Why Retrofit Your Home with Insulation?

Savings on Energy Bills

Insulation maintains a barrier between conditioned and unconditioned air, increases energy efficiency, minimizes carbon footprint, and puts more money in your pocket.

Prevent Further Headaches

Condensation, ice dams, cold flooring, and frozen pipes are all big issues that effective insulation eliminates.

Make Your Rooms Comfortable

One room or the entire house may experience extreme temperatures, either excessively hot or excessively cold in comparison to the rest of the house. Insulation makes your rooms comfortable.

Protect from Rodents & Infestations

Attic and wall cavities are some of the common areas of mice infestation. Removing old insulation and installing rodent-proof insulation products can solve the problem.

Prevent Environmental Damage

Ice dams, frozen pipes, and dampness are all common and stressful events at home. Insulation protects your home from these damages.

Environmental Consciousness

Insulating your home helps to reduce pollution. Because the conditioned air is retained within your home, your HVAC system is not required to run as frequently. This will help you conserve energy and lessen your environmental impact.

Types of Insulation We Retrofit CT Homes With

fiberglass batting

Fiberglass Insulation

This time-tested substance has been used for decades and is available in blown-in or batt form. Fiberglass insulation is frequently used in attics, but it can also be helpful in other spaces.
blowing in spray foam

Cellulose Insulation

A more environmentally friendly option than other insulation materials, cellulose insulation comprises up to 85% recycled materials and requires less energy to manufacture. Cellulose can be used in a variety of spots throughout your home, including the attic and walls.
Spray foam insulation

Spray Foam Insulation

Typically composed of polyurethane, spray foam insulation expands to form a dense foam upon installation. Spray foam is helpful in nooks and difficult-to-reach regions, and it can assist in decreasing air infiltration.
Mineral wool batting for noise reduction

Mineral Wool Insulation

Mineral wool is naturally fire-resistant, it is gaining popularity among homeowners. It is simple to install and provides more time to evacuate in the event of a fire.

What People Say

Every time you hear the heat kick, or the air conditioning start up again, its costing you money.

What Areas Do We Insulate in Existing Homes?

Attics
Ceilings
Rim Joists
Existing Walls
Soundproofing baths and laundry rooms
Crawl Spaces
Basements
Plumbing Insulation
Garages / Barns
Exterior walls

Signs that Your Existing Home Needs Insulation

Walls, Ceilings, and Floors Are Cold to The Touch
Energy bills are high
Water Leaks
Pipes freeze on a regular basis
Ice dams
Drafts
Snow Melt on Roof
Unwanted Noise

FAQs

Our customers report saving between 15% and 50% on their monthly energy expenses, depending on the age of the property, its structure, the thermostat settings, and their lifestyle preferences.

It depends. If you’re insulating a rim joist, an attic or a crawl space, the existing insulation must be removed to ensure appropriate spray foam insulation.

When insulating exterior walls, or around doors and windows the existing insulation may usually be left in place since the injection foam compresses it as it fills the cavity.

In the majority of circumstances, open-cell spray foam is preferable to closed-cell spray foam for use in your house.

While both types of spray foam create an air seal, the open cell has acoustic properties, does not air seal properly, and is a softer, more malleable material. The closed-cell foam prevents the air leaks in the home, is stiffer, cost more, and does not dampen sound. For commercial structures or pole barns, closed-cell spray foam is a superior solution.

The majority of houses can be insulated in a day or less, but it may take a couple of days in some cases, particularly if old insulation is being removed from a large area such as the attic.

The primary aspect affecting the cost is the size of the space to be insulated. Additional criteria include the material utilized, the thickness of the application, and the type of siding on your property.

Adding insulation not only provides a more comfortable climate in the winter and summer. It also helps prevent overworking and overtaxing your HVAC system and can effectively extend the life of those units. Adding insulation to your existing home also lowers your carbon footprint and can make your home more valuable and attractive when selling.

Adding insulation can lower your energy bills immediately, often providing homeowners with a return on their investment in the first couple of seasons.

Absolutely. If your current insulation is good, but not providing enough protection against heat transfer. A good cost-effective way to improve your home’s climate and lower your heating/cooling bills is to add insulation and air sealing.

Not necessarily. Even new homes built in the past five years do not have sufficient insulation. It’s highly encouraged to check the insulation in your attic, or request an energy audit. Insulation and air sealing should be left to professionals.
