Attic Insulation

Morris Heat and Air offers attic insulation for residential homes. The Department of Energy estimates that upgrading the attic’s insulation level is the most cost effective energy efficiency upgrade money can buy. The recommended R-Value of attic insulation is set by the Department of Energy according to the location of your home.  In Northeast Oklahoma, The Department of Energy recommends attic insulation levels to be a minimum R-38.  There are several benefits to having insulation in your attic.  The primary reason is to prevent heat transfer from the attic space to the home.  Heat in the attic can reach up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer.  This amount of heat has a detrimental effect on your home's performance and can decrease your Air Conditioner's ability to cool your home.  Installing insulation in your attic is very important to minimize the size of your air conditioner.  A home without attic insulation may require a 3.5 ton air conditioner, whereas, a home with attic insulation may require a 3 ton air conditioner.  Attic Insulation is a more permanent energy efficiency upgrade to your home that never breaks down, never requires maintenance, and never uses energy.  Because insulation is a more permanent energy efficiency upgrade to your home, it is highly recommended to have attic insulation installed on your home to Energy Star's recommended level rather than oversize an air conditioner to compensate a home's deficiency without attic insulation.  Our company not only blows insulation, but we also offer removal of insulation for various reasons. There are many reasons attic insulation removal may be necessary. For starters, animals may have built nests or began living within your pre-existing insulation. When animals begin nesting within your attic’s insulation, they secrete urine, feces, and musk within the insulation and can also die inside the attic. This can make the air within your home very dangerous and can cause a number of health problems that are a direct result of rodent urinary protein. Our commercial grade fiberglass insulation removal machine will ensure a fast and safe removal that results in a much cleaner environment within your home. When removal of fiberglass insulation is necessary, it is blown into 75 cubic foot bags that are safely hauled off to the local dump. The removal of your attic’s insulation is also necessary to uncover the ceiling of your home so that your home may be sealed. Building Performance Institute estimates that up to 85% of a home’s leakage is in the ceiling. By removing your attic’s insulation, we are able to fully access all aspects of your ceiling which enables us to seal it properly. Attic Insulation Removal may also be necessary when updating the electrical, mechanical, lighing, or plumbing systems within your home. By removing the attic insulation within your attic, contractors will have full access to make the necessary repairs to your home. Attic Insulation that is removed from your home can also be blown back in.
