What to know about Blown-In insulation
Blown-in insulation covers two jobs that share a machine and nothing else. Loose-fill poured or blown onto an open horizontal surface settles under its own weight and is measured in depth. Dense-pack, blown under pressure into a closed wall cavity through a drilled hole, is measured in pounds per cubic foot and is as much an air sealing measure as an insulating one. DOE's Building America guideline is specific about the difference: cellulose should be installed at a recommended density of 3.25 to 4.0 pounds per cubic foot and fiberglass fibers at 1.6 pounds per cubic foot, because the material must reach the required density throughout the entire cavity to reduce the risks of convective looping, settling and air leakage.

How to choose insulation contractors in Auburn
- Choose a contractor who talks about air sealing and ventilation, not only adding more insulation.
- Ask them to check the attic or walls for moisture, mould, old wiring or insulation that may contain asbestos before starting.
- Get a written quote that states the type of insulation, the areas covered and the target insulation level.
- For spray foam, ask about their training, curing time and when it's safe to be back in the home.
- Consider an energy audit before and after the work to see where heat is being lost.
Questions to ask insulation contractors before you hire
- What type of insulation do you recommend for this area, and why?

- What will you do if you find old insulation that may contain asbestos, mould or old wiring?
