Residential Insulation & Air Sealing (1 to 4 family)
Why is insulating your home important?
Today’s home energy codes are driving better energy efficiency, to a homeowner that means tighter and better insulation. To deliver customer value beyond the code requirements is what we do at SES. Quality residential insulation installation provides you with a home that is more energy efficient, quieter, healthier and ultimately decreases your overall energy costs.
3 reasons to insulate:
1. This is the BIG one……Greater energy efficiency, lower energy bills!
Energy efficiency is a very obvious value, saving homeowners money on energy bills and reducing power plant CO2 emissions for an overall lower carbon footprint. As energy bills rise, the benefits of insulating your home become more important. The average homeowner spends $2,200 per year on household energy bills, 4% of the average pre-tax income. By installing comprehensive insulation in your home, this could significantly decrease those costs.
2. Promote a healthy home with insulation.
Insulation and air sealing together are both critical components in the overall strategy to deliver a healthy home. Today’s homeowners and home buyers health consciousness grows with our society’s concentration on general health and wellness. Treating your home or business with products that are safe from harmful pollutants, allergens and chemicals contribute to lower asthma rates and general allergies.
3. Insulation standards don’t just include climate control.
While efficiency is a very important topic in the energy space, no one wants a noisy home. Evolving home preferences are making sound control more of a consideration. More insulation in the right areas of your home or business can help to mitigate the noise effects of an open concept plan or a noisier location. Insulation is an important core component of a noise control strategy.
