Home insulation We have found that most homes have some type of insulation inadequacies, especially older homes. We install loose fill cellulose insulation in your attic as well as batt insulation to other areas of your home.
After properly air sealing and insulating, you will notice an immediate
increase in comfort as well as savings.
Air sealing Air sealing is very important by itself, but is also a must before adding any insulation. All penetrations going from conditioned space to non-conditioned space such as chimney chases, plumbing chases, recessed lighting, holes for electric and top plates must be properly sealed. Without performing this task, air that you paid to condition will freely escape through these holes, and outside air will migrate in as well. We will use caulks, foam, foam board and sheet metal to properly seal your home.
