There is nothing that will strain your energy bill more than your when HVAC system has to work hard to maintain a constant and comfortable indoor temperature. When you set your thermostat at a set temperature, your HVAC system will have to work hard every time the temperature in your home gets too hot or cold. By installing quality mineral/rock wool insulation, it’s easier to keep the temperature consistent. That will ultimately take the stress off your HVAC system, creating energy savings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you offer a more comprehensive explanation of the R-Value rating?
Sure. It should be obvious that the primary goal behind installing any kind of insulation would be home temperature control. Energy efficiency is a by-product of a home that is consistently the same temperature. An insulation’s R-Value rating simply describes how efficient the insulation is at resisting heat flow. That’s whether the heat flow is going from outside to inside or vice versa.
How much would it cost to have my walls insulated with high-quality mineral/rock wool insulation?
Before we could offer a price estimate, we would need to know the size of the job (sq. footage of your wall spaces). Please feel free to call us for more information. What we can state here is that this insulation option falls at the less expensive end of the price spectrum for home insulations.
How long does the installation process take?
It would depend on the size of the job. However, our goal is always to finish all jobs in a day or less whenever possible.
Is mineral/rock wool insulation manufactured with any dangerous chemicals?
While phenol formaldehyde is used as a binding agent during production, only a trace of the chemical remains after a heating process. Otherwise, no other notable chemicals are required during the manufacturing process.
