Safety First: Reasons to use Professional Installation
Let’s start this run-through of reasons by looking at the most important one, you and your home’s safety! If you asked anyone, even just poking around in an attic, how important safety is to them, you’re sure to get a clear and resounding, “Very!”. While the sentiment surrounding safety is objectively a no-brainer, many inexperienced homeowners find themselves in over their head as they’re facing property damage, injury, and even heat exhaustion.
Don’t let old insulation heat up your home.
Many homeowners dread the thought of even going into their attic to move their boxes of decorations, keepsakes, or whatever is in -that- unlabeled mystery box. This is because of how dangerous every step can feel up there, even in newer homes. The threat of stepping in the wrong spot, twisting an ankle, and creating a hole in the ceiling below may make for a funny story one day, but it isn’t exactly something you’d wish on yourself.
What’s more, were you aware that the summer of 2023 marked Harris County’s deadliest in over five years, with fatalities primarily attributed to heat-related causes? Don’t let yourself become a statistic in what can be the hottest area in your home. Let the Pros at EZ Attic Insulation handle the hard work for you.
Now that we’ve covered why safety is such an important reason on why you should skip the DIY insulation installation project, let’s look at what else the pros at EZ Attic bring that’s hard to replicate on your own.
Insulation Experience is Key
If you were asked what the ventilation requirements are in your attic per 150 square feet, would you know? What if you were asked what the resistance rating of your insulation would need to be and why that’s important? Do you know what equipment you need to consider blown or spray foam insulation as viable and the safe options for your attic upgrades? If you answered correctly and confidently to each of these, color us impressed at your dedication to your attic. But if you’re like most homeowners, we’re guessing you are caught a bit off-guard and stuck with a lot of guesswork.
