Do you need to insulate your home or commercial building in Ellicott City, Maryland? Accurate Insulation can help.
In this era of rising energy costs, choosing the best insulation for your application is more important than ever. Whether it’s for new construction or an existing home or building, properly installed insulation can save you a lot of money.
Studies have shown that improperly installed or insufficient insulation can increase energy costs.
Insulation Installation for Homes & Buildings
Insulation offers many benefits beyond energy savings. In addition to helping you save on your utility bills, insulation can help:
- Make your home or building more comfortable

Types of Insulation We Install
We install these types of insulation in homes and buildings throughout the Ellicott City, Maryland, area:
Fiberglass: Fiberglass, which has been used to insulate homes for decades, is available as loose-fill or batts. Fiberglass is made of tiny glass fibers and is often installed in attics but can be used to insulate walls and crawl spaces as well.
Cellulose: Cellulose is environmentally friendly — it consists of up to 85% recycled material and takes less energy to make than other insulation materials — and can be installed in any area of a home.
Spray foam: Typically made of polyurethane, spray foam is applied wet and expands into thick foam. Spray foam insulation can be installed in crevices and hard-to-reach areas and can help reduce air infiltration.
Radiant barrier: Radiant barrier is a type of reflective insulation material typically installed in attics (under the roof) to help reduce cooling costs by reflecting radiant heat.
Expert Insulation Removal
Well-installed, quality insulation can last 80 years or longer. But after only 15 years, many homes’ insulation begins to shred and deteriorate; if your home is over 10 years old, you might want to consider an insulation inspection or energy audit.
For health and safety reasons, insulation removal requires professional handling and disposal.
Signs You Need Insulation Removal
Most people want to lower their monthly heating and cooling costs. New insulation can save 15% on monthly energy bills when you add insulation to attics, basements and crawl spaces.
Also, different types of insulation have different lifespans. Cellulose and fiberglass insulation can begin deteriorating between 10 and 15 years after installation.
