Insulation
Heating and cooling account for 50 to 70% of the energy used in the average American home. Inadequate insulation and air leakage are leading causes of energy waste in most homes.
Insulation:
- Saves money and our nation's limited energy resources
- Makes your house more comfortable by helping to maintain a uniform temperature throughout the house
- Makes walls, ceilings, and floors warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer
The amount of energy you conserve will depend on several factors: your local climate; the size, shape, and construction of your house; the living habits of your family; the type and efficiency of the heating and cooling systems; and the fuel you use. Once the energy savings have paid for the installation cost, energy conserved is money saved - and saving energy will be even more important as utility rates go up.
Unless your home was specially constructed for energy efficiency, you can usually reduce your energy bills by adding more insulation.
Many older homes have less insulation than homes built today, but adding insulation to a newer home may also pay for itself within a few years.

Remember adding insulation is most effective in a relatively well sealed home. Before you insulate, you should make sure that your home is properly air sealed.
Our energy audit will also help identify areas of your home that are in need of air sealing.
