WHY INSULATION?

Simply because it  is the most basic and cost effective way to lower your home's energy usage and improve the comfort level of your home. It is the most overlooked home improvement product with immediate benefits to the bottom line.

Heat flows naturally upwards, from a warm place to a cooler space. In the winter, heated air will try to flow to an unheated garage, basement or attic. Conversely, in warm months, heat will try to flow from the outdoors into the cool interior of the home. The majority of this heat transfer in homes takes place in the attic.

It is the role of insulation to prevent this unwanted circulation throughout your home. Combined with proper ventilation and a high performance radiant barrier, proper insulation helps your home maintain a comfortable, uniform temperature throughout the year with significantly less use of heating and cooling systems. As a bonus, insulation can also act as a sound absorber, to help make your home quieter.

Having insulation in the right places makes a lot of a difference in the comfort of your home.

If ducts are not properly insulated or if air leaks out of your home, energy may be wasted. However, adding insulation without first pinpointing areas of air loss may not solve energy and comfort problems. A Red Seal Energy Associate looks for these areas and more.

We know where to look and what to look for.

We know where to look, and what to look for. Our infrared camera reveals where conditioned air is leaking through your attic, walls and basement. This data tells us exactly where and how much blown fiberglass or fiberglass batts to add to improve your home’s insulation.

Attic insulation is effective.

A home that has attic insulation is a much more energy-efficient home than one that does not have any insulation. After attic insulation is properly placed, a home’s utility bills will decline. A home’s specifications and location will determine what type of attic insulation is best suited for it.

Insulation keeps you cool in SUMMER TIME AND WARM IN WINTER TIME.

Insulation keeps cool air inside during the summer the same way it keeps warm air inside during the winter. Installing additional insulation can be done at any time, but it is much better if possible to install it before the summer or winter season. Adding insulation to your home can be quick and clean. In many cases, installation of additional insulation is performed  during a single site visit.
