The most obvious reason to invest in insulating your residential or commercial building is to create an effective barrier between indoor and outdoor air and temperatures so as not to heat/cool a building in vain. For example, running an air conditioner in a “leaky building” is a bit like pouring water through a sieve. But it’s about money and not about water going down the drain!
But there are also other, less noticed advantages. First, your air conditioner or heater runs less and doesn’t have to work as hard to do its job. This means it will last longer and delay the day it needs to be repaired or replaced.
Additionally, installing new insulation and eliminating air leaks will result in faster heating/cooling of your home/business. This means you can spend less time waiting uncomfortably for the indoor air temperature to finally become comfortable.
Finally, the additional insulation increases the resale value of your property. The return on investment is very high with insulation because it is something every potential buyer wants (and probably has questions about).
At Wisler Plumbing & Air, we are an insulation company that can install a wide range of insulation types in any part of your building. We can quickly assess how much insulation you need to meet your energy efficiency goals, explain the benefits of different types and brands of insulation products, and provide you with an accurate, no-obligation quote.
Attic insulation work is by far the most common. The reason is simple: most of the heat in a building escapes through the roof, through the attic (if the building has an attic). And a large part of the heat stays in the attic and then reaches the living spaces. , which is a major problem when trying to cool your living space during Virginia's scorching summer months.
If your attic is not currently insulated, insulating it can save you up to 20% on your energy costs. Additionally, good insulation can prevent uncontrolled condensation and mold growth in your attic and reduce noise levels (especially from jet planes flying overhead, which is not uncommon in Virginia).
Attic cleaning, removal of all old and ineffective insulation, air sealing, rodent protection, installation of a radiant heat barrier (to remove heat from your attic), and installation of fans and vents are all other services we offer. We can perform a “complete attic makeover” that will make your attic and home extremely energy efficient and even transform your attic into usable living space.
Another very common part of the home that requires new insulation is the basement and/or crawl space. These lower parts of the building often get too cold, and the floors directly above also get cold on cold mornings and are uncomfortable to walk on.
Install insulation in the ceiling of your crawl space, directly under your floorboards; or on the walls and ceilings of your basement; will solve these problems.
This also creates a barrier that prevents allergens, mold spores, insects, or even rodents from entering your home through the crawl space or unfinished basement. And of course there are also energy savings and the possibility of using the basement space as a new bedroom or home office.
Not only the top and bottom of your home, but also the walls, interior ceilings/floors and all openings should be optimized for energy efficiency.
For new buildings or extensions, insulating mats can easily be inserted between beams and studs during construction. For existing walls without insulation, blown-in insulation is usually easier to install. Either way, the R-value is about the same and can significantly reduce your energy costs.
Not only will it be more difficult for heat to pass through your exterior walls, but insulating the interior walls will also allow you to heat individual rooms more efficiently without heating the entire house.
Blown-in insulation is also often used in ceilings of multi-story buildings to slow heat loss between the top and bottom. If you want, mats can also be used there. And re-insulating (and sealing) doors and windows can be an important way to improve the energy efficiency of your building.

At Wisler Plumbing & Air we know how to approach each project step by step in an organized manner to save time, avoid incidents and guarantee a result of the highest quality.
We start by inspecting the area to be insulated. We must first prepare the room to get your maximum R-value and overall value. This may mean sealing the air out of small holes and large spaces in your attic, replacing a moldy rafter board, or cleaning up rat droppings. Anyway, we prepare everything before laying the insulation.
We then lay the insulation professionally. When blowing in, this means working the floorboards so that the insulation falls into each row and checking that it is compact and evenly distributed. When it comes to mats, this means ensuring a good fit for any space, creating a strong barrier and allowing transition from one end of the work area to the other.
We don’t consider the job complete until we have cleaned it up and made sure everything is correct. And we make 100% customer satisfaction our standard measure of “job well done.”
