attic which will be perfect for the winter. Thank you guys for doing a job I did not really want to do.

As my home was always hot or cold I needed to address the matter as it was costing me a small fortune in energy bills. I called UAC Insulation Contractors to do some further inspection and see if they could figure out why. Using some fancy equipment they managed to pinpoint the areas in my home where I was having heat and cold air escape. That’s why my home was always like an oven in the summer even with the AC on and an ice box in winter with the heat sill blasting. They got to work in adding extra insulation all over my home including crawl spaces under the home and in the walls. Now it’s like night and day, the heat stays in the home as does the AC so I am not spending a small fortune to feel comfortable. It’s well worth having your home inspected as you will be surprised as to how inefficient your home was running before these guys step in to change all of that.

I was after a good alternative to fiberglass insulation and I heard Cellulose insulation was the way to go. I had UAC Insulation Contractors come out and give me a price quote and they did a fantastic job of walking me through the benefits of Cellulose and verifying why I wanted it installed in the first place. I used the company to carry out the work and they used a loose fill insulation to pump in to the wall. They did a fantastic job and I was very happy with the end result of how the insulation installation which is a mouthful to say, went.

My basement was always miserable to go down to as it was freezing in the winter and having the washer and dryer located down there meant it was never a pleasure to venture to. I had UAC Insulation Contractors come around and look at installing some insulation to warm it up and then I wanted it sealed in with drywall to make it a proper room. The insulation team came around and suggested a good insulation and showed me the product. They told me it would instantly give me more warm and save me money on heating as less heat would escape. After having the work done 5 months ago I can safely say they were right. The room and home feels warmer in general and it’s now a place I don’t mind going down to when doing the washing.
