Don't Wait to Insulate!

It's never wrong time to insulate your home. Insulating your home before winter months is smart because you get to avoid concerns like:

  • Cold floors

  • Drafty Windows 

  • Uneven Temperatures 

Who wants to spend another winter having to wear your slippers to walk through the kitchen for your morning coffee? Having efficient rim joist in basement insulation can drastically decrease or eliminate your cold floor problem!

Have you ever been standing by a window and notice or feel a draft coming through? That shouldn’t occur if you have proper energy efficient windows in your home. Our building science specialists trained to assess your windows and recommend the best solutions for you! Below you can See a beautiful efficient window we installed and customized for this homeowner who wanted to keep with the brown theme!

Some homeowners with inefficient Insulation and air sealing will notice uneven temperatures. Some rooms are too cold while others are too hot. There are many points in your home where cold outside air is able to leak into your home, and air you are paying to heat can easily escape. Making sure your attic is properly air sealed and insulated will make a drastic difference in the temperature in your home. 

Another positive of our treatment process is lower energy and heating bills. The more air leaking out and escaping And, the more air you were paying to heat over and over again. This is the best way to explain what we call stack effect!

 

Stack Effect 

Think of one cubic foot of air. The easiest way to do this is to picture one basketball full of air. For every basketball of heated air that escapes from the top of your home, one basketball of outside air enters from the bottom of your home. Now think of that happening over and over. Imagine all the air that you are paying to heat that is constantly escaping from your home! This happens in homes that are not air sealed and insulated efficiently. This will also happen with inefficient windows!

We can help you understand your home and why it may be uncomfortable! Weather it be old insulation, inefficient windows or doors, mold, and more, we can help!
