Insulation
Adding insulation and air sealing to your home helps reduce energy loss, lowers heating and cooling bills, and improves indoor comfort.
Properly insulating your Long Island home is one of the best ways for homeowners to save money, but many houses in Nassau and Suffolk County remain underinsulated, wasting energy.
Heat travels from hot to cold—this is one of the laws of thermodynamics. In the winter, heat inside your home is trying to escape, while in the summer, outside heat is trying to get in. Insulation helps slow the transfer of heat through the building materials of a house. Homes with poor insulation are quicker to gain and lose heat, and so are less comfortable and require running air conditioning and heating systems longer to maintain comfortable temperatures. This increases both equipment wear and energy bills.
Superior Insulation for Your Long Island, NY Home
At Home Efficiency Experts, we install a variety of insulation types and materials designed to address the specific issues in your Hempstead, Oyster Bay, or Brookhaven home, including:
Spray foam insulation
Blown in cellulose insulation
Foam board insulation
Different insulation materials can be used to insulate different areas in your Long Island home—while spray foam might be best for places where moisture is a concern, other spots might benefit more from blown in insulation. Common insulation upgrades include:
Attic insulation
Exterior wall insulation
Crawlspace insulation
Basement insulation
The Benefits of Air Sealing
Insulation works best when paired with home air sealing, which closes up small holes and gaps in your home’s exterior where air and heat can escape. Air sealing improves the effectiveness of your home’s insulation, which is why our team of insulation experts recommends having both services done at once.
