Insulation and air-sealing are separate but complementary measures that work together to improve your home’s energy efficiency.
- Insulation helps trap heat inside your home during the winter and keep it out during the summer.
- Air-sealing involves sealing any gaps, cracks, or holes in your home’s exterior to prevent drafts and air leakage.
Think of insulation like a warm sweater for your home or apartment and air sealing as a windbreaker. Together, these two measures can significantly reduce energy usage and save you money on utility bills.
Although insulation can last for many years, it may need to be replaced if you notice any of the following signs:
- Higher than regular energy bills
- Uneven temperatures in certain areas of your home
- Visible damage to insulation
- Mold or mildew growth
- Foul odor coming from your attic or crawl space
The cost of insulating a home can vary depending on factors such as the size of your home, the type of insulation used, and labor costs. With our Mass Save partnership, you may be eligible for up to 75-100% off the cost of insulation upgrades.
Several types of insulation are available, including fiberglass, cellulose, and foam board. The best type for your home will depend on factors such as the climate you live in, your budget, and the areas that need to be insulated. During your no-cost home energy assessment, a professional will evaluate your home and recommend the most suitable type of insulation for your specific needs.
You can have your home inspected for air leaks every 2-3 years, especially if you live in an older home or notice any signs of drafts or uneven temperatures. However, regularly checking for any visible damage or signs of air leakage is always a good idea, and addressing them as soon as possible is also a good way to prevent further energy waste.
The time it takes to insulate a two-story home will depend on factors such as the size of your home, the type of insulation used, and the contractor’s experience. On average, it takes 1-2 days to insulate a two-story home. Our team will provide a more accurate estimate based on your home and insulation needs during our no-cost home energy assessment.
