Insulation Services

Along with our conditioned and encapsulated crawl space services for mold remediation and energy conservation, we can also greatly increase the energy efficiency of your home with our insulation services.

Most homes have insulation in the attic and even newer homes have blown-in insulation.  But, what most homeowners do not know is that their attic insulation has settled and is allowing money in heating and cooling bills to be wasted right above their own heads.  The EPA recommends at least an R value of 30 in the southeast US and suggests up to 49.  The average home only as 19 or less.

We are an authorized TAP insulation installer.  This special Energy Star rated cellulose insulation can keep your home warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, greatly reduce natural gas and electric usage, while reducing spiders, silverfish, and many other pests in the attic.  TAP insulation is the only product that conserves energy AND provides pest control at the same time.  Many customers report a reduction in noise from aircraft above the house or even the neighbor mowing their yard.

We can also replace saturated, moldy, and even missing insulation under your home.

If you would like to learn more about how Peeler Environmental can save you money in energy bills and increase your comfort, while providing reduced risk, sustainable pest management, give us a call for an energy conservation consultation today.  You may also email us for more information.

FAQs

    - Why would a pest management company offer insulation?

            -Since pest management professionals already work under houses and in attics to reduce pests and moisture conditions, we can easily provide value-added services to improve the environment underneath, inside, and outside of your home.  TAP insulation IS pest control due to borate compounds found in the insulation material.  Peeler Environmental is a licensed pest management firm meeting EPA requirements for installing pest control insulation.  We often must remove contaminated insulation due to wildlife/pest infestation, so it is a part of our service to offer replacement of such insulation.

    - Is borate safe?

            -Borate is a reduced-risk active ingredient for pest control.  Borate has the potential hazard of a spoon of table salt.  Borate is a naturally occurring mineral that simply reduces an insect's ability to hold water.  Furthermore, the product is applied to the attic and behind walls where exposure to people and pets is very limited.

    - I heard that stuff is made from paper, isn't that bad for the environment?

            -Cellulose material comes from plants, as does paper.  However, this product does not come from cutting down trees, but from recycling old newspaper, magazines, phone books, coupons, and even expired currency.  TAP insulation conserves landfill space.  This is a very eco-friendly product.

    - Can I get a tax credit for having this insulation installed?

            - Yes!  The plan varies from year to year, but the IRS will give you a tax credit for installing this energy conserving product.

    - Why not just have more fiberglass insulation blown into my attic?

            -We can demonstrate this for you in person if you wish, but due to the density of cellulose insulation, it allows far less heat to pass through it.  This keeps solar energy out of your home during the summer and keeps heated air inside your home during the winter.

    - Why not have plain cellulose material installed by an insulation company?

            - If you are going to invest in such a product, why not choose one that will provide pest control at the same time for the same price.

    - I think I will call a company that only specializes in insulation.

            -  If you don't choose us, we encourage to find someone to help you conserve energy and save money, it is good for the environment and good for your household budget.  But general insulation contractors are not licensed to offer this product to you.  AND, we have on staff, an experienced pest management professional who previously ran an insulation company.
