Everyone loves seasonal changes, but higher energy costs are a drawback in California, where heat domes are becoming more prevalent. Carmichael is an arid region with an average temperature in the mid-90s due to its Mediterranean climate, but on rare occasions, it can climb as high as 108 degrees.
The Department of Energy estimates that up to 49% of utility bills are spent on air and heat, and costs are higher in homes and businesses with deteriorating insulation or air leaks. To avoid stressing your HVAC system and raising power bills, turn to insulation efficiency experts.
Gold Star Insulation provides superior insulation solutions to homes and businesses. Let our knowledgeable team seal your air gaps and extend the lifespan of your AC and heating system.

New Construction Insulation
If you’re starting a new residential or commercial construction project, Gold Star Insulation works with builders and contractors and will adhere to the latest municipal and state energy codes.
As part of the IBP Family of Companies, we’re a high-quality contractor due to our resources and expertise. Turn to us for the highest-quality insulating materials, the fastest blueprint turnarounds and professional-grade results.
Our new construction insulation products include:
Cellulose (Blown-In)
Ideal for residential or commercial use, it’s eco-friendly and uses about 85% recycled materials.
Denim
Environmentally friendly, this insulation uses recycled denim and provides excellent thermal efficiency.
Fiberglass (Batts or Blown-In)
Popular with builders, its tiny glass fibers decrease energy transfers in walls, attics and crawl spaces.
Spray Foam
Once applied, polyurethane spray foam expands into thick insulation. It’s perfect for filling in hard-to-reach spaces and protecting against air infiltration.
Radiant Barrier
This reflective insulation is ideal under the roof in attics. It controls heat exchange by reflecting away radiant heat.
Rigid Board
Rigid board insulation is normally made of polystyrene, polyisocyanurate or polyurethane and used for basements or external insulation.
Vinyl
Ideal for use in metal buildings, vinyl or vinyl-faced insulation improves energy efficiency. Other effective applications include multiple types of industrial and commercial properties.
Residential and Multifamily Re-Insulation
The North American Insulation Manufacturers Association estimates that about 90% of U.S. homes have inadequate insulation. Poor insulation can raise energy costs and cause air pockets, varying room temperatures and drafts.
Schedule an energy audit if you need reinsulation or retrofit services, and let us test your insulation’s thickness, R-value and type to determine if you have poor insulation.
In addition to examining ceilings and unfinished walls, we’ll check behind electrical outlet covers and wall cavities to find the best solution for your space and budget requirements.
During an insulation inspection, we’ll:
- Inspect your current insulation and make our recommendations
- Remove damaged and old insulation
- Install or replace (retrofit) your insulation
