Is Your Home Telling You Something?

These Are Signs Your Insulation Isn't Doing Its Job

77 million American homes built before 1980 have insufficient insulation. The signs are easy to miss — until you see your energy bill.

Soaring Energy Bills

If your heating or cooling costs seem higher than your neighbors', poor insulation is almost always the culprit. Your system is working overtime to compensate for heat that's silently escaping.

  • $300+ monthly heating bills in winter
  • Bills creeping up year after year
  • Furnace or AC running constantly

Cold Rooms & Drafts

Rooms that never seem to warm up, cold floors first thing in the morning, or that one corner of the house that's always freezing — these are textbook signs of an insulation gap.

  • Rooms that are always too hot or too cold
  • Cold drafts near windows, walls or floors
  • Uneven temperatures throughout the home

Ice Dams & Moisture Damage

Ice dams along your roofline aren't just a winter nuisance — they're a warning sign that heat is escaping through your attic and melting snow unevenly.

  • Ice dams or icicles along the eaves
  • Uneven snow melt on the roof
  • Water stains on ceilings or attic mold
Solutions By Area

Every Part of Your Home Covered

Our vetted contractors specialize in all three areas of retrofit insulation — often the biggest sources of energy loss in existing homes.

MOST POPULAR
R-49 TO R-60 SEALAttic Thermal Cap

Attic & Ceiling Insulation

The attic is the single biggest source of heat loss in most homes. A properly insulated attic keeps warmth in during winter and heat out during summer — dramatically cutting energy costs year-round.

  • Blown-in cellulose & fiberglass options
  • Spray foam for premium air-sealing
  • Eliminates ice dams and roof damage
  • Most jobs completed in half a day
COLDWARMDENSE-PACK CELLULOSECavity Fill

Wall Insulation

Up to 35% of a home's heat escapes through poorly insulated walls. Modern injection and dense-pack methods mean we can fully insulate your existing walls with minimal disruption — no full renovation required.

  • Dense-pack cellulose for existing walls
  • Injection foam — no major disruption
  • Stops drafts and cold spots permanently
  • Adds soundproofing as a bonus
DRY CONDITIONED SPACEVAPOR BARRIER + FOAMEncapsulation

Crawlspace & Under-Floor

Cold floors, damp crawlspaces, and freezing pipes in winter are all signs of an unprotected underfloor. Encapsulation and spray foam turn your crawlspace from a liability into a dry, conditioned asset.

  • Closed-cell spray foam on walls & rim joists
  • Full encapsulation with vapor barrier
  • Eliminates cold floors & frozen pipes
  • Protects against moisture & mold

WHAT HOMEOWNERS SAY

Hear From Families Just Like Yours

"I was skeptical it would make that much difference. But our heating bill went from $340 down to $195 the very first winter. The crew was in and out in one day and left the house spotless. I wish we'd done it years ago."

MK

Margaret K.

Rochester, NY · Attic Insulation

Saving $1,740/year

"Our crawlspace was a nightmare — cold floors, moisture, the whole deal. The team encapsulated it and insulated the rim joists in two days. The floors are warm now. First time in 12 years. Worth every penny, and we got 75% back through Vermont's program."

DS

Dave & Sandra H.

Burlington, VT · Crawlspace Encapsulation
