Ask the Energy Expert

I often get asked, "If I already have insulation in my home’s attic, is that enough for energy efficiency?" Let me guide you through the hidden gems of modern insulation. With advancements in materials and techniques over the past 20 to 30 years, you can significantly enhance your home's comfort and efficiency. Let’s explore how these innovations can make a difference, along with enticing rebates on insulation upgrades for your home.

The evolution of insulation

The evolution of insulation is quite impressive. Over the years, there’s been significant improvements in insulating materials.

• Fiberglass batt insulation now has better thermal performance.
• Spray foam insulation, once a luxury, is now accessible and creates a snug barrier.
• Blown-in insulation reaches spots that batt insulation might miss, and multi-layer systems combine different methods for the best results.

Professional installation is becoming the go-to choice, ensuring that every gap is sealed for maximum efficiency. Find one of our Participating Independent Contractors (PICs) here.
