Insulation Installation in Salisbury, NC
The North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA) has determined that about 90% of U.S. single-family homes don't have enough insulation and are wasting both energy and money, increasing the home's carbon footprint and decreasing homeowner comfort levels. With sufficient insulation, you'll see lower energy bills as you stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. The same is true of U.S. businesses – stand-alone businesses are woefully under-insulated.
Peeler Environmental is the best insulation contractor in the Salisbury, NC, area. We've been in business for over 56 years, moving from solely pest management into a full-service, family-owned-and-operated company committed to caring for the environment and our community. When you don't have enough insulation in your home, your HVAC system has to work harder to heat and cool your house, creating more greenhouse gases than a properly insulated home. Inadequate insulation can lead to over 60% of your heated and cooled air leaking from your house through your walls, floors, and ceilings.
We're the best residential insulation contractor you'll find in the area. We insulate not only your attic but also your crawl space, further driving down your home energy costs and HVAC emissions.
When To Replace Your Insulation
When your home insulation starts to fail, you may be subject to more than just a drafty house and higher energy bills. You may have to deal with rodents, allergies, and mold. Some signs that you need our insulation services include the following:
- Some rooms in your home have a draft, with unwelcome air temperatures seeping in from outside.
- Someone in your home is dealing with allergies or is ill since bacteria can grow mold, bacteria, or allergens.
- You experience uneven temperatures in your house, where some rooms are warm and others are cold.
- You have frequent leaks, condensation, and other moisture issues that could damage your existing insulation.
- Your house is always too cold or hot, and you can never get it to stay at the right temperature.
- Your insulation looks like it's wet, thin, breaking down, shifting, or falling, all of which indicate that it is failing.
No matter what kind of insulation you have, it's not impervious to harm. Some factors that can make it more important for you to replace attic insulation include the following:
- The insulation has mold growing on it, making family members with allergies sick.
- Your home has been through a fire or a severe weather event, either of which could decimate your insulation.
- The insulation is punctured, whether accidentally or by rodents, leaving it with holes in the protection of your home.
- The insulation is dusty or dirty, which can impact its ability to insulate your home.
- Your roof has had water damage, including blown-off shingles or leaks that soaked your insulation, leaving it less functional.
- You suspect the previous owners may have done a poor job insulating your house, or your home is older and may have never had proper insulation at all.
- You have batt insulation, which fails after 15 to 20 years.
- The insulation installed was loose-fill insulation, which settles and leaves air leaks and needs replacement.
Some older homes have no insulation at all, and even in newer homes, the insulation may be lacking. Putting off having insulation installed may be tempting because you think it's messy and time-consuming, but we can have your home insulated in just a few days, and we'll take care of the mess. As a third-generation family-owned-and-operated business, we treat you like part of our family, and our moms taught us to clean up after ourselves.
Insulating Your Crawl Space
At Peeler Environmental, our insulation service doesn't stop in your attic. It extends to your crawl space, as well.

We're experts in conditioned crawl spaces – a crawl space constructed and insulated so that it functions as part of the entire conditioned space of the house. Conditioned crawl spaces perform better in many cases in terms of safety, health, comfort, durability, and energy consumption.
