Energy efficiency is a major concern for homeowners looking to optimize their spending, cut utility costs, improve sustainability, and reduce their environmental impact. While investing in energy-efficient appliances, reducing unnecessary energy usage, and other common techniques are great strategies to achieve these goals, it’s important not to forget about other crucial pieces of the energy efficiency puzzle such as your attic!
Achieve optimal attic energy efficiency!
Your attic deserves just as much (if not even more!) attention as other rooms in the house when it comes to energy efficiency optimization. Even the tiniest cracks can lead to significant heat loss or drafts which leads to higher energy costs and an uncomfortable home.
Through our attic energy efficiency solutions, we cover up all the leaks in your attic. Contact us today to learn more about our sealant services or to schedule an appointment. We look forward to hearing from you.

Why do attics matter for energy efficiency?
When people think of energy-efficient homes, the attic isn’t one of the first spaces they consider. After all, attics aren’t commonly used, so why would they play an important role in all-home energy efficiency?
In reality, air is always looking for ways to escape and enter your home and attics often cause problems for homeowners who don’t take a proactive approach in this easily forgotten area of their home. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that a whopping 15% can be saved on heating and cooling expenses when homeowners properly seal sensitive areas of their homes including basements, crawlspaces, floors, and attics.
How much energy is lost through the attic?
Estimates suggest that around 40% of a home’s overall heat actually escapes through the attic. That’s an alarming number for your home’s comfort and energy bills. However, an energy inefficient attic isn’t just a problem during the colder seasons. When you’re trying to cool your home, the attic is where a lot of warmer air from outside is able to creep in and wreak havoc too.
The key to maintaining low utility costs and an energy-efficient attic is proper insulation throughout the attic. This envelope will prevent air from escaping or entering, making it easier for your HVAC system to maintain temperature control.
Energy Efficiency Process
Assessment
The process beings with a thorough examination of your attic and home. This way, we know exactly what kind of energy efficiency shortcomings are resulting in higher-than-necessary energy costs. This ensures our services are custom-tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. Our highly experienced team will check every part of your attic with a special focus on recessed lights, electrical boxes, and other typical weak points to identify any problem areas.
Plan Design
When we have all the information about your attic’s current condition, our team will get together to determine the most effective way to achieve optimal energy efficiency for your attic. This involves fixing your attic’s issues with appropriate insulation measures. Sometimes, this might mean a complete removal of outdated insulation and replacement with updated materials. Other times, it might just require a small patchwork job with some sealant. You can rest assured you’ll only be paying for what you need.
Implementation
Once we get the green light from you, we’ll start implementing the energy efficiency strategy. Our team is comprised of leading insulation experts who have access to proven strategies and industry-leading equipment which means you’ll get the best services available on the market. We work around your schedule to ensure minimal disruption to your day.
Clean Up
We don’t take off once the project is done. Our team will stick around to clean everything up. We’ll pick up the protective layers we laid down to protect your floors, we’ll pick up any loose pieces, we’ll vacuum up any leftover debris, and we’ll dispose of everything properly. Your attic will look better than we found it!
