Insulation Contractor of protection against the movement of heat into and out of a home or building. As a result, it controls heating and cooling costs, stabilizes indoor temperatures and reduces HVAC wear and tear. Insulation can be blown, sprayed or stapled into a wall or attic. It can be found in a wide variety of materials, with fiberglass being the standard and other options like rock wool, plastic foams and cellulose providing good alternatives.
