Like the commercial says… NO CHARGE!

Like the commercial says… NO CHARGE! Thank you for taking care of my heating problem today. The new thermostat was connected incorrectly. The guys fixed it, they waited to be sure I had heat. And just like the commercial says… NO CHARGE! Definitely calling Standard for furnace checkup on both furnaces this spring.

Excellent Job Getting My Home Ready For Winter

Standard did an excellent job getting my home ready for the winter months. They insulated my “attic”, which was not an easy job due to limited space. They also insulated my basement and added a vent, and sealed a door. They did all this in a timely fashion, they cleaned up their work space, and were professional every step of the way. Michael K. was the job foreman and seemed very experienced. I would recommend Standard.

What do I need to know before installing insulation?

For optimal results and maximum energy savings, there are several factors to consider before installing insulation.
– Check building codes to R-value minimums and vapor barrier requirements.
– Identify gaps that need sealing before adding insulation.
– Determine square footage of the areas in need of insulation.
– Choose insulation type, that impacts installation techniques, R- values, and costs.

How often should insulation be replaced?

Depending on the material, insulation can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years. Some of the longest-lasting options include rigid foam board and spray foam. However, if your home’s insulation is more than 10 years old, you may want to have it inspected. A lot has changed in energy efficiency in the past decade. Additionally, the lifespan of insulation depends on where it’s located, its exposure to outdoor elements, and quality of the installation.

How do I know if I need more insulation?

An average of 90% of homes in the United States are under-insulated. A visual inspection may reveal that it’s time to add more or upgrade. Other signs include:
– Rising energy use and costs
– Uneven temperatures from room to room
– Drafts, which indicate air leakage
– Condensation around register boxes and other HVAC components
– Cold floors and walls

Is my current insulation a health risk?

Certain types of insulation can be hazardous when damaged. For example, fiberglass insulation can release small fibers into the air. These needle-like materials can cause health problems if inhaled, including itching, coughing, and respiratory issues. If you’re concerned about possible health risks, schedule a time for a technician to come and inspect your current insulation to assess the risks.

What type of insulation materials are available?

Many types of insulation exist, including blankets, batts, rolls, foam board, loose-fill, blown-in, and spray foam. Common materials used for various types of insulation include:
– Cellulose
– Fiberglass
– Polystyrene
– Polyurethane
– Mineral wool
– Plastic or natural fibers

Is installing insulation a DIY option?

Is it possible to install insulation yourself? Yes, you may find DIY kits or online instructions that make it seem easier than it is. However, without experience, expertise, and the right equipment, you could harm yourself or do damage to your home. Improperly installed insulation installation can create health risks and ultimately damage your home by allowing ice dams to form, moisture accumulation, and an increase in mold and corrosion. DIY efforts can also reduce efficiency and end up costing more to fix when things go wrong.
