If your home temperature always fluctuates and you’re constantly traipsing to the thermostat to adjust the settings, you might not think that getting to the bottom of the problem has something to do with the top, your attic. Besides inefficient windows and drafty doors, your attic insulation has lot to do with your energy bill and maintaining a stable temperature in the home. At Quality Assurance Roofing, we replace, repair and also offer top-quality insulation for your roof.
There’s a reason we’re proud to say that we hand nail our roofs when it comes to insulation and efficiency, When other companies use nail guns, the pressure blows the nails through the shingles, allowing heat and cool air to escape from the top (Also remember that heat rises so this is its first escape route). When your attic doesn’t have proper insulation or lacking it, you’ll notice that your air conditioner will constantly run, and you’ll also realize extreme dips or increases in the temperature inside. You can also spot faulty areas such as where there’s a physical drop in your insulation.
When we install your attic insulation, we use the industry measurement of the R-value to determine which product will work best for you. Here’s the R-value explained by Wikipedia:
“The R-value is a measure of an insulation sample’s ability to reduce the rate of heat flow under specified test conditions. The primary mode of heat transfer impeded by insulation is conduction, but insulation also reduces heat loss by all three heat transfer modes: conduction, convection, and radiation”
We use either loose-fill, foam-in-place or insulation that comes in batt-and-roll to properly seal off your home.
If you’ve noticed finicky temperatures in your house or sky-high energy bills, contact Quality Assurance Roofing today, and we’ll see how we can help with your attic insulation installation.
