Many home walls have inadequate insulation resulting in excessive heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Adding wall insulation can significantly address this home performance challenge. However, critical installation best practices need to be followed to ensure a successful project. In particular, the traditional exterior “drill and fill” approach will not work with masonry brick or concrete walls. Use this checklist to get the significant energy savings and enhanced comfort benefits possible with quality installed masonry wall insulation.

Many home walls have inadequate insulation resulting in excessive heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Adding wall insulation can significantly address this home performance challenge. However, critical installation best practices need to be followed to ensure a successful project. Use this checklist to get the significant energy savings and enhanced comfort benefits possible with quality installed framed wall insulation.

Many home basements do not have adequate wall insulation resulting in excessive heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer along with seasonally cold surface temperatures that can compromise comfort and moisture control. Adding basement insulation can significantly address these home performance challenges. However, critical installation best practices need to be followed to ensure a successful project. Use this checklist to get the significant energy savings, enhanced comfort, and durability benefits possible with quality installed basement wall insulation.

In many homes, heating and cooling ducts are not properly sealed and insulated which can reduce utility bills up to 20%, cause uneven temperatures throughout the home, and provide a pathway for moisture, dust, pollen, and pests. Duct sealing and insulation is often one of the most cost-effective measures you can take to improve your home’s performance. However, critical installation best practices need to be followed to ensure a successful project. Use this checklist to get the significant energy savings, enhanced comfort, health, and durability benefits possible with quality installed duct sealing and insulation.

Many home have inadequate insulation and excessive holes, cracks, and missing air barriers resulting in unwanted heat loss in cold weather, heat gain in hot weather, and infiltration of moisture, dust, pollen, and pests year-round. Air sealing leaks and adding insulation between the attic and the home is one of the most cost-effective measures to improve your home’s energy performance. However, critical installation best practices need to be followed to ensure a successful project. Use this checklist to get the significant energy savings, enhanced comfort, and health benefits possible with quality installed attic air sealing and insulation.
