We got to meet this sweet yellow lab mix out on the job yesterday in Newman Lake. We were doing a job for an Inland Power customer that was taking advantage of the incredible rebates available for insulation this year. #atticinsulation #spokaneinsulation #insulationspokane #celluloseinsulation #greenfiberinsulation #atticspokane #spokaneattic #insulationcontractors #insulationinstallation #blownincellulose #blowincellulose (at Newman Lake, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmfB8a0yRAL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

John is heading up into the attic with the hose after installing baffles for the soffit vents. This home in Suncrest was built in the mid-90’s and the insulation depth was about 7” of blown cellulose which equates to about an R25. We added an additional 7” of Green Fiber’s premium Sanctuary cellulose to increase it to an R50 which should keep the heat out of the attic and the icicles off the front of the house. If you’d like us to take a look at your attic and just let you know what’s going on up there, give us a call and we’ll take a look at your situation and let you know so you can make an informed decision. #spokaneattic #atticinsulation #spokaneinsulation #insulationspokane #blowncellulose #celluloseinsulation #fiberglassinsulation #greenfiber #pacificinsulation #cdainsulation #sanctuarycellulose #icicles #icedams (at Spokane, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmNOGgTvI1z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When it gets down into these sub-zero temperatures around Spokane and Coeur d'Alene the first thing I notice is my heat pump is just blowing cold air so we are back to the baseboards until it warms back up. Fortunately when we moved in I had my guys update the attic insulation to an R60 with blown in cellulose so even though we are using the baseboards, the heat is at least staying in the house. There is a lot of mis-information floating around recently about the difference between cellulose and fiberglass. The conclusion we at Pacific Insulation have reached is that dollar for dollar (with consideration to effectiveness, cost, safety, and health concerns) cellulose is a superior product because it is made from naturally insulating wood fibers. It's highly resistant to mold, mildew, fire and pests, and if it gets damp or wet all you have to do is let it dry. In fact in some applications for new construction, water is actually added to the cellulose to make it adhere in wall cavities. There was a study done on the differences between the two materials and I've attached an excerpt an a link to the entire article below.

"In fact, the loose-fill fiberglass lost 35% to 50% of its resistance to heat flow at temperature differences of 70° F to 76° F. The loss of R-value started at a temperature difference of about 32° F. With the temperature below the ceiling drywall held at 70° F, the R-value started dropping when the attic temperature was reduced to 38° F and had lost 35-50% when the attic temperature got to 0° F and below." https://www.energyvanguard.com/blog/does-fiberglass-attic-insulation-really-lose-r-value #atticinsulation #spokanewashington #spokaneinsulation #insulationspokane #atticspokane #spokaneattic #celluloseinsulation #blownincellulose #fiberglassinsulation #bestatticinsulation#greenfiberinsulation
