Insulation

Use this guide to decide whether to request an insulation assessment and to prepare questions before contacting a company.

When to ask about insulation

If you're planning to add or replace insulation, or have drafts or uneven room temperatures, ask a contractor whether insulation work fits the issue. These signs alone don't identify the cause, so clarify what the assessment will cover.

Clarify what the assessment includes

The visit and recommendations can vary with the area and work being considered. Before scheduling, confirm whether the company will inspect existing insulation, discuss the areas you're concerned about, and explain its proposed work.

Questions to ask an insulation contractor

Use these questions to understand the proposed work before deciding.

  • Which areas of my home would you assess, and how?
  • What work are you recommending, and what is included in the scope?
  • Are there other issues you think should be assessed before insulation work?
  • What should I move, clear, or otherwise prepare before work begins?
  • Will I receive the recommendations and work details in writing?

Compare the proposed scope

Before choosing, make sure you understand which areas are included, what work is proposed, and what preparation is expected from you. If any part is unclear, ask for a written explanation so you can compare proposals on the same scope.
