Which Parts of My Home Need Insulation the Most?

Your home heating and air conditioning isn’t working quite as well as you would hope and you dread your monthly utility bills.If this has been going on for quite a while, particularly if a heating or air conditioning technician has determined that there is no issue with your home HVAC system, you may have a different problem on your hands.

Poor insulation is responsible for a variety of heating and cooling problems in homes, but a technician can retrofit areas of the house so that your home becomes more energy efficient and resistant to heat transfer. Here are some of the areas this is most vital.

The Attic

The attic is the area where much of the heat created by your heating unit escapes during the winter, since heat naturally rises. It’s also where heat can gather and make its way back into your home during the summer. The attic is one of the most common areas for homeowners to insulate, but it usually requires a technician’s assistance. Professionals will generally line the attic with batting, or blow in insulation with a special piece of equipment, while sealing vents and ducts during the process.

Insulating Ductwork

The ductwork is another prime location for heat to infiltrate your home during the warmer months. Any heat lingering in unconditioned spaces like the attic or a crawlspace will can enter the ducts and mix with the conditioned air from your AC, then making its way into your living space. And in the winter, heat can move out of the ducts so that little heating enters your home and it takes a long time for your house to fully heat.

In the Walls

Finally, the walls can have insulation retrofitted with blown-in (also known as loose fill) insulation. The only renovation that must be done is making a hole in the wall so that the professional can insert a machine that blows insulating material into place. And these days, there are many different materials you can choose from for insulation. Ask your technician about choosing a material with a high R-value for increased effectiveness.

Great review for Goettl Plumbing.We had an blockage in our sewer line.Tyler Leija was dispatched the same day, and found the blockage using a camera tool.He cleared the blockage temporarily.The actual fix would require digging up and replacing the bad area of pipe.Paulo "Adrian" Dado and his crew came out the next day with backhoe, dug up the area, and replaced the section of pipe.The next day, after inspection, Adrian and his crew filled in the hole and then cleaned up the area.This is a brief description. There was A LOT of work involved.Very professional work.

Billy and John were awesome. Set up everything perfectly and went the extra mile to take care of some additional needs. Definitely the best A/C experience yet.Our tech Jorge that came out the day before helped quickly assess the situation and get us set up for a new system and water heater.

Had Jesus come out and inspect my AC unit after it stopped working and he really hit the mark on creating a friendly professional environment and helped me through this stressful process and to choose the correct path that worked best for me. Everyone from the technicians to the crew who came out and installed my new unit were absolutely incredible and left no trace of them being here working. Would absolutely recommend for any and all services they provide for your home and will be calling them again when we need help.

Darren guerra was great, gave us several options and explained in full detail what needed to be done. Very neat and clean in his work. And finished the job in a timely manner. Very happy overall with everything from start to finish. I did think the price was a little high though but considering it was getting late and didn't have much options.Will definitely call and useGoettle again and I will ask if Darrean could help again.
