Insulation and air sealing create a protective barrier between the living areas of your home and the outside world. They help keep indoor temperatures consistent and prevent heat and air conditioning from escaping.
Many people think of insulation as a winter benefit, but actually, insulation works year-round. In the summer months, it keeps the hot weather out of your home and takes the stress off your AC.
What Types of Insulation Do We Install?
Sanfilippo Solutions works with many different insulation types to find a customized solution for your home. Depending on the specific issues you’re experiencing, we may use some of the following insulation materials:
- Fiberglass: A type of insulation made from tiny glass fibers, known for its affordability and ease of installation.
- Cellulose: An eco-friendly insulation made from recycled paper products, offering excellent soundproofing and fire resistance.
- Closed-Cell Spray Foam: A versatile and highly effective insulation that expands on application, providing an airtight seal and superior energy efficiency.
Where Does My Home Need Insulation?
Every home is different, and our team does not take a one-size-fits-all approach to energy efficiency upgrades. The first step to any insulation and air sealing project is to conduct an energy assessment, where a member of the Sanfilippo team will come out to evaluate your home. Our thorough evaluation process helps us find the areas of your home that need attention. This can include:
- Attics
- Walls
- Basements
- Crawl Spaces
At the end of the day, our number one goal is to improve your home and to only do the work we think will most benefit you. We will always put our local reputation over potential profits, and work hard to take the time not just to listen to the problems you’re experiencing in your home but to explain why and how the work we’re doing will improve your house!
