Do you need to lower energy costs by making your residential or commercial property more energy-efficient? Every insulation company will make the same promises to reduce your energy costs, but not every company can deliver on those promises.

When you are choosing an insulating company, here are four things to consider to help you choose the best company:

Customer service — Find a company that not only listens to your wants, but truly understands your long-term insulating needs. Does the company come across as one that is seeking a long-term relationship with you, or simply a one-time job?

Experience and reputation– Look for an insulating company with experience and a strong reputation in your region. Understanding the ins and outs of insulation and what works best in a home partially depends on an understanding of the climate. Houses in cooler climates will have different insulating needs than a home in Texas. How long has the company you’re considering been in business? What is their reputation in the community? What are others saying about them?

Knowledge — How well does the company know all the types of insulation and the proper application of each type? Ask questions about the differences between spray foam insulation, fiberglass insulation, cellulose insulation, and radiant barrier and radiant spray. Do you feel comfortable with the information presented you? Does the company take the whole home into consideration in determining which type of insulation is best?

Respect for your home — Find a company that will not damage your home or another system within the home or building while installing insulation. Installation technicians should be experienced enough to know how to maintain the integrity of the building while installing insulation. They should also take care of your property by taking steps to protect flooring, and clean up after the job is done.
