When a company as established as Baker Brothers Plumbing, Air & Electric decides to ramp up a division, they do it intentionally. Their insulation division recently held a meeting focused on one goal: improving production, insulation removal efficiency, and overall performance on the insulation side of their business.
Like many growing service companies, they were looking for ways to work smarter — not just harder.
Later that same day, their lead insulation installer was on break scrolling through TikTok. A video from Extraction Pros — our daughter’s insulation removal business — came across his screen. The video featured the VacTrailer™ by Insulation Machines equipped with high-performance insulation removal equipment by Cool Machines.
He immediately saw the potential.
He took the video back to his boss and said, “This might be something we need to look at to increase insulation removal efficiency.” That simple moment turned into a serious conversation — and shortly after, they gave us a call.
After reviewing their production goals and daily job demands, they ordered a VacTrailer™ by Insulation Machines fully outfitted with removal equipment by Cool Machines.
VacTrailer™ Configuration for High-Production Insulation Removal
Their VacTrailer™ setup included:
• CoolVac 40
• CoverSaver
• Output Safety Deflector
• Three 60-inch hose reels
• Wye Tube
• Cool Diverter
• Rafter Tube
This configuration was designed to maximize airflow control, improve crew efficiency, and maintain consistent vacuum power under demanding attic insulation removal conditions.
On-Site Installation and Insulation Removal Training in Dallas, Texas
We traveled to Dallas, Texas to install the equipment into their VacTrailer and walk their team through proper setup, operation, safety considerations, and long-term maintenance procedures.
Our goal is always the same — not just selling insulation removal equipment, but ensuring contractors are confident and equipped to use it effectively from day one.
Attic Insulation Removal Performance: 10 Inches of Loose-Fill Fiberglass in 1 Hour 24 Minutes
The very next day, we were back on-site with their team for the VacTrailer’s™ first attic insulation removal job.
The project involved removing approximately 10 inches of loose-fill fiberglass insulation from a 2,000 square foot home in the Dallas area.
To increase production, the crew used the Wye Tube by Cool Machines to split from an 8-inch hose down to two 6-inch hoses. This allowed two technicians to vacuum in the attic simultaneously without sacrificing performance.
The results were measurable and immediate.
The entire extraction was completed in 1 hour and 24 minutes.
Equally important, they reported no noticeable loss of vacuum power while running two crew members at once. They were not competing for suction strength. The CoolVac 40 maintained consistent airflow and vacuum performance throughout the job.
For insulation contractors, this matters. When vacuum strength drops under dual operation, productivity suffers and frustration increases. In this case, the system delivered stable power, enabling both technicians to work efficiently without interruption.
Reducing Setup and Breakdown Time in Insulation Removal
Time savings did not stop when the attic was clear.
At the end of the job, the crew experienced a significant improvement in cleanup and breakdown time. With the integrated hose reel system installed in the VacTrailer™, they reduced hose packing time from their typical 30 minutes down to just 10 minutes.
That is a 20-minute savings on teardown alone.
When factored into multiple insulation removal jobs per week, the operational impact becomes substantial.
Improved extraction time.
Maintained vacuum performance with dual operators.
Faster cleanup and load-out.
These are measurable gains that directly affect labor costs, scheduling flexibility, and profitability.
Why Insulation Removal Efficiency Matters for Growing Contractors
This story is not just about equipment. It is about strategic growth.
Baker Brothers Plumbing, Air & Electric saw an opportunity to strengthen their insulation division in the competitive Dallas, Texas market. Their team evaluated options, identified a solution, and implemented it quickly. The VacTrailer provided them with a mobile, organized, high-performance insulation removal system designed for production environments.
When insulation removal becomes faster and more controlled, crews can:
• Increase daily job capacity
• Improve scheduling reliability
• Reduce crew fatigue
• Deliver cleaner, more professional results
In competitive service markets, those advantages matter.
From Video to Measurable Production Gains
It is also worth noting how this began.
Not through a trade show.
Not through cold outreach.
But through a short demonstration video seen during a break.
That moment led to a phone call, which led to installation, which led to measurable efficiency improvements within days.
It is a reminder that real-world, contractor-focused demonstration content resonates with professionals who are actively looking to improve their operations.
Considering a VacTrailer or CoolVac 40 for Your Insulation Removal Business?
We had a great time working alongside their insulation team and supporting their rollout. We look forward to seeing their VacTrailer fully wrapped with their branding and serving homeowners across Dallas and surrounding communities.
If you are evaluating how to increase insulation removal efficiency in your own operation, we would be glad to discuss VacTrailer configurations and CoolVac 40 options tailored to your production goals. Proper setup, airflow management, and training make a measurable difference.
Growth in the trades does not happen by accident. It happens when companies evaluate their processes and invest in tools that improve performance.
In this case, a meeting about “ramping up” insulation turned into a measurable upgrade in attic insulation removal efficiency — and a strong start to the next phase of their insulation division’s growth.
