When a home is under-insulated, cold winter temperatures easily pass through the walls, foundation and attic of a home. Retrofit insulation can be added to exiting walls of a home through small holes and an insulation blower. The walls are then filled with new loose-fill insulation. Next, the holes are plugged up and blended back into the wall. 

Once the walls have been packed with the loose-fill insulation, drafts and cold temperatures can no longer enter the home. Retrofit insulation conserves energy, blocks pests, lowers energy payments and enhances home comfort. 

Also, a layer of insulation can be added to an attic or basement in order to keep the home warmer. Basement or crawl space insulation keeps a home warm and moisture controlled from the bottom up. Attic insulation keeps the home warmer as heat always rises, so the insulation blocks the heat from escaping the home. A properly insulated attic also prevents moisture, ice dams, attic frost and wet ceilings.

Attic condensation occurs when the attic is lacking proper ventilation. Warm air rises inside the attic which forms condensation as it comes into contact with the cold roof. Over time, attic condensation can cause mold, mildew, ceiling damage, structural damage and wood rot. 

Any condensation found within an attic should be viewed as a red flag and homeowners need to call an expert right away before further damage occurs. Comfort 1st Insulation provides a free assessment and quote for all customers. Call today and our certified trained technicians can inspect your attic and design a strategy plan to clean, remove mold, restore, insulate and properly ventilate your attic.

Pipes may freeze in winter due to lack of proper insulation, exposure to outdoor elements or being located in an unheated area. As water expands when frozen, pipes may burst causing water damage, costly repairs and the delay in the usage of utilities.

Comfort 1st Insulation’s certified trained technicians can insulate around the pipes, the surrounding areas and air seal the location to prevent drafts. Contact us today for a free assessment and quote: (833) 244-7283.

The easiest way to reduce a home’s energy costs is by signing up for a Home Energy Assessment. The energy audit is run by Comfort 1st Insulation’s certified trained technicians and is comprised of a series of diagnostic tests which evaluate combustion safety, drafts, air leakage, insulation deficient areas in the walls or ceiling and appliance safety. 

After the energy assessment, a strategy plan is designed to bring the home up to it’s optimum energy efficiency. Contact us today and sign up for a home energy assessment: (833) 244-7283.
