Our team has experience working for multiple decades on all styles of residential buildings. We can make your home or multifamily building more comfortable and energy efficienct today. It is possible to add insulation and not receive any energy savings because air can bypass right through the insulation. The air is still moving in and out of your home, taking the energy with it. In fact, adding insulation without air sealing can be detrimental to building integrity. Air sealing is the work of finding and filling many of the hidden cracks and gaps in your home.
We are Certified Consultants as well as Qualified Contractors equipped to help Wisconsin residents and businesses make choices that save energy, save money, and protect the environment. We are qualified to do energy performance testing, combustion safety testing, and comprehensive air sealing. Air sealing is the work of filling hidden gaps, cracks, and holes in the shell of the building between the interior and exterior. This may be done using caulks or foams, or we may have to build something more tailored to the issue.
Depending on the age of a building and the conditions we find during air barrier testing or repair, we will sometimes suggest insulating as another way to improve energy efficiency and occupant comfort. Although it usually does not have the same level of return on the investment, a properly insulated building will show decreases in energy cost and improve the performance of HVAC equipment. Not all insulation is created equal. As part of the process, we will help you understand the benefits of the different types of insulation available, and those that fit best for your particular project.
