Everything you need to know about insulation, energy efficiency, and working with Lomax Insulation.
Common warning signs include high energy bills, uneven room temperatures (hot or cold spots), drafts near walls or outlets, and ice dams on your roof during winter. If your home is more than 15-20 years old, it likely has settled or insufficient insulation by modern standards.
R-Value measures an insulation material's resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. Different areas of your home (attic vs. walls) require different R-values based on local building codes and climate zones.
In many cases, yes—adding new blown-in insulation over existing material is a cost-effective way to boost efficiency. However, if the old insulation is damp, moldy, or infested with pests, it must be professionally removed first to ensure a healthy home environment.
Fiberglass is cost-effective and fire-resistant. Spray foam, while a higher investment, provides both superior insulation and a complete air seal in one step, preventing drafts and moisture much more effectively than traditional materials.
Most residential projects, like an attic top-off or air sealing, are completed in a single day (typically 4-6 hours). Larger whole-home retrofit or new construction projects may take 2-3 days depending on the square footage and complexity.
