From inadequate and uneven to R60 all over and storage area
Out with the old and in with the new! Our production team removed the old fiberglass insulation and air sealed the Washington PA attic. Air sealing is as important as the insulation. Last they blew in 17" of TrueSoft Cellulose insulation.
It was very uncomfortable and high energy bills all year long. We airsealed and blew in insulation to a R60. In return the home became more comfortable and the energy bills reduced. This customer was very happy with how fast and friendly our staff was!
