  • Why fiberglass versus other insulation products?

    Unlike other insulation products, fiberglass is non-moisture absorbent and is non-flammable by nature. Fiberglass insulation is primarily made of silica sand and recycled glass.

  • Why do I need to upgrade my insulation?

    When your home was built, utility costs were much lower. However, natural gas and electricity costs have increased significantly, and insulation will help reduce this expense.

  • Why do I need to air seal my attic?

    Air sealing your attic penetrations will help prevent heat and moisture from entering the attic space.

  • Why do I have moisture in my attic?

    Unvented bath fans, dirt crawl spaces, and humidifiers set too high are the leading causes of attic moisture.

  • Why do I need to ventilate my attic?

    Ventilation removes excess heat and moisture, keeping your attic cooler and drier. Mold is an opportunistic organism that is everywhere. All it needs to develop is 60% humidity and oxygen. American Insulation will help you solve your humidity problems before we remediate your mold.
