If you want lower utility bills, a home that’s comfortable, and maximum energy efficiency, then insulation may be what you’re looking for. If you find yourself running your air conditioning at full blast during the entire summer – and still feeling warm – or find yourself blasting the heater all winter – and still feeling cool – then it’s at least time for an energy assessment from Progressive Insulation & Windows.

Your home may be in need for additional insulation for a number of reasons

There are many reasons that your insulation may not be working as well for your home as it could. One common reason is that the insulation is simply no longer in good condition. If it’s been many years since it was installed, or you see signs of aging like crumbling insulation, then it’s time to get a quote for new insulation.

Another common reason that a home is in need of replacement insulation is if the insulation in their home wasn’t installed professionally. Anyone may be able to roll out some insulation, but only the pros know how to ensure that there are no gaps and that the seams don’t allow air through. Working with the professionals at Progressive Insulation & Windows can help you avoid drafty rooms.

You may also be dealing with not enough insulation. If you find that the temperature in some rooms is vastly different than the temperature in other rooms, then you may have an uneven insulation level in your attic. If you notice that your utility bills are higher than they should be, and if you find that your HVAC system seems to be running all the time, then you may have insulation issues.

Finding the right solution to your insulation issues

Once you’ve determined that the issue is with your insulation, you’ll need to determine what type of insulation will be best for your home. Spray foam is both a sealing agent and an insulating material. It’s made from polyurethane foam and you can get it in closed-cell or open-cell insulation. It’s often used in a home on and around several areas when you need a tight insulator. You get great performance, lower bills, better energy conservation, and other benefits.

Some of the most common places to insulate include between the roof and your attic, under your floors, corners, cracks around windows, any contoured surface, basement walls, and other interior walls. Remember that this is just one insulation option – the best way to find out what will work best for your home is to get an assessment and estimate from Progressive Insulation & Windows.

Factors that affect the type of insulation you need

The insulation we’ll recommend will vary based on a number of factors, including our climate, water and moisture in your home, and the strength of your home. Some insulation can actually help make your home more structurally sound.
