Purchasing an Insulation Blowing Machine from National Fiber
National Fiber offers its installers four of the top brands in Cellulose Blowing Machines, including Accu1, Cool Machines, Intec and Krendl.
But, before you buy a machine, there are a number of things to consider:
- How do you plan to transport the machine? Most installers use either a pickup truck, a trailer, or a box truck. The basic issue is how portable does your machine need to be? Some machines have wheels, some are lighter than others, and others are best mounted in a truck and not moved.
- Power Requirements: How will you power the machine? Will you typically use power off the building, or will you need a generator (10KW or larger)?
- How often will the machine be used? Is insulation a small part of your business (use the machine 1-2 times per month) or is it a focus for your business (used 3-5 times a week)?
- What type of jobs do you focus on? Larger commercial jobs? Residential retrofits? New Construction? Attic loosefill? The answers to these questions will help determine which machine is right for you.
