INSULATION SERVICES HOUSTON, TX

If Your Electic Bill Seems High and Your System Is Constantly Running, You May Be Among The 90% of US Homes Or Businesses That Are Under-Insulated.

How long does insulation last and does it degrade over time? Although most types of insulation have a life span much longer than homeowners might think, these life spans are for ideal conditions only. Your home may have less-than-ideal conditions for keeping your insulation effective.

Any of the following situations could shorten the life of your insulation:

• Natural deterioration due to aging
• Excessive heat and moisture
• Water damage from roof leaks
• Batt insulation (fiberglass or cellulose) tends to fall down from crawl spaces or ceilings
• Insulation that gets dirty or clogged with dust will be less effective
• Loose-fill insulation may settle over time, leading to air leaks
• Older houses weren’t always adequately insulated

Insulation plays an important role in keeping your home comfortable. Properly installed insulation can help regulate temperatures, improve energy efficiency, and reduce utility costs.

Benefits of an adequately insulated home:

• Reduced energy costs. A home that is under-insulated or not properly insulated can lose between 20%-30% of its energy
• Prevents moisture condensation
• Reduces capacity and size of new mechanical equipment
• Absorbs sound making your home noticeably quieter

Blown In - Fiberglass insulation is one of the most cost-effective ways to keep your home insulated and comfortable. A majority of homes suffer from inadequate insulation levels, reducing their energy efficiency and overall capacity for keeping a consistent temperature. With Mairathon’s blown-in insulation services, we can remove and replace old insulation or add new insulation to keep your home shielded from the weather.

Spray Foam (Open and Close Cell Foam) - Spray Foam is a spray-applied insulation that offers flexible coverage for those hard to insulate areas. Applied as a liquid, the foam then expands and creates a locking barrier that serves to insulate and seal in spaces where it’s applied.

Spray foam comes in two forms; closed-cell and open-cell foam.

Closed-Cell: A thicker, heavier foam that may act as a barrier for air and vapor while providing some structural benefit.

Open-Cell: A less dense foam that acts as a barrier for air, and may also provide some level of noise reduction.
