Insulation Contractors Near Long Island – Hunter Insulation

Attics are areas that are particularly susceptible to extreme temperature swings. Without proper insulation, an attic can be an expensive source of energy loss. Hunter Insulation can install additional insulation in an attic to reduce heat loss, utility bills, and wear and tear on heating and cooling systems. Attic doors should also be insulated to protect against unwanted air transfer. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, roughly 80% of older homes can benefit from additional attic insulation.

Homes and businesses in Long Island often lack insulation in areas that are not visible (e.g., inside walls). Some estimates say up to 90% of homes are under-insulated. Hunter Insulation’s insulation contractors can drill a small hole into a wall and then blow in a loose-fill insulation product to seal cracks and gaps around pipes, cables, doors, and more. Our drill-and-fill application provides lasting comfort and superior noise control.

Buildings built before 1960 in the Long Island area often have little to no insulation in their walls. Hunter Insulation can install wall insulation during construction or in existing interior and exterior walls. We often install exterior wall insulation at the same time as a siding replacement project. For interior walls, we can use a drill-and-fill application to minimize mess and costs.

Insulating a crawl space in Long Island can make a building more energy efficient and comfortable. If your crawl space has a dirt floor, the first step in insulation installation may be installing a polyurethane vapor barrier to keep moisture out. Contact Hunter Insulation, and we can evaluate your crawl space, and recommend insulation, vapor barriers, dehumidifiers, and more.

Installing insulation in floors in homes and businesses in Long Island can improve the thermal barrier and can help with soundproofing. Insulation is particularly important in floors above cold spaces such as crawl spaces and unheated garages as well as above slab floors built directly on the ground. Hunter Insulation installs floor insulation to make all types of buildings more comfortable.

Ceiling insulation helps reduce air flow and noise transfer between levels of residential and commercial structures. If you have a cathedral ceiling, insulation can moderate temperatures while preventing moisture intrusion and roof degradation. Hunter Insulation installs ceiling insulation products as a thermal and acoustical barrier and also for increased fire resistance.

Older homes and businesses in the Long Island area may have some insulation installed, but over time, that insulation may underperform due to a build up of dirt, dust, and moisture. When older insulation becomes less energy efficient, insulation removal is an important first step before replacing the insulation with newer, more energy efficient materials.
