According to the Department of Energy, “Space heating and cooling account for almost half of a home’s energy use, making this one of the largest energy expenses in any home.”

As your home ages, your insulation begins to deteriorate – as do the seals around your windows, doors, and lights. Did you know that 50-70% of the energy used in your home consists of heating and cooling? By reinsulating your home, you can save money each month on your utility bill.

A properly insulated home is more comfortable, and the air will stay cleaner. Insulation and air sealing ensures that conditioned air stays inside your home. With poor insulation, your HVAC system works very hard to continuously condition air which seeps in. This air which seeps in is often very dirty and totally avoidable.

The best way to reduce your home’s carbon footprint is by reducing energy waste through increased efficiency. According the the EPA, the #1 way to reduce your energy usage in your home is to improve the building energy efficiency through better insulation. Retrofitting can allow new and existing homes to upgrade their insulation.

Have you been in your home and wake up to birds chirping or your neighbor’s dog barking outside? Maybe the weather seems louder than it should be. Insulation combats outside noises and also helps with reducing the amount of noise carried from one room to the other.
