common home insulation options since they are economical, readily available, and familiar to most contractors. The ambitious homeowner - with the right instructions and equipment, can even install some products, of course. One of the most common and well known insulation options is Fiberglass. It is made from silica sand heated to very high temperatures to produce glass and then spun into micro-fibers. It is the most popular insulation options on the market and comes in batts, rolls, and as a loose-fill. In new construction, fiberglass batts can be installed in wall cavities and between floor joists. Loose-fill fiberglass can also be blown into wall cavities and in attics and ceilings. Fiberglass is fairly inexpensive and effective but it does pose some potential health risks - Cancer warnings are posted on most fiberglass insulation products sold in the US. The microscopic glass slivers can easily break loose and be inhaled, irritating and lodging in the respiratory system. Prolonged exposure can cause lead to reduced lung capacity and possibly cancer. In addition, standard fiberglass has been manufactured with a formaldehyde-based binding agent that gives off vapors and can affect installers and home occupants. Formaldehyde is classified by the Environmental Protection Agency as a probable human carcinogen. Some manufacturers, such as Owens Corning, have introduced formaldehyde-free fiberglass insulation. Miraflex is soft and not irritating to the skin as its older counterparts are. On the positive side, fiberglass doesn’t shrink, won’t burn, and is not inviting to insects. Standard batts for 2” x 4” wall cavities are rated at R-11 and high-density batts at R-15. In new construction, a builder can get away with cramming an R-19 bat for a 2” x 6” wall into the standard 2” x 4” wall. This doesn’t help, though, if your home is already built. Cellulose insulation is primarily composed of shredded, recycled newspaper together with small amounts of cardboard. It has a fluffy consistency and can be sprayed, damp or dry, into wall cavities and attics. Treated with boric acid , cellulose insulation is a natural insect repellant, mold inhibitor, and fire retardant. Standard cellulose has an R value of 3.2 per inch compared with 2.2 for blown fiberglass. Energy Control Inc. produces a cellulose fiber insulation with an R value per inch of 3.8 , the highest in the industry. Ace & Sons, uses only Energy Control cellulose insulation. Blown cellulose insulation, while producing some dust during installation, contains NO cancer causing fibers . It is safe for installers and for homeowners! For those of us who are environmentally conscious , cellulose insulation is really the smart choice: many tons of newspaper that would otherwise be taking up space in landfills are now insulating our homes Fiberglass production eats up gobs of electricity, even when recycled glass is used, and just can \'t stack up with the performance of cellulose. Mineral Wool , or Rock Wool, used to be the most widely used insulation options in the USA and Canada. Mineral wool is a fibrous insulation made from stone and/or iron ore waste from the steel making industry. Like fiberglass, it comes in blankets or can be blown-in as a loose fill. Heavier than fiberglass and cellulose, mineral wool is moisture-resistant and retains its insulating properties even when wet.

Every homeowner is faced with energy bills - whether they are electricity, natural gas, oil, or a combination - and I \'ll bet every one of those homeowners wish they paid less. How about you? Many people are simply unaware that they have a measure of control over their home energy usage and do have opportunities to significantly reduce their bills - both heating and cooling. Some simply resign themselves to paying higher and higher energy bills to keep their homes at a comfortable temperature. Sure, you can turn your lights off when you \'re not in the room, try not to use the dishwasher too often, maybe reduce hot water temperature. Every little bit helps for sure, but these are relatively small benefits compared to proper insulation. So ... Why Should You Insulate Your Home? According to the Department of Energy, heating and cooling - space conditioning - account for 50% to 70% of the energy used in the average American home. About 20% is for heating water and lighting, appliances, and everything else accounts for only 10% to 30%. So, you can see how home insulation addresses the highest area of energy cost - heating and cooling. Even if you are living in a newer home, adding insulation should help reduce your energy bills. Even home insulation in newer houses may not be adequate, unless special attention was paid to energy efficient construction methods.

