How to Find the Best Insulation Contractors in Illinois
One problem homeowners face is how to find the best insulation contractors in Illinois. This can be a challenge because there are a lot of options, some great, some not-so-great. Luckily, for those in Moline, East Moline, Rock Island, Milan, Silvis, Hampton, Port Byron and neighboring towns in Illinois, there is at least one great option for insulation. Even though we are confident that you’ll have a great experience with Eco Insulation, we still think you should do your due diligence when finding an insulation contractor. So here are some useful tips on finding the best insulation contractors in Illinois.
Read the Reviews
One of the first places many people turn to, and you should to, is to online reviews. Sites like Yelp, Angie’s List, Google+, Facebook and many others can provide ratings based on other people’s experiences. These sites are a great place to get started, along with checking out the BBB. At the very least you can read about what others have experience when using a certain contractor. However, you don’t want to put all your faith into online reviews. Studies show that most people only review when they are upset with a service or extremely satisfied at work that was above and beyond. For adequate, satisfactory work, many people won’t provide an online review. So take the online rating with a grain of salt.
Know Your Insulation Terms
Prior to contacting insulation contractors, you should do some quick research into insulation terminology. Once you start the quote process, you’ll already start hearing terms you might not be familiar with. For example, do you what R-Value is? In short, it is a performance rating of different types of insulation. This is a great term to know, because you can learn which contractor is providing the highest quality insulation.
You’ll also want to know the difference between fiberglass and cellulose insulation. Fiberglass is the traditional sheeted insulation made from fiberglass whereas cellulose insulation is made from wood pulp and at least with Eco Insulation, is blown into empty spaces.
Evaluate Rebates
Finally, it is great to check out the different rebates offered through a contractor. For example, you may be eligible for a rebate if you install cellulose insulation in your home or business with Eco Insulation. It is in your best interest to find out what money you can get back because not every contractor is going to provide that info to you.
