Installing insulation is a great way to help maximize your home’s energy efficiency and stay comfortable throughout the year. But there are many insulation contractors to choose from—so how do you make sure you find a reliable one?

Insulation Companies

If you haven’t already, you should go online and search for companies in the area. But it doesn’t end there! Be sure to further look at these companies by checking industry websites as well as review sites. Then, go a step further and actually call these companies to speak with one of their professionals. This can give you a pretty good feel for how they operate and how helpful they are.

When you’re talking to potential insulation contractors, make sure you:

• Ask for references and contact at least three of them.
• Check professional websites—be sure to look the company up on the Better Business Bureau.
• Verify the company’s license and insurance.
• Ask about receipts or contracts before the insulation is installed (this is required by law).
• Check the bag label for the brand of insulation they will install—be careful about hiring a company that uses insulation in bags that aren’t labeled).
• Verify the company’s physical address and phone number. When you search for a legitimate company online, their location is displayed.

Insulation Contractors to Avoid

If you take the right steps, it can actually be fairly easy to detect bad insulation contractors. You should avoid any insulation company if you experience any of the following warning signs:

• A company asks for money up front.
• A company doesn’t have references or tells you that you can’t contact them because of confidentiality.
• A company doesn’t allow you to verify their license or insurance information.
