ABOUT
INSULATION
Insulation plays a vital role in the overall energy efficiency of a structure. By ensuring your home is properly insulated and protected from air leakage you reduce the overall energy impact, ultimately minimizing energy costs.
Traditionally, the performance of insulation is measured in R-values. Higher R-values mean greater thermal resistance (R), or insulating power. Properly installed insulation reduces the transfer of heat through walls, lessening the impact outside air can make on your homes conditioned space. By maintaining a more uniform temperature throughout your home, you will minimize the stress placed on your HVAC system to hold temperatures during harsh weather which can go a long ways towards lower utility bills.

Benefits of Insulation
Energy Savings
One of the most notable advantages of insulation is the substantial amount of energy savings it offers to homeowners. With its ability to effectively reduce heat loss during the cold winter months and prevent heat gain in the scorching summer season, insulation proves to be an invaluable investment that manifests in the form of remarkable cost savings on both heating and cooling expenses.
Improved Comfort
Properly insulated homes can also greatly improve the overall comfort and coziness that you experience within your living space. By ensuring consistent temperatures throughout every room, regardless of the weather outside, you can revel in a more satisfying and enjoyable living environment throughout the entirety of the year. This comforting insulation not only keeps the heat in during the cold winter months but also prevents unwanted heat from seeping in during the hot summer days. With every nook and cranny expertly insulated, homeowners can finally bid farewell to pesky drafts and temperature fluctuations. So, whether it's snuggling up on a frosty winter evening or finding refuge from the scorching summer sun, investing in proper insulation services can truly transform your home into a year-round oasis of pure comfort.
Increased Home Value
Insulation is not only a wise investment, but it can also greatly enhance the overall value of your home. When potential buyers step foot into a well-insulated home, they will immediately notice the difference in energy efficiency and comfort. On the flip side, homes that lack proper insulation might face scrutiny during the inspection process, potentially leading to a decrease in value, or even repair requests becoming part of the negotiation. To avoid any hiccups and ensure your home is up to par, it's highly advisable to prioritize proper insulation levels. This will not only benefit you in the long run, but it will also leave potential buyers impressed and willing to pay a higher price for your well-insulated home.
Reduced Carbon Footprint
By reducing your energy consumption, attic insulation can also help reduce your carbon footprint. This is not only beneficial for the environment but can also make your home more attractive to eco-conscious buyers.
Attic insulation is a crucial aspect of maintaining an energy-efficient and comfortable home. With the right type of insulation and proper installation, you can enjoy significant energy savings, improved comfort, and increased home value. Consider consulting with a professional to determine the best insulation option for your home and ensure a successful installation.

FAQs
What is the best insulation?
There are many variables that come into play when selecting the best insulation (budget, efficiency needs, and structural information). While each insulation has it’s own place and strengths, we typically say spray foam insulation is best (if cost prohibits), with fiberglass, and cellulose following closely behind.
How much insulation do I need?
We refer to local municipal code requirements to ensure we are prescribing at least the code requirement – it never hurts to exceed the code requirement.
Can I insulate my existing walls?
While we used to offer a service known as “drill & fill” or the process of drilling hols in the drywall and filling the cavity with insulation, we’re no longer offering this as a service. There are many opportunities with this process to overfill the cavity, causing the drywall to push out. Additionally, when drilling holes, there’s a possibility of drilling into electrical/plumbing. Be cautious if a contractor goes this route for you.
Do you sell insulation material only?
Arkansas Insulation no longer sells material to the public. We do offer free estimates on installed material - in other words, it’s free to see how we can help you.
Do you remove insulation?
From time to time, insulation removal is required due to the insulation being damaged, wet, or moldy. We do offer insulation removal as a service.
Do you insulate old homes?
We absolutely do! Typically we install additional attic insulation and can even install insulation in the crawlspace as well. In addition to old houses, we also insulate new construction homes as well.
