Insulation Contractors in Ooltewah, TN
The easiest time to insulate a wall is right now
Ooltewah has taken a large share of the area's new residential building, which means a lot of open framing. A wall is reachable once, during construction, and closed for decades afterwards.
New Construction and Additions
On a new build the insulation decision is made once and lived with for the life of the house. Open cell foam in the walls air seals the cavity as it fills it, which a batt cannot do, and at the roof line it brings the attic inside the envelope so that ductwork up there is no longer running through unconditioned space. We work to the framing and drywall schedule.
Newer Does Not Automatically Mean Sealed
A house built to code is built to a minimum, and minimum compliance leaves plenty of air movement in place. If a newer Ooltewah home has rooms that never hold temperature, the usual cause is the envelope rather than the equipment. Call (423) 799-3836.
Questions
Common questions
Do you work with builders on new construction?
Yes, and scheduling around framing and drywall is part of the quote.
My house is only a few years old. Why is one room always hot?
Usually air movement through the envelope, or duct runs in unconditioned attic space, rather than the HVAC equipment itself.
Can you insulate an addition while it is being framed?
Yes, and that is the right time. Once drywall is on, the cavity is closed.
