Quality Insulation
Think of insulation as a thermal blanket surrounding you to keep warm during the winter and cool in the summer. Insulation is rated in “R-values.” A single pane of glass provides little insulation so therefore it is an R1. The higher the R-value the more it resists the flow of heat from warm to cold. At Bradley Mechanical, we can help you choose the best kind of insulation for your home.
