      Best In the Business

      Best I’ve seen in the business. Wish I would have found them earlier. Came out and was very reasonable and worked very efficient. The owner personally came out at the end to make sure that I was satisfied with the job his employees had done and that if I have any questions to ask for him personally. Great company great owner.

      Eldon G.

      Streamline insulated my basement and I wish I would have known about them when I built my home. Not only did they listen to my concerns they discussed pros and cons and then recommended what they would do as if they were insulating their own home!

      Eldon G. – St. George

      Positive Experience

      There really wasn’t any aspect that was negative with them. From the sales to the final product, it was honest, efficient, professional, and high quality. I feel like Streamline really gave their all to ensure a positive experience and produced quality work that they could stand behind! I was glad we went through Streamline and would recommend them to anyone!

      Josh W. – St. George

      Everyone was fantastic! I’m so glad that I chose to have them seal & insulate the attic, install a solar ventilation fan, and cover for attic fan. Service was friendly, knowledgeable and done well.

      • How to Improve Your Home’s Indoor Air Quality

        With COVID19 on the rise and stay-at-home orders in effect, people throughout the United States are being confined to their homes now more than ever. School is cancelled, offices are closed and major sporting events are postponed. Parents and children are experiencing a new kind of norm and which brings new joys and challenges.

        While many are concerned about their health outside their homes, it is important to consider their health inside the home as well. Many factors including improper insulation can lead to indoor air quality issues.

        Common short-term effects of indoor air pollution include:

        • dryness and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and skin,
        • headaches,
        • fatigue,
        • shortness of breath,
        • hypersensitivity and allergies,
        • sinus congestion,
        • coughing and
        • sneezing.

        If exposed to poor air quality conditions long-term include:

        • worsening respiratory disease (asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, bronchitis),
        • heart disease, and
        • lung cancer.

        Are you ready for the good news? There are solutions to improve the air quality in your home and protect the health of your family.

        Air Seal and Insulate Home

        Proper home insulation and air sealing can help mitigate the above risks. When places where potential drafts could occur are insulated and sealed, you are protecting your home from outside allergens and pollutants that can result in indoor air quality problems.

        By eliminating unwanted air leaks into your home, you can better control your indoor air quality. With no other entry points, all of the air that travels into your home has to do so through your HVAC system, which has filters that are specifically designed to help control the contents of the air. These filters can help prevent just about all common contaminants from entering your living space. Dust and other pollutants are stopped at the surface of the insulation, preventing them from entering the home, which allows you enjoy a higher quality of indoor air.

        Change Air Filter Regularly

        As air re-circulates throughout your home, dust and other particles will be distributed as well. A clean and well-maintained filter will block these unwanted allergens from recirculating in the living space. A clogged filter could slow the air moving throughout your duct system causing more dust to settle in the ductwork and run the risk of overheating or freezing up your HVAC equipment.

        Use Cooking Vents

        Many indoor air pollutants come from the kitchen. Gas stoves release harmful contaminants, including carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. Even electric burners produce those same pollutants in lower levels, as well as other particles that can be easily absorbed into your bloodstream. So, when you’re cooking, be sure to turn on your kitchen vents, or open a window to help filter out the air even more.

        Keep Rugs and Carpets Clean

        Rugs and carpets do more than increase the comfort of your home. They act as their own air filters, trapping dust and other particles in their many fibers. Clean your carpets and rugs weekly and they will keep working for you, improving the air quality in your home just by lying there!

        Pay attention to the side effects of poor air quality. If you start experiencing these symptoms while in your home, it may be time to take the steps mentioned above.

        To learn more about indoor air quality and the overall efficiency measures you can take to provide a safe living environment for you and your loved ones, contact us today for a free home environment. One of our energy efficiency specialists would be happy to help!

      • Is Your Attic Due For An Upgrade?

        If you think you’re among the 90% of US homes that are under-insulated,1 performing a simple insulation inspection will help you determine your insulation needs. Having the correct amount of attic insulation can help you maintain a comfortable temperature throughout your home and help save money on your energy bills.

        How to calculate the R-value of your insulation

        1. Measure the thickness of your attic insulation. The depth in inches is half of the information you need to determine your insulation’s R-value.
        2. Find out what type of insulation you have.
        3. Multiply your insulation depth by your insulation’s R-value. Each type of insulation has its own R-value per inch. Use this table to finish calculating your R-value
        Insulation typeR-value
        Fiberglass batts2.9 – 3.8
        Fiberglass loose fill2.2 – 2.9
        Cotton batts3.0 – 3.7
        Cellulose loose fill3.1 – 3.8
        Rockwool batts3.3 – 4.2
        Rockwool loose fill2.2 – 3.3

        How much insulation should you install?

        The amount of insulation recommended for your home will vary depending on a number of factors:

        Where you live—Different climates require different insulation R-values.

        Your home’s age—If your home is more than 15 years old, you likely need more insulation.

        DIY or Pro?

        Once you determine your attic is due for an upgrade, you can certainly complete this task on your own and can save on extra labor costs. However, it is hard to beat hiring an expert!

        Our energy consultants have the skills and knowledge needed to not only determine the upgrade that is right for you, but they can also identify potential problem areas such as a roof leak, mold, asbestos, etc. Insulating your attic with improper air sealing and attic ventilation can be counterproductive and possibly cause long-term havoc to your home.

        Streamline Energy Solutions is licensed and insured to provide quality installations that are guaranteed to save you energy and money. For a more holistic approach, we recommend completing an energy audit to pinpoint areas your home can benefit most.
