It only takes one devastating winter storm — like the one in 2021 — to help us recognize how important our heating systems are.
If your roof was snow-covered and stayed snow-covered during the week of Winter Storm Uri, you can thank your insulation. Homeowners whose attics were poorly insulated sent their hard-working HVAC’s heat right through the roof. If you notice higher-than-normal energy bills, it may be time to re-insulate your home or business.
Home insulation determines the comfort every room in your house. Call Installed Building Products San Antonio at 210-201-1366 to learn more.
If the insulation in your commercial property or home is undamaged and about 15–20 years old, adding more might be a good idea. Some types of insulation compress over time, so adding more insulation improves energy efficiency.
The need for greater thermal efficiency is the biggest factor driving the retrofitting trend in San Antonio. There are often other reasons for insulation to fail or need retrofitting. For example:
A new HVAC system may need additional insulation to work more efficiently.
Improperly sealed buildings can have attic/wall condensation issues.
Insulating an attic without properly venting it can cause problems that require inspection for damages.
Poorly installed insulation can make some rooms too hot and others too cold.
Keep in mind, retrofitting isn’t possible if your insulation is damaged or shows signs of mold or pest activity. Professional insulation removal and new insulation installation will be required.
Ask for an insulation inspection to determine if retrofitting is what your home or business needs.
Radiant barrier: This is especially effective for attics and under the roofline.
Spray foam: Better coverage and a tight seal make this perfect to fill areas around ductwork and pipes.
Our Retrofitting Process
There are many factors to consider before the actual insulation installation. We may want to inspect areas other than the insulation site because thermal resistance is a whole-house feature.
For example, if there are areas where moisture collects or evidence of moisture behind walls, these areas should be repaired and dried. Guttering and roof drainage issues can impact insulation requirements. Areas where pipes or wires enter the home may be causing energy loss.
