What is the difference between blown-in insulation and foam insulation?

Blown-in Insulation – This material is blown into place with a special hose. It is excellent for unfinished attics, but can be added to exterior walls, as well. Some of the materials that make up blown-in insulation include: cellulose, rock, wool, and fiberglass. Cellulose is made from recycled newspapers and is a green material.

Foam Insulation – This insulation is installed with special equipment, and offers excellent protection. It can be added just about anywhere in a home, but its commonly used for exterior walls, basements, attics, ceilings, and floors.

We also used infrared cameras to test the energy performance. An energy audit is recommended for all homes and buildings.

By Admin

Monday, February 29th, 2016

Recently Fan Man Inc. was contacted by a family in Matthews. We talked to two excited parents whose daughter had to do a science project for school, which involved conservation and home economics. This led the daughter to call us at Fan Man Inc. for a home energy audit, and we determined that the family could really benefit from our Matthews insulation contractor services.

The Fan Man Inc. energy audit specialists arrived at the home and informed the family what exactly the energy audit could provide for them and their home. We let them know that the energy audit would detect any leaks in the duct work, and it would also let the family know that any appliances or systems in the home that wasn’t operating properly. Our energy audit will show them how to have an energy efficient home and a cozier home too! Our specialists did the audit and the main problem that the home had was improper insulation of the home. The parents wanted to have the insulation added, so our crew returned two days later and added the insulation. The parents were very proud of their daughter and glad to be able to save money, thanks to the insulation contractors Matthews families depend upon, which is Fan Man Inc. We are happy that we could save the family money on energy costs and they will have a home that is cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Many homeowners don’t realize just adding insulation can save money on energy costs, but they also will have a comfortable home year round.

New Attic Insulation for a home in Matthews, NC

By Admin

Monday, April 6th, 2015

Fan Man Inc. received a call from a North Carolina homeowner who wanted attic insulation installed in Matthews in his home that he was putting on the market to sell. The customer said that his realtor advised him to have the new insulation added because it would help lower future energy costs, which would increase the value of the home.

The Fan Man Inc. crew arrived at the home in Matthews, North Carolina, and the homeowner showed them the attic. After an inspection, we could tell that the attic insulation was indeed needed. The current insulation was not nearly enough to properly cover the size of the home. There were air leaks throughout and the temperature was not even.

The Fan Man crew needed to add enough insulation that would be a R49, which is recommended by the Department of Energy. The crew made sure that before the new insulation was added they did an air leak check. The crew checked the vents, the wiring holes, and down the walls. All leaks were sealed, then the insulation was added until the level was at a R49. We made sure that the correct amount was added to provide the maximum comfort throughout the home with affordable heating and cooling costs. Our customer was pleased with our quality of work!
