How does insulation work?
Heat flows naturally from a warmer to a cooler space. In cold weather, it flows from heated rooms to the unheated attic, garage or basement, or to the outdoors. In hot weather, heat flows from outside your home to its interior. To maintain comfort, the heat lost in winter must be replaced by your heating system, and the heat gained in summer must be removed by your air conditioner. Insulation resists the flow of heat, preventing unwanted circulation. Thus, in a well-insulated house, rooms stay warmer in winter, cooler in summer, with less energy expenditure.

Save Money & Energy by Insulating Your Home

What is the benefit of insulation?
Heating and cooling systems consume 50% to 70% of the energy used in the average American home. You will save on your energy costs if you reduce the amount of energy needed for heating and cooling. Insulation helps your home retain heat in cold weather and reject heat in warm seasons.
Doesn’t my house already have insulation?
It probably does not have enough. In much of the housing in America, attic insulation levels are inadequate at best. That is because many homebuilders only offer standard and not optimal levels of attic insulation, in order to maintain competitive selling prices. Older homes are also very likely to have inadequate attic insulation. But even in a newer home, additional attic insulation will save enough money in reduced utility bills to pay for itself, and those savings will, of course, continue year after year. Upgraded attic insulation will also increase the value of your house.
Nearly every homeowner can save both energy and money by adding insulation to their house. Good insulation is permanent, maintenance free, and can return your investment by lowering your utility bills.
To make certain your home is as energy efficient as possible, you must use insulation to create a what is called a "thermal envelope" around your home. Heat moves from warm areas to cold ones, so on cold days, the heat in your home tries to get to the colder air outside, and on warm days, the outside heat tries to get inside your home. Insulation helps to ensure that you home stays as comfortable as possible and helps to drastically reduce your costs for heating and cooling.
Insulation is the most basic and cost effective way to lower make your home more energy efficient your homes energy usage and improve the comfort level of your home.
Insulation is an important part of your home's construction and essential for keeping your home as quiet, comfortable and energy efficient as possible. Recent studies from the U.S. Department of Energy found that over a third of new homes have lower levels of insulation installed than specified and an additional fifth have serious installation problems that result in significantly decreased effectiveness of the insulation. In addition, virtually all of the homes studied were found to have numerous insulation installation defects that reduce the performance of the insulation well below its rated R-value.
-- WARNING --
If the insulation in your home is over 20 years old it is no longer effective. Insulation breaks down and no longer is able to do its job and ward away heat. Many homes are wasting 60-70% of their energy because of this broken down insulation and drastically increasing their utility bills. Also with age it gets dirty and becomes filled with bacteria and is unhealthy for you and your family.
Attic Fans - Installation and Service
Attic fans are designed to exhaust the trapped hot air out of your attic.
Attic fans work on a thermostat and when you attic reaches a certain temperature the attic fan turns on to blow the hot air out. Los Angeles Attic Cleaning recommends attic fans to people who have existing cooling systems since these fans can considerably lessen the demand on air conditioning units and make the upper levels of the home cooler. These fans work very well in the southern California climate since it is dry and cools down in the evenings. They can be installed on the roof or in a gable of your home. For these fans to work properly the attic space needs tohave intake ventilation as well. The amount of intake depends on the size of fan you have installed. Our experts can diagnose your specific situation and get you on the road to having a cool, comfortable, and energy efficient summer!

Attic Clean Up & Rodent Trap Setting Services
Do you have a problem with rodent infestation in your home?
Would you like to find a permanent solution to your problem?
We Can Eliminate Your Mouse & Rat Infestation Problems in Your Home!
Once rodents have created their homes inside your attic they begin leaving their feces behind, which continues to bring them back into your home on a yearly basis because of the scent they leave behind. You can hire an exterminator to come into your home and chase these pesty rodents away, but this alone will not stop them from coming back. The exterminators job is to remove these rodents from you home at the time of their service, but not to permanently rid your house of these pesky creatures, so they do not perform any cleanup of the dead carcases or cleanup any of the feces left behind by these animals, which is the real issue in the first place that keeps them coming back.
We are here to help you with your need and come in and do all of the dirty work. We will completely clean out your entire attic and disinfect it so that we eliminate any odors that are left behind after your rodents have left. We will also make certain to patch any of the holes and entrances that these rodents have created in your homes structure. We can assist you with the attic cleanup, rat cleanup, rodent cleanup, decontamination, debris cleanup and insulation removal and replacement services.
The cleanup process is crucial if you want to fully rid your home of future infestations of these rodents. Our process will make certain that these animals will not re-enter into your home to cause you the exact same problem you were dealing with in the first place. These animals can destroy many vital parts of your homes structure, tear into you current insulation, dig through your air vents, chew up electrical lines and leave behind harmful waste and bacteria in your home. Our goal is to help make your home a safer place for you and your family to live.
We specialize in rat cleanup and other rodent decontamination services. If you have had any infestation problems of any kind in the past call us today to clean it up for you at 818-665-3575.
You can rest easy knowing that our expertise is on your side!
Testimonial
"I lived in this house for 20 years and twice a year we used to get a family of mice move in. I can't explain why they they keep coming back. The exterminator would give me so many excuses on why they would come back. When their crew came out they inspected my attic, level of contamination and bacteria levels and found that my attic was full of feces, and smelled like urine. They recommended to have my attic cleaned and disinfected to assure rats, mice or any other rodents don't come back. They also cleaned and sealed a few ducts that were attacked by the rodents, that was nice of them its been really nice knowing I don't have 1600 s.f. of poop over my head. I haven't heard or seen any sigh of rats or mice. I really think my problem is solved. Thank you."
