The most important consideration for keeping your home cool in the
summer and warm in the winter is a proper installation of your
insulation. Best Pick Reports conducts ongoing research so you can
identify professional residential insulation installers for your Chicago
home.
Contractors and other home service providers must meet
strict criteria to be among the Best Picks. For instance, they must
excel in our research in comparison to competitors and carry proper
licensing and insurance. More importantly, no one can pay to become a
Best Pick Company.
However, the most valuable part of our research process involves the
feedback received from customers. As a regular part of our research
process, we conduct interviews with Chicago homeowners every year to
provide valuable feedback on insulation contractors they've used.
Knowing their feedback is confidential, and the contractor does not
employ their interviewer, homeowners are often candid in expressing
opinions.
Proper insulation brings energy-efficiency to your home's comfort
systems. It's not just for attics and outside walls. Other areas of your
home—basement and interior walls, floors above vented crawl spaces, an
unheated garage or porch—should be insulated as well. You can even use
some types of insulation to provide for sound control. Whether
fiberglass, mineral wool, cellulose, cotton, or spray foam insulation,
Chicago homeowners should know that the most common problem is not just
having too little insulation. The most common issue is ensuring the
greatest thermal performance (or "R" value) that your insulation should
provide. The only way to achieve this is through proper installation.
