Asbestos Removal

An asbestos free home is a safe home!

Your home should be a safe environment, let’s make sure it is.

Asbestos has been around for a while but it was officially mined for in the 1800s when the industrial revolution ramped up. It was the perfect material at the time to insulate things as it could withstand high temperatures and was flame retardant. The way it was made was broadened with a wave of new techniques to combine it with other materials. As soon as this happened it grew in its rise from one industry to the next.

When was it discovered as dangerous?

Germany recoded the first the carcinogenic properties that asbestos produced way back in the 1930s. Other countries refuted this evidence and did not believe such findings but by 1960 more serious diseases were being recorded such as mesothelioma being caused by the result of exposure to asbestos. Since 1983 mining for it ceased and the use of any type of asbestos was halted. By the early 2000s asbestos was banned and now other materials of safer quality are used as a substitute. Some developing countries unfortunately still use asbestos but you won’t find it used here in any new building work.

What to do if I find it?

    UAC Energy Efficiency installed my Solar Panel system and it’s been savings ever since. I was paying a fortune in air conditioning in the summer and the cost of heating my pool was also a drain. Since installing solar technology I have a seen a massive difference in savings and this will soon pay for itself. If you are shopping for a solar installation company I more than recommend giving UAC Energy Efficiency a call.

    Having bought a new home I was having some remodeling work done. When the contractor pulled back the drywall I noticed the installation in the walls was like old news paper. My house is very old and my contractor told me if this room is like this probably all of them are the same way, that’s why it feels so cold. I called UAC Energy Efficiency and they came and gave me a full free assessment to see what I needed to do to make the place warmer. After coming up with a solution of adding blown in insulation and working with my contractor they did a fantastic job of sealing my whole house with new insulation.

    I live in a very hot and humid place so my home can feel like a sauna in the summer and I always have to have the A/C running. After my bedroom still felt very hot with the A/C on I decided to call UAC Energy Efficiency to see if they could lend a solution. They looked in my attic and saw I had the wrong type of insulation, the R-Value was off and it was too thick. They replaced that and installed a radiant barrier and an attic fan. My room feels so much cooler now and I can even drop the A/C setting down to save money. Worth the investment to sleep better.
