Andy, Brady, Patrick, Nate ... the entire Insulwise Team were more than a pleasure to work with. From consultation to clean up, the entire process was very professional, thorough and informative. We renovated our house and they insulated each floor as we completed them. Andy was there making decisions and working through the entire process. He is extremely knowledgable and treats each project individually to ensure the best result. Thank you to the Insulwise Team! We appreciate all your hard work and dedication to each job!

After taking multiple bids, I recently chose to have Insulwise install my blown in attic insulation. They did a fabulous job and I can't be happier with the results. Everything was done within a day and they cleaned up when they were done. Aside from a short period of time when they had to hammer down a few boards, they were so quiet I barely would have known they were here. I felt comfortable working with a company that had been around quite a few years and stood behind their work.

We had a terrific experience with the company. The sales rep that came to visit our home was honest and forthcoming. They worked with us on the cost. The installation group was AMAZING. They left my house cleaner than I probably had it. They recognized a few things after the estimate, we had more vents quoted than needed, and immediately made changes to the estimate. In the end, we felt immediate results from the work they did. I would highly recommend using this company for all insulation needs. Thank you for helping to make our attic better.

The experience from consultation, to estimate, to work performed was great. Insulwise employs excellent people who were friendly, professional and hard working. I feel I received good value for the money spent, that quality work was done in a timely manner. I have a 100+ year home in North Squirrel Hill that needed the attic and knee walls insulated and roof vents put in. I had detailed explanations given to me of work that needed to be performed, and afterwards a tour of what was done. Many thanks!

I’ve been around for a while. This company took time to tell me what they were going to do and let me look when they were working, let me ask questions and explaining their process. I’ve never have written a review, but I had to with Insulwise. They were polite, courteous and professional! Covering everything that needed to be covered and cleaning as they went! I recommend Insulwise to everyone! They came in and did exactly what was explained what they would do! No surprises!!! I give these guys an A+. Our house is so comfortable!!! I recommend them over any other company!

The process from start to finish was pleasant, everyone who works there are great to deal with, and of course the most important thing is they will get the job done for you, and they will go above and beyond to do it correctly. I have nothing left to say but thank you for all your work, and to thank each one I've worked with, starting with Erik, Andy, Derek, Brian, Bill, Susan and Dian.

I can not say enough about how amazing Insulwise was from their first visit to the finished project. They were very professional and friendly. You could tell that they take great pride in their work and were very respectful to my house. My house is over 120 years old and has no insulation whatsoever. They came in and day one and outlined and showed me everything they could provide and explained what each thing they would do. I was able to understand everything and very happy to know the product they use is better that all other companies out there. Also, their product does not contain any harmful chemicals that will harm myself or family and that meant the most to me. During the installation I was able to see everything they were doing and it was a pleasure to stand side by side with the workers whom were extremely friendly and informative. I will have them back as soon as Im ready to tackle my next project because I still have areas in my house that still need insulation. This job was for my entire attic and third floor. I am extremely happy with the job they did and highly recommend you reaching out to see what they can offer you for your home. The price was reasonable knowing that I was getting a product far superior than anything else out there. My in laws have also used them and the work there was just as good so I know that the job they did for me was not just a one time thing. You can tell they all really do care about doing an A+ job. Thank you Andy H. and team for the amazing work.

After completing the inspection and energy audit, I was given an itemized quote to improve the energy efficiency of my home by; 1) Sealing air leaks in the ceiling and walls that lead to my attic as well as adding insulation in the attic to equal R48. 2.) Deep Cleaning my furnace air duct system and sealing it with the patented Aeroseal process. My duct leakage started at 212 CFM and was reduced to 10 CFM, which will lead to significant energy savings and an increase in indoor air quality. All of the technicians that were sent to my home were courteous and professional. I would highly recommend Insulwise to anyone!

We could not have asked for a more professional contractor to address our longstanding attic issues. Company president Andy ( who did much of the work himself) and his two-man crew were prompt, friendly, neat and efficient. The Insulwise team kept us well-informed of progress during the course of the 3-day job. In the end, the job was completed exactly as set forth in the statement of work. I wholeheartedly recommend Insulwise to anyone needing to deal with attic issues.

I've used another, high profile, insulation company before to do walls and the attic in my old house and didn't notice a single difference. I understand the benefits of insulation if done properly and wanted it done right in the house we recently moved into. Andy and his team were by far the most knowledgeable and professional company that I talked to. The understand the most up-to-date techniques of insulation and that it is not just blowing a bunch of loose fiber around and expecting your house to be warm in the winter and cold in the summer. I would highly recommend using Insulwise for your insulation needs.

