Insulation keeps your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Its performance is measured by R-value — the ability to Resist heat flow. Higher R-values mean more insulating power! Insulation works best when air is not moving through or around it, so it is very important to seal air leaks before installing insulation to ensure that you get the best performance. Sealing and insulating the "envelope" of your home — its outer walls, ceiling, windows, doors, and floors — is often the most cost effective way to improve energy efficiency and comfort and should be evaluated before installing insulation.
Remember, not all insulation is created equally! There are several common types of insulation — fiberglass (in both batt and blown forms), blown cellulose, rigid foamboard, and sprayfoam. When good decisions are made and installation is done correctly, an insulation project can greatly improve comfort and lower energy bills. Our experts will ensure that is the case.
Energy Check will figure out what insulation you have, how it's performing, and what improvements are needed to bring your home up to a level of performance that is optimal for your family's comfort and for energy efficiency. The EPA estimates that homeowners can save up to 20% on heating and cooling costs (or up to 10% on their total annual energy bill) by air-sealing and insulating.
