Well, that poem sums it all up. Many homeowners believe that it will be more cost-efficient to install their own insulation. With the drop in temperatures outside, homeowners will dash to their local hardware store and buy all of the supplies that they think they will need to insulate and air seal their home. After hours of work, these homeowners still feel a chill in their home. To avoid wasted hours of work, just go straight to the solution: call the professionals so that the job gets done right the first time.
Adding some loose-fill cellulose to your attic could seem like the perfect do-it-yourself project, but if you’re not a professional this will most likely be a waste of time. To install cellulose insulation, the person installing it is required to know each step of the process. First off, working in attics, walls, floors, and ceilings can be hazardous. Many inexperienced do-it-yourselfers have been seriously injured stumbling over joists or falling through the ceiling. Often times the damage done costs more than the original insulation task.
Professionals know how to balance sealed air and necessary airflow. Although air sealing is necessary for keeping your home warm in the winter, your home must be ventilated to keep the air from becoming completely stagnant. If the person installing the insulation and sealing off the home does not know how to balance the flow, then more problems will arise. If the home is not sealed properly, the insulation will not perform.
