They feature fiberglass insulation made by CertainTeed, which are third party tested to ensure quality, thus guaranteeing the consumer the R-value they are paying for.

By buying directly from the manufacturer, Home Insulation is able to offer homeowners and builders excellent products at a fair price.

Products

There are two types of fiberglass insulation Home Insulation uses: batts and blow-in. Which type is used depends upon the situation. Walls, underfloors, and sloped ceilings are generally insulated using batted material and flat ceilings are usually insulated with blow-in insulation, although some situations may dictate differently.

CertainTeed produces batt insulation in a variety of R-values and thicknesses. The R-value is a number that indicates the resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value the better the insulation's effectiveness. In Oregon, new construction codes require R-25 underfloors, R-21 in exterior walls, R-30 in sloped ceilings and R-38 in flat ceilings. Home Insulation stocks all these products and more in their Eugene warehouse so that they are ready for most any insulation challenge.
CertainTeed fiber glass insulation is available in batts and rolls. A batt is a pre-cut piece of insulation, usually 47" or 93" long; standard widths are available for 16" and 24" on-center spacing. Rolls are available in lengths of 39' to 70'.
 

CertainTeed also produces two blow-in products that Home Insulation uses. 

The first is Insul-Safe® 4. Its main uses are for insulating flat ceilings of new home and insulating flat ceilings and walls of existing homes. Insul-Safe is the premier blow-product on the market today. It is a virgin blowing insulation meaning that there are no un-necessary binders in the product.
Insul-Safe® 4 is a superior fiber glass blown insulation that provides unique advantages over competitive products used in attic or sidewall applications, both new and retrofit. InsulSafe 4 meets all specifications for fire safety and moisture resistance. Plus, it won’t support mildew or fungus and contains nothing to provide sustenance for vermin.
OPTIMA®  is the second blow-in insulation used by Home Insulation. It is used strictly in new construction applications. Optima is used in the Blow-In-Blanket System (BIBS). A net is pneumatically stapled to the face of the wall studs and then Optima is blown into the wall cavities behind the netting. BIBS provides a higher R-value than batt insulation and will not settle over time, thus ensuring high thermal efficiency for the life of your home. Optima does not require any water or glue mixture, as do other BIBS products. It fills odd-sized cavities and leaves no voids around wires, electrical boxes or pipes. Both Insul-Safe and Optima are permanently noncombustible, noncorrosive to pipes, and won't absorb and retain moisture.OPTIMA® is the optimum insulation solution for today's modern homes and for re-insulating older homes. OPTIMA is custom-installed so that it fits snug and provides outstanding thermal and acoustical performance. OPTIMA is installed dry so there is no need to worry about moisture problems caused by the insulation. Plus, it contains no chemicals, is permanently noncombustible and will not settle or separate. 

Services

• Many older homes have inadequate attic insulation. Home Insulation recommends today's code, R-38, for attic insulation. Anything less than that can mean wasted money going right through your roof.
  
  
• Many homes built before 1975 did not have insulation installed in the exterior walls or under the floor. Un-insulated walls can cost homeowners and renters up to 12% extra on their heating bills and un-insulated floors up 30%.
  
  
• Many of the local utilities offer low interest or no interest loans to homeowners and landlords willing to increase their home's energy efficiency by adding insulation. Call Home Insulation for more details.
  
  
• Heating and cooling account for 50% to 70% of the energy used in the average American home. About 20% goes for heating water. On the other hand, lighting and appliances and everything else account for only 10% to 30% of the energy used in most homes.
  
  
• Unless your home was recently constructed with special attention to energy efficiency, adding insulation will probably reduce your utility bills. Most existing homes in the United States are not insulated as well as they should be.
  
  
• Insulating your home will typically save enough money in reduced utility bills to pay for itself within a few years, continue to save you money for as long as you own the home, and increase the resale value of your home.
