Looking to save on your home cooling costs this summer?  Improve your home’s energy-efficiency by fixing these common attic problems!

Simple Attic Fixes:

  • Seal Any Gaps – Air leaks can let in warm, humid air during the summer.  This means moisture problems, insulation damage and high air conditioning bills.  Sealing air gaps is an important part of keeping your home at a comfortable temperature and preventing energy loss.
  • Add Insulation – Many homes lack attic insulation!  However, un-insulated walls and ceilings make it harder for your air conditioning system to keep your home cool in the summer.  This means that you system will be running longer and using more energy.  Attic insulation helps prevent these issues by keeping cool, conditioned air indoors and preventing heat gain.
  • Improve Ventilation – Proper attic ventilation will help promote a healthy living space by limiting moisture buildup – especially on humid summer days.  Homeowners should address any attic ventilation issues in order to improve their home energy efficiency.  This can include adding duct work or installing new roofing materials.

Customer Reviews

Great Team
"What a great team that spray foamed our house. They were very courteous and professional. They kept moving and accomplished the entire job in 1 day instead of 2. Fabulous!! We inspected everything and are more than satisfied. I highly recommend this company, you won't be disappointed!"

-Faith C. Southbury, CT

Excellent
"Excellent . The Estimator showed up 2 minutes before the appointed time & after a quick 20-minute survey of the exterior of the house, was able to give me a written estimate. The rest of the job was conducted in similar fashion. The installation crew showed up on time, were competant & courteous & completed job on time. When completed, I was asked to walk the job to make sure the cleanup was acceptable. Not enough "cold" time has gone by for me to comment on the reduction in heating costs but as for the work, this outfit gets my unqualified recommendation."
