Ultimate-R is an exciting new insulation containment system which is installed over supply and return air ducts in attics. This system consists of a series of moisture-resistant, light-weight compartments placed around uninsulated or inadequately insulated HVAC ducts, providing a channel for a maximum amount for blown insulation around the ducts. It can potentially add up to an R-38 value of additional insulation to HVAC ducts installed in new or existing or homes or buildings. Ultimate-R is simple and quick to install, either by professionals or do-it-yourselfers. The result is reduced conductive and convective energy losses in both summer and winter. Coupled with sealing the ductwork, this process saves homeowners a substantial amount of energy and money. Users may even be eligible for tax credits or utility rebates and incentives. Ultimate-R is a patented product and process that received grant funding from the U.S. Dept. of Energy. |

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING “If ducts were properly sealed and insulated in California alone, it would save 1 gigawatt (GW) per year.” 1 GW is equal to the annual output of two power plants. - U.S. Dept. of Energy, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory |
