SEVEN TELLTALE SIGNS YOUR ATTIC NEEDS MORE INSULATION TO PROTECT YOUR BIGGEST INVESTMENT

cold home from lack of insulation

Most people aren't aware their attic needs more insulation. This is mainly because it's a hidden portion of our home so it's out of sight, out of mind. When considering energy saving improvements, windows & doors are usually the first things to be considered. They are important pieces as well, but your attic is the first key step in reaching efficiency. If it's not insulated properly nothing else really matters, you're wasting hard earned savings every month! See how your insulation measures up.

Protection against all 3 types of heat!

Basic Principles of how insulation works

Insulation Slows Down heat flow

To understand how insulation works, it helps to understand the different forms of heat flow we must safeguard against. This involves three basic mechanisms of heat transfer- conduction, convection, and radiation. Of the three, radiant heat makes up the majority of transfer by accounting for up to 93% of it. It has a way of making its way into your home's thermal barrier, causing high energy bills and comfortability issues. Most traditional insulation materials work by slowing down conductive and convective heat flow but do little to combat radiant heat. Regardless of the season, heat transfers from warmer to cooler areas until there is no longer a temperature difference. This means in the Winter, heat escapes from the warm living space directly into the adjacent unheated attic, eventually making it out roof vents causing inefficiency. Heat flow can also move indirectly through interior ceilings, walls, and floors- wherever there is a difference in temperature. During the cooling season, heat flows from the sun's radiant heat to the interior of your house, penetrating under-insulated areas. We regularly see both of these heat transfers happening with our FLIR thermal imaging capabilities. Proper attic insulation is a must with today's high energy prices! Without it, you're susceptible to expensive energy bills and temperature imbalances- which can also cause damage from moisture, mold & mildew.

Our Scientific approach to insulation is proven to work

IS YOUR INSULATION COOKED? FIND OUT HERE.

At Midwest, we take a building-science approach to insulation and managing heat flow. Once the bedrock of our first investment was acquiring FLIR thermal imaging capabilities to help us see, first-hand, how well the different insulation materials work to manage heat. We can visualize how effective your insulation is performing. It will clearly show up on the cameras view screen if heat is transferring in any form, in or out. This lends us a decisive advantage to our industry expertise in helping choose what insulation will work best for your individual home or structure. At the end of the day, the customer is what matters most, so we chose to offer Free Thermal Imaging Inspections as a courtesy to our potential customers.  We provide an Imaging & Recommendation Report so our customers can see how well their insulation is working with their own eyes. This innovative tool sets the foundation of trust in effective energy management! From there, we offer standing discounts to our Military, Law Enforcement, First responders, Teachers, AARP Members, AAA Members, Industry Professionals, and more! To cap everything off, we provide 100% Project Financing with zero Interest to help our customers break insulation projects down into manageable budget friendly payments.

The Truth About R-values

REVEALED HERE

IS R-VALUE EFFECTIVE AGAINST RADIANT HEAT TRANSFER?

The science reveals traditional insulations are not effective against radiant heat transfer

When most people consider insulation, they think of the term R-value. R-value measures the resistance to heat flow. It actually measures how long it takes a material to absorb 100% of its potential before it starts leaking the heat from the other side. The higher the number, the slower the heat travels through, but it eventually gets through no matter how high an R-value. This makes it somewhat of a flawed system because it pays little regard to radiant transfer- which is the primary source we deal with in attics. Most traditional insulations are not designed to deal with radiant heat at all. They are only truly effective at slowing down conductive and convective heat. To compound the issue, R-value is often considered the end all be all when it comes to insulation, often creating the misconception that adding more R-value is always the best option. While adding insulation usually cannot be considered a bad idea, continuing to boost R-value can get redundant where other measures would be more productive in managing your thermal loss or gain.

WE HAVE YOU PROTECTED AGAINST ALL THREE TYPES OF HEAT transfer!

Which insulation is effective against radiant heat transfer?

POLYSHIELD® IS UP TO 97% EFFECTIVE AT PROTECTING YOUR HOME FROM THE ELEMENTS & saving YOU on energy

Rather than continuing to add R-value, at some point you need to address the radiant heat transfer that's causing your home to be uncomfortable and inefficient. This requires a completely different type of insulation called a radiant barrier (or reflective insulation system) like our Polyshield Attic-Guard. This spin-off from NASA is specifically designed to block up to 97% of radiant heat making it the most advanced insulation system on the planet. This technology is so effective at reducing the load on your HVAC system, that we are able to guarantee your energy savings at 25% in writing! A retrofit of Polyshield Attic-Guard over your existing insulation will protect it from heat gain in the Summer and heat loss in Winter, while lowering your bills and adding comfortability. Do you know where your attic insulation stands? Find out below!

Choosing the Right Insulation for you

Which insulation is best for you?

The only way to properly determine what insulation materials are right for your home, is to have a thermal imaging inspection performed at no-cost or obligation to you. If we find you are still lacking on traditional thermal (R-value) insulation, we will add additional eco-fill fiberglass insulation for just the cost of materials and labor before installing Polyshield® Attic-Guard. We do this also as a courtesy for our customers. Get your insulation up to standards and never have to worry about it again. We're here to help you fix your attic insulation issues in the most cost-effective manner possible. All of our solutions are guaranteed for the life of your home and beyond.
