On a 7 year old house, one would not think that attic insulation would be a concern. However, given the temperature changes between the main floor and the upstairs, plus my 1 year old son's room freezing during the winter and hot in the summer, something was wrong.
After calling Affordable Insulation and having Jason come over to do an inspection, it was clear that there was an issue. In the line of sight from my attic hatch, the insulation was a little low for code of 7 years ago (at best an R20, but only right around the hatch where the home inspector checks), however, above my son's room and outside the line of sight, there was maybe 3 inches of insulation. No wonder there was such a temperature difference.
Jason clearly explained the process, the reasons of why my insulation was so uneven and what could be done to fix the issues.
The day of the appointment, Syd and Rod did another inspection, explained some of the issues they saw and how they were going to address them. They took at least 2 hours setting it all up, making sure that it was clean and organized before they started. It was a sign of a professional company who takes the time to ensure that the customer is at ease.
Once the insulation was nearing completion, I was asked to take a look to see if it met my expectations. It certainly did. I went to an R62 and the visual volume difference was astounding. I was curious to know what the results would be on the heat loss.
My answer came that night where I went upstairs and did not feel ANY temperature change. My son's room temperature was uniform with the rest of the house. The comfort level and peace of mind was well worth the cost of the job. The money saved on lost heat and cooling will pay for itself very soon.
The professionalism and care that the company takes is like they are doing it on their own home. It was such a great experience to work with a company that has such integrity, attention to detail and who cares about the end result to the customer. I recommend Affordable Insulation and Renovation to anyone who are having issues with their home's heat/cooling loss. It's well worth the call.
