INSULATE YOUR HOME FOR YEAR-ROUND PERFORMANCE!
Properly insulating your home is one of the most basic and important steps you can take to achieve year-round comfort while lowering your energy costs. Most homes can benefit from additional insulation in the attic, exterior walls, overhangs, sill boxes, or the foundation. Air sealing in conjunction with insulating, is a strategy that works to prevent energy and money from slipping through the cracks, and quickly pays for itself in reduced utility bills.
WHY INSULATE?
Insulation slows down the movement of heat to keep it where you want it. That means it keeps the heat in your home during the cold of winter, as well as, keeping the cool air in your home during the hot summer months.
Benefits include:
Greater comfort
Lower utility bills
Less pollen and dust
Fewer drafts
Less noise
Prevention of ice dams
Humidity control
WHY CELLULOSE IS THE BEST TYPE OF INSULATION
Cellulose insulation is one of the greenest products in the world. Made from a renewable natural resource which diverts waste from landfills, cellulose insulation not only limits greenhouse gas emissions during manufacturing, but also prevents waste paper from releasing environmentally harmful gases as it decomposes. If all the paper currently being put into landfills was converted to cellulose insulation, it would save approximately 7,030,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions per year.
The benefits of cellulose insulation for your home include:
HIGH R-VALUE
Loose fill cellulose insulation has an R-value of 3.75, while loose fill fiberglass is only rated at a 2.5 R-value.
SOUND CONTROL
Cellulose insulation provides very effective sound control to minimize outside noises, and prevent sounds from traveling between interior rooms.
FIRE PROTECTION
Besides saving you money, cellulose insulation also provides extremely effective fire protection capabilities.
MOLD RESISTANCE
Backed by rigorous testing, cellulose insulation meets all of the standards established by the ASTM C-739 for fungi resistance.
Our manufacturer is located in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin and has a great reputation for producing a high quality product.
AIR SEALING + INSULATION = TRUE HOME COMFORT
Air sealing works to prevent air leakage, a common dilemma that puts an additional burden on your HVAC system, and makes it more difficult and expensive to maintain comfort. The typical trouble spots include attics, exterior walls, doors, windows and recessed lights – areas where it’s easy for warm air to escape or sneak into your home. A smart combination of insulation and air sealing is the ideal prescription to combat energy waste, boost comfort and improve home performance.
