Basement Insulation

Because so many underground levels are unfinished, homeowners often think basement insulation is unnecessary. But if you look at the science behind heat transfer, it is clear that heat moves to cooler places like basements. If not properly insulated, during the winter your heated air will move down into the basement and into the ground below. Your heating system will have to work overtime to keep up.

When we properly install basement insulation, it will help keep the heated air in and maintain the comfort of your home. It will also contribute to lower energy bills and a longer lasting heating system.

We have several different insulation types available for creating a more comfortable environment in your home. Our team can come to your house and perform an energy audit. This will help us to determine which materials or combination of materials will best seal your property and prevent thermal loss. We will also inspect the rest of your home and make recommendations on energy efficiency improvements. We can also provide you with information on state rebate programs and tax credits for making energy efficient upgrades.

In many basement insulation projects, fiberglass insulation – like rolls, batts and foam board – is a great place to start. They are easy to install in the walls because the batts are the same width as the space between joists and wall studs. This should be done only by an experienced, professional home insulation team. Because cuts will be made to the rolls to fit in specific areas, there will be small gaps between each piece. The cut must be precise to minimize energy loss.

When you choose this affordable option, we highly recommend using spray foam insulation to finish the job. The foam will fill in any of the gaps left from sizing and create a perfect seal. Using these products in conjunction will give you a highly effective and affordable basement insulation solution.