Did you know that here in Michigan the recommended insulation level for an attic is R-48. So a typical attic in an older home that looks like this: with about 2 inches of fiberglass batt has an R-Value of about 5. Even a new new batt of Owens-Corning is not nearly enough attic insulation for our Michigan winters. Ace & Sons Insulation uses Energy Control brand blown cellulose insulation with an R-value of 3.8! That \'s about 1.5 times better than fiberglass! So, about 12 1/2 inches of Energy Control cellulose is all the attic insulation your home needs to keep your family comfortable in the cold of winter and in the heat of summer. The photo at the right shows the same old two inches of insulation, but note the blue baffles, installed prior to the insulation to prevent the cellulose from blocking your home \'s soffits and insure proper attic ventilation. After preparing your attic \'s ventilation, Ace & Sons blows in over 13 inches of the highest R-Value cellulose insulation available. Please note that the R-Value of cellulose is its pre-settled value . This means that even after the cellulose settles over time, the R-Value is still guaranteed. As you can see (right), Ace & Sons makes sure to fill every nook and cranny ... even under your floorboards. This is a properly insulated Michigan attic with over 12.5 of cellulose, providing the proper R-Value of 48. Ace & Sons will leave your attic neat, clean, and still with plenty of storage space, and you will be very comfortable in all types of weather! Wall Insulation Did you know that your walls may have NO WALL INSULATION at all? If you have an older home - built before the 1970 \'s - the space in your exterior walls between the studs probably have nothing but air inside. That is the same cold air that is outside (or warm air in the summer) trying to get in with nothing to stop it but your walls! It is no wonder why your home always feels chilly in the winter - even with the furnace working overtime - or stuffy in the summer - even with your AC blasting all day long. Want a More Comfortable Home? Adding wall insulation is a great way to a more comfortable home. Attics and walls account for 80% of heat loss in the average home, so shoring them up with proper insulation will really help keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. The photo at left shows a cross-section of a wall with cellulose insulation installed. You will see substantial savings on your energy bills!

Cellulose fibers are hollow and resists the transfer of heat These three methods of insulation give Energy Control cellulose a distinct advantage over other insulation options. Energy Control Cellulose has the highest R-Value of any common insulation products! Superior Results Colorado University researchers reported that cellulose insulation performs over 25% better than fiberglass in warm climates and nearly 40% better in cold weather conditions. Performance tests prove that some fiberglass products can lose 20 to 40% of their effective R-values (resistance to heat) in winter conditions. Cellulose actually performs better in these conditions, and Energy Control insulation is guaranteed for as long as you own your home. Superior Protection Energy Control \'s cellulose insulation products carry the full nine point Underwriter \'s Laboratory seal. This label gives you the assurance that our insulation has passed all government standards and tests for cellulose insulation. Repeated field tests have proven that cellulose increases the fire resistance of walls by up to 55% over fiberglass. Energy Control contains no asbestos, formaldehyde, or man-made fibers. That all adds up to peace of mind for your family! Superior Comfort Energy Control cellulose tightens buildings against air infiltration better than fiberglass batts. A study by University of Colorado School of Architecture and Planning found cellulose to be at least 35% better than fiberglass in stopping air infiltration - the major cause of drafty homes. Stopping this infiltration reduces the chance of condensation occurring, creating moisture problems in your home. In addition, Energy Control cellulose insulation provides whisper quiet walls, making your home even more comfortable with its superior sound deadening properties. Superior Ecology Cellulose insulation is kind to the environment. Our products are manufactured from 100% recycled fibers, reducing the largest single component of the residential waste stream. Cellulose requires much less energy to manufacture than fiberglass and mineral fiber, further reducing the strain on our natural resources. By reducing the amount of energy required to heat and cool your home, it saves both our natural resources and your hard earned dollars. Superior Value Insulating your home \'s walls and attic with Energy Control cellulose will reduce your winter heat bills and your summer cooling costs.
