Why Should My Home Be Insulated?The number one heat loss in any
un-insulated home is through the walls. If your home was built prior to 1970, chances are that the walls have no insulation. If you home was built in more recent years, chances are that some of your insulation has become less effective over time and there is also a good chance that your home has insufficient insulation in your attic, basement, garage or in your walls. |

Air sealing a method by which those gaps are sealed off and is one of the most cost effective measures you can take to improve your home’s comfort and energy efficiency, resulting in savings from 10% to 20% on your heating and cooling bills.
