The more holes you can plug, the less energy it takes to heat and cool your home or business. Hot and cold air can seep through the walls and windows of your building when you have cracks and little or no insulation. Especially in variable weather areas like the Outer Banks, tight seals around window frames and closures also mean fewer leaks into your space.
It’s often your crawl spaces, attics and other open areas that let in the most outdoor weather. Roughly 33 percent of outdoor air infiltrates through walls, ceilings and floors. Adding an advanced insulation system not only stops those spaces from leaking your heat or A/C, but it achieves optimal energy efficiency for your building.
While these spaces are the most difficult to reach and the hardest to secure, you now have options. Count on a local heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) contractor like Norris Mechanical, LLC to treat the crawl spaces and walls in your structure with AirTight Spray Foam, the most efficient energy savings step you can take.
Advanced Insulation Protection
Previously, the most effective insulation came in the form of fiberglass strips. You may still have some of those long pink or yellow protectors in your attic and crawl spaces. Fiberglass’s effectiveness, however, now takes a back seat to AirTight Spray Foam that provides superior protection against all types of weather.
Insulation is rated by an R-value, which determines the amount of resistance that the insulation offers against the flow of heat. Fiberglass insulation typically carries an R-value between 2.2 and 4.3. On the other hand, spray foam insulation provides an average of 6.5 R-value, far greater and therefore more effective than other insulation products.
Applied by Professionals for Best Results
With conventional duct insulation, installers rarely stuffed it into the cracks and crawl spaces of your home. They simply rolled it out in the attic and behind the walls. Today, you can achieve the most efficient energy savings and the greatest financial gains with sprayed foam insulation installed by professionals.
When applied by trained and experienced AirTight Spray Foam technicians like those at Norris Mechanical, you can expect to get an airtight seal. Additionally, you have access to custom ductwork created in our very own sheet metal fabrication shop if you need any changes to your existing ductwork. Duct insulation protects your investment.
Contractors and developers of new construction appreciate Norris Mechanical for their ability to meet distinct specifications while keeping projects on time and within budget. You can get that same level of quality insulation for your home or business with AirTight Spray Foam.
Save the Planet and Your Budget
Airtight foam insulation saves the average homeowner between 20 and 50 percent on heating and air conditioning bills. The savings correspond to less fossil fuel used to heat and cool your interior. The material is also partially made of recycled plastic bottles, bringing even more value to you and the environment.