Our Insulwise experienced started with an extremely in-depth and informative thermal efficiency study of our home which highlighted our heating and cooling losses and estimated savings obtainable to us. This was also complimentary and carried out by a friendly and very knowledgeable representative at a time that suited us. The work crew arrived within 2 weeks to insulate our knee-wall loft space, hatch door and install roof ventilation. The team were again friendly, professional and all work was of great quality. Our home was left extremely clean. In the few weeks since this work we have seen a noticeable decrease in furnace usage on our smart thermostat and increased warmth upstairs.

From the moment I first enquired about having an audit of home done, every contact point was superb, from the front desk to our assessor. They are knowledgeable, understanding, courteous, friendly people who really know what they are talking about. I feel comfortable as they take their time and explain everything and are realistic and anything BUT pushy. I have already recommended them to my family in the area.

Two parts: The Insulwise Crew and the Cleaning and Aeroseal The Crew: Awesome! Bob and Billy arrived early (a good thing), impressive given traffic, explained what they were going to do as we walked the house and we came up with plans of what needed covered/moved. The head tech was an experienced pro who knew what he was doing and what he was talking about, he answered all my questions well. His assistant was a hard worker, learning the sealing process, and they were both very attentive to detail and making sure everything was prepared and then cleaned and sealed correctly, the first time. They cleaned up beautifully. So the services was great. Cleaning and Aeroseal: Our house is a standard forced air ducted HVAC with a newer variable fan and multistage heat. The month before the service we set our temperature on the first floor at 71. The second floor was 66 and the basement was 78. After the service our basement is 69, first floor is 71 and 2nd floor is 70. My family all noted that our allergy symptoms are much better. Huge improvement.

INSULWISE UPDATED MY INSULATION AND IMPROVED MY HEATING AND AC EFFICIENCY IN MY 40 YEAR OLD HOUSE THIS PAST AUGUST. I CHOSE INSULWISE BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO PINPOINT THE EXACT LOCATION IN MY HOUSE THAT NEEDED ADDED INSULATION THEREBY ELIMINATING AREAS OF MY HOUSE THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MORE INSULATION. THIS FEATURE SAVED ME MONEY. INSULWISE ALSO WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY LOCATIONS IN MY DUCT WORK THAT NEEDED TO BE SEALED INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY OF MY FORCED AIR HEATING SYSTEM.. ALREADY NOTICE THE ADDED COMFORT ON THESE FROSTY OCTOBER MORNINGS. ALL OF THIS WORK WAS COMPLETED IN LESS THAN A DAY. WORKERS WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND CLEANED ALL WORK AREAS AFTER COMPLETION OF THE JOB. I HAVE ADDED TO THE VALUE OF MY HOUSE WHILE ALSO INCREASING THE COMFORT LEVEL OF MY HOME MARTIN S.

For the past six months, I had been thinking about insulation for my older home since the heating and cooling bills continued to escalate. I heard the INSULWISE advertisement on the radio several times and finally in early October 2019 I gave them a call. They immediately set up a date to check the insulation in my attic and crawl space. Brady arrived promptly at the agreed time and spent a great deal of time checking the space and taking pictures. He advised that my insulation was outdated and in very bad condition. Brady then explained the types of insulation available, the pros and cons, and his recommendation for cellulose. This insulation was tight, more dense and compact—it would seal out the cold air. I felt the quote for the installation was reasonable and an install date was set for the following week. The installation was done efficiently and professionally. The installers did a great job of cleaning up! No one would have suspected that I had workers in my house for most of the day! Brady even followed up with me the following day to address any questions or concerns that I might have. I would highly recommend INSULWISE if you have an insulation project that needs addressed. My project went smoothly from beginning to end. All the employees that I spoke to and worked with were top notch! Since the temperature has dropped in the last few weeks, my house has been warmer and much more comfortable. I am anticipating lower utility bills this winter! Thank you INSULWISE!

I chose INSULWISE because they used advanced technology to determine the specific areas of my forty year old home that required additional insulation improvements. This avoided doing unnecessary work and expense. INSULWISE was able to identify and seal locations in my duct work which significantly increased the efficiency of my forced air heating system. The workers were efficient, cleaned the work areas when finished and completed the project in less then a day. I have already noticed the difference on these frosty October nights with my furnace running less. In the long run I will save on heating bills while adding more comfort in my home. WIN WIN for me.

Andy and his crew were excellent. They were efficient and thorough in the work that they did. They went far beyond what was expected and helped to fix things that they noticed that were not mentioned at first, keeping the quoted price the same. They called before they arrived, they were respectful of privacy and were most courteous as well as being great at what they did. It has not yet been overly cold so it is hard to tell how the house will be with sub freezing weather but I already notice a difference in the attic rooms with 40 degree nights.
