Heating season is upon us! Have you inspected your Air Handling Units (AHU's) for degraded open cell interior insulation?

Over time, open cell insulation becomes degraded and will break down. The result is that some of the insulation can become airborne within the air ducts and AHU. It then travels to the occupied space and is unhealthy for the inhabitants. It also fails to do the job it was installed to perform.

Our Procedure:

We can rip strip and replace your open cell insulation with closed cell insulation to help improve your indoor air quality. We will start by ripping out the old insulation and prepare the surface by grinding out all the glue and pins that hold down the old insulation. Then we install a new closed cell insulation that will not degrade over time.

Watch this quick video on the rip strip and re-insulating process:
