Benefits of Retrofitting Your Home’s Insulation

Many homeowners focus on updating the focal points of their home. Consider the ways upgrading your home’s insulation can benefit your home and your wallet, today and in the future.

• Lower energy bills – Updated insulation and air sealing allows your HVAC system to run more efficiently, lowering your energy bills each month.
• A friend to the environment – With updated insulation and air sealing, your conditioned air stays inside your home, allowing your HVAC system to run less. This reduces your energy use, the emissions from your home, and your environmental footprint.
• Soundproofing – Insulation helps to contain noises, from both inside and out, to create a more relaxing environment and a quieter home.

Insulation Products and Services for Every Home

We offer a variety of insulation products and services to help you create a more energy efficient home::

• Spray foam insulation: Spray foam air seals and insulates in one easy step. Sprayed as a liquid, it quickly expands into any space and hardens, creating an air barrier and insulator. It can be sprayed into open wall cavities and into attics once existing fiberglass or cellulose insulation has been removed.
• Fiberglass insulation: This commonly used, cost effective insulation option is made from recycled glass spun to create small fibers. Blow-in or loose-fill fiberglass is often sprayed in attics or densely packed into walls to insulate hard-to-reach spaces. BIBS insulation (Blow-in Blanket System) utilizes a specific installation method to apply a specially formulated loose-fill fiberglass insulation to open wall cavities.
• Cellulose insulation: Made from recycled paper, cellulose insulation is a safe, ecofriendly choice for retrofitting homes. Blown-in loose-fill cellulose is ideal for attics and densely packing into closed walls with our drill-and-fill method. It is a perfect choice as a primary insulation or a second layer over existing insulation.
• Air sealing: Insulation may not be enough. It is important to combine air sealing with your attic insulation installation to maximize your newly remodeled home’s energy efficiency.
• Blower door testing: Conducted by our BPI Certified Energy Auditors, this test determines how airtight your home is. It shows how much air enters or escapes from your home daily, identifying areas in need of air sealing.
• Energy audits: Get a clear picture of your home’s energy usage with an energy audit from our team of BPI Certified Energy Experts. Use our findings and suggestions to maximize your home’s energy efficiency during your remodeling project.
