Open cell spray foam insulation is a soft, pliable foam applied as a liquid that expands to fill cavities, providing an effective air seal and thermal barrier. It significantly reduces energy consumption by preventing air leakage and improving indoor comfort in your Eagle home.
Attic insulation involves installing or upgrading thermal barriers in your home's attic space to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption. This service significantly improves your home's energy efficiency, leading to lower utility bills and a more comfortable living environment year-round.
Garage insulation involves installing thermal barriers in garage walls, ceilings, and doors to regulate temperature and improve energy efficiency. This service transforms an unconditioned garage into a more comfortable and usable space, protecting stored items and reducing energy transfer into adjacent living areas.
Basement insulation involves installing thermal barriers in your basement walls, rim joists, and sometimes ceilings to control temperature and moisture. This work significantly reduces energy loss and prevents issues like cold floors or dampness in your Eagle home.
Shed insulation involves installing thermal barriers in walls, ceilings, and floors to regulate temperature and protect contents. This work transforms an unconditioned shed into a more functional, protected space for tools, projects, or storage.
Choosing Aim High Insulation for your Boise property means partnering with a contractor who understands the specific challenges and opportunities of the local climate. We're not just passing through; our base in Eagle, ID, means we're a short drive away, allowing for responsive service and a deep familiarity with Boise's diverse housing stock, from mid-century homes near Boise State University to newer developments in the Barber Valley. This local knowledge helps us anticipate common issues, like inadequate attic ventilation or aging wall insulation, and recommend solutions that truly work for this area.
Our approach to insulation installation prioritizes airtightness and proper material density, which are critical for long-term performance. For attic retrofits, we often use blown-in cellulose or fiberglass, ensuring full coverage around obstructions and achieving precise R-values. For wall insulation, dense-pack cellulose is a common choice, as it significantly reduces air leakage and thermal bridging within stud cavities. We measure and verify our work, ensuring the installed R-value meets or exceeds specifications, because poorly installed insulation performs far below its rated capacity.
When you work with us, expect a detailed assessment of your property's current insulation and air sealing needs. We provide clear explanations of our proposed solutions, including material specifications and the expected energy savings. Our installation process is meticulously planned to minimize disruption, and we always protect your property during work, cleaning up thoroughly afterwards. We believe in doing the job right the first time, because that's how we build lasting relationships with our Boise neighbors.
The recommended R-value for attic insulation in Boise homes is typically R-49 to R-60, according to current building codes and energy efficiency guidelines for Climate Zone 5. Achieving this R-value usually requires a depth of 16-20 inches for blown-in fiberglass or cellulose, depending on the material's density and R-value per inch. Proper depth ensures optimal thermal resistance, which significantly reduces heat transfer through the attic, leading to lower heating and cooling costs. We always verify the existing R-value and recommend the appropriate additional material to meet or exceed these standards.
Boise homeowners can often tell if their existing wall insulation is inadequate by observing uneven temperatures between rooms, cold spots near exterior walls, or unusually high energy bills. Drafts near outlets or windows, even when sealed, can also indicate poor wall insulation or air sealing. A thermal imaging camera can precisely identify areas of heat loss within wall cavities, revealing gaps or thin spots in insulation. We can conduct a thorough inspection, including visual assessments and sometimes a blower door test, to diagnose these issues accurately.
For Boise's climate, which experiences both hot summers and cold winters, a combination of insulation types is often best suited to provide year-round comfort and efficiency. Blown-in cellulose or fiberglass is excellent for attics due to its ability to conform to irregular spaces and achieve high R-values. For walls, dense-pack cellulose or closed-cell spray foam provides superior air sealing and thermal performance, mitigating both heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. We select materials based on the specific application, existing structure, and desired performance characteristics to ensure maximum effectiveness in both seasons.
