Services
Cellulose Insulation
Cellulose insulation delivers high-performance thermal protection using recycled materials. Treated with borate for fire resistance and pest deterrence, it provides superior air sealing while maintaining environmental sustainability. Ideal for wall cavities and attics, this solution combines cost-effectiveness with net-zero benefits. Our dense-packed installation method ensures lasting effectiveness without compromising structural integrity.
Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation creates an airtight barrier that prevents energy loss and moisture intrusion. With closed-cell options offering structural reinforcement, this solution addresses complex spaces like rim joists and crawl spaces. Our application process ensures complete coverage while meeting EPA safety standards. Particularly effective for Connecticut's variable climate, it provides permanent thermal performance.
Attic Insulation
Professional attic insulation services combat temperature extremes and ice dams through R-49+ rated materials. We address access points for pests and moisture while optimizing HVAC efficiency. Our solutions reduce energy bills by 30% on average, with options for both new construction and retrofitting historic homes across Connecticut's shoreline communities.
Basement Insulation
Basement insulation solutions prevent heat loss and moisture intrusion through foundation walls and rim joists. Closed-cell spray foam creates vapor barriers while rigid insulation options protect against ground moisture. These treatments improve indoor air quality and prevent pest entry points, addressing Connecticut's seasonal humidity challenges in both finished and unfinished spaces.
Air Sealing
Comprehensive air sealing services identify and eliminate energy leaks through thermal imaging diagnostics. We target gaps around windows, doors, and structural joints using caulk, foam, and weatherstripping. This critical step enhances insulation effectiveness by up to 40%, directly reducing heating and cooling costs for Connecticut homeowners.
Questions
How do I know if my home needs more insulation?
Check for drafty rooms, uneven temperatures, visible attic joists, or high energy bills. Our free assessment identifies problem areas.
What are the main areas to insulate in Connecticut homes?
Prioritize attics (R-49 to R-60), exterior walls (R-13 to R-21), and floors/crawl spaces (R-19 to R-30) for optimal energy efficiency.
How long does insulation installation take?
Most residential projects complete in one day, with attic work taking 3-5 hours and wall installations requiring additional air sealing time.
What insulation rebates are available?
Current EnergizeCT programs offer $1.70/sq.ft for attics/walls and $0.80/sq.ft for basements, with specific eligibility requirements.
Can you install insulation in existing walls?
Yes, we use drill-and-fill methods for dense-packed cellulose without damaging plaster, preserving historic home integrity.
Is insulation tax-deductible?
A 30% federal tax credit applies to qualifying products, up to $1,200. Consult your tax professional for specific eligibility.
