Insulation Contract

Are you a licensed installer? Can I speak with your references? What warranty or guarantee do you provide for your insulation? What personal protective equipment do you require for your workers? Do you carry liability insurance and workers comp insurance? What type of insulation products do you offer?

The best types of home attic insulation are open cell spray foam, fiberglass, and cellulose. Cellulose is the oldest insulation material used for not only the attic but other areas of the home as well. Cellulose can be either a loose-fill or blown-in material and is primarily made of recycled newsprint or denim.

It is also worth knowing that spray foam insulation does not qualify for Mass Save® rebates.

Insulation workers, also called insulators, install and replace the materials used to insulate buildings or mechanical systems.

The work tends to be physically challenging, requiring bending in tight spaces, and it's not for the claustrophobic. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 2.9 percent employment growth for insulation contractors between 2019 and 2029. In that period, an estimated 1,800 jobs should open up.

An insulation contractor is a type of contractor who is specialized in installing thermal insulation. These are contractors who work on residential, commercial, or industrial projects and coordinate with heating, plumbing, and mechanical construction workers.

According to Energy Star, an insulation contractor is a specialized contractor who installs thermal insulation. They can specialize in one type of insulation, such as fiberglass, cellulose, or spray foam, or install more than one type.

The effectiveness of insulation is rated by R-values. The higher the R-value, the greater the material's ability to insulate. Each inch of fiberglass blanket insulation, for example, provides an R-value of about 3.27. Loose-fill insulation can vary from about 2.2 to 4.0, depending on how effectively it is installed.

It is also worth knowing that spray foam insulation does not qualify for Mass Save® rebates.
