"After my call to Discount Energy Services, I knew who was coming and when to evaluate my attic insulation. The estimate was prepared on-site with pricing. The workers arrived and knew exactly what they were to accomplish, which they confirmed with me. They prepared the entire path with clean drop cloths and created a plastic drape around my attic stairs. The foreman was glad to explain any aspect of the procedure. My attic was upgraded to R-49 and the difference is notable."

Over 20 years of experience in the home comfort and efficiency field. We find solutions to the issues that your HVAC company can't. Dusty homes, hot and cold spots, high utility bills, drafty fireplaces, rooms above garages, cold floors, dirty carpet edges, and much more can be fixed by us. We provide "comfort and energy solutions".
"A total disaster. An inexperienced, untrained crew created more issues than I had before they began their work. My goal was to increase comfort levels in my senior-living, one-level home built on a slab that is super cold in the winter. I hate as a senior being taken advantage of. I was very naive. I have spent thousands and now am having to throw more good money after bad to try and make my home comfortable to live in. It is so bad; I am ready to sell! And I can’t afford to after all I have spent, without taking a loss on the sale. They dense packed my walls and now I am colder; in the process, they removed the flashing above my windows which now leak. I had to hire a window installer to replace the flashing that their incompetent crew removed. They failed to put back the siding properly, so it was hanging off my house. Once again, I had to hire a handy man to refasten the siding the crew removed while dense packing. And the dense packing was useless as it didn't enter the cavities that already had batt insulation. While spray foaming triangle boxes, boots, and plenum, they sealed off all my dampers resulting in zero air flow. They reluctantly came back and had to dig out the dampers that they had foamed over. In fact, they over-foamed at junction boxes, boots, and plenum so that HVAC techs couldn't even tune my system. There is 2 feet of foam, yet hot air is rushing out of the flexible ducts that weren’t sealed properly. Yet there remain gaps on my boxes, boots, and plenum. Just today, a HVAC tech walked me around the attic, and I could feel the hot air rushing into my attic at the junctions, boxes, boots, and plenums that are all wide open; that I paid to have sealed. I almost threw up; I am heating my attic! And the tech said it looks like a dog was in my attic as the Comfenergy crews failed to put back my blown-in fiberglass insulation they removed when trying to foam, so there is no insulation at the boxes and boots. They were simply careless and failed to rake it back and even out my insulation resulting in further cold spots I didn't have. In short, I now will have to hire another company to blow in more insulation and make sure it is even, so I don't have cold/hot spots. Additionally, they left the lights on in the attic, didn't replace the attic access foam barrier, and failed to seal the major penetrations including light cans/recessed lights and supply vents I paid for. Next came the bathroom exhaust fans; they were installed improperly and didn't vent because the outside flaps remained closed, while inside a cold draft came in my bathroom because the foam sealing, I paid for wasn't done properly. So now both my bathrooms are drafty. They were cold; now they are cold AND drafty. The HVAC tech today remarked he felt badly that I have two or more space heaters in every room, including the bathrooms! I strongly recommend carefully watching the crew if you ever choose to allow them to do any work for you. I trusted them. And I regret that. I was naive. I was cold. Rather I am still cold! I trusted their salesperson. The crew that did mine were either let go or quit. In fact, one of them still calls seeking to do side work. I politely declined. I suggest you do the same and seek a competent company that you can trust, does the work you paid for properly, and doesn't damage your home."

Then our skilled group of installers will make sure that your new insulation is placed in your home correctly, to ensure that you maximize energy efficiency.
"When my Dominion Home Energy Report showed that I “used 101% more electricity than average homes,” I knew it was time to do something! I read reviews and then reached out to several companies for an estimate to replace my attic insulation. Capital Insulation provided an itemized quote that was the best value. I was happy every step of the process from working with Karl on the estimate to scheduling the installation with Lisa and communication with the crew while they did the work. The installation was completed quickly, they cleaned up when done, and payment via bank transfer was simple through QuickBooks. I will gladly recommend Capital Insulation to friends and family."

The best type of insulation for your attic depends on your climate, budget, and whether your attic is new construction or an existing space. For example, structural insulated panels are ideal for new builds and offer excellent energy efficiency. In warmer climates, reflective insulation can reduce cooling costs, while blown-in, loose-fill, and spray foam insulation are great options for filling irregular spaces in existing attics. It's important to consult with a local attic insulation prol to determine which insulation type best suits your specific needs.
Absolutely. Insulating your attic reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, leading to lower energy bills and a more comfortable home year-round. It can also increase your home's resale value, as energy efficiency is a desirable feature for buyers. Investing in attic insulation is a smart way to improve your home's efficiency and comfort.
Yes, you can usually add more insulation to your attic over the existing material to improve its effectiveness. If your current insulation is dry and in good condition, adding layers can enhance thermal resistance. However, if the existing insulation is wet, moldy, or damaged, it should be removed and replaced to prevent health issues and ensure proper insulation performance. It's important to have a professional assess your attic insulation to determine the best course of action.
Insulating an attic can take anywhere from five hours to two days. The project length depends on the insulation material you choose, for example, spray foam insulation takes about one to two days to install. Another factor is if you need to remove old insulation before adding in new insulation.
Yes, you can over-insulate an attic, although this isn’t as common as under-insulating your home. Too much insulation can lead to inadequate ventilation, blocked vents, and poor air circulation, resulting in mold or trapping in heat. To avoid these issues, contact your local insulation professional about finding the right R-value for your home.
You typically do not need to hire an electrician for standard attic insulation projects if you're simply adding or replacing insulation. However, if your insulation work involves moving electrical wiring, installing new fixtures, or addressing any electrical issues, you will need to hire a licensed electrician. It's important to ensure that all wiring is properly handled to prevent safety hazards and comply with building codes. If you suspect any problems with your attic's electrical system, consult a local electrician before proceeding with insulation.
