Every type of insulation (foam, cellulose, and fiberglass) has their inherent benefits and drawbacks, and each performs differently depending on the application. At HomeComfortProgramm, we don’t specialize in one insulation. We are an experienced NY contractor. We offer our customers options and take the time to explain all of the benefits and limitations each type of insulation has. At the end of the day, we want you to be comfortable in your home, and we’ll do our best to supply you with insulation that will allow you to do so.

Retrofitting a home’s insulation simply means upgrading a home’s insulation by adding, replacing, or removing insulation. During a retrofit, we will remove small sections of siding and drill small holes into the walls. Next, we insert a small hose into the hole and fill the space. This will result in a nice insulated wall cavity.

There are certain types of insulation that are more eco-friendly than others. For example, our cellulose insulation that we use in homes all over NY is made up mostly of recycled materials

The R-value of your insulation will be determined by what type of insulation you are using. Insulations come with a predetermined R-value, so be sure to ask the experts at HomeComfortProgramm what the recommended R-values are for your project. It shouldn’t be overlooked that insulation will decrease in R-value over time as the product grows older and settles within its space.

Insulating certain areas of your home may lead to some energy savings, but to get the most out your insulation, you should insulate your entire home. 

In fact, insulation can reduce unwanted sound and can provide a more quiet and comfortable environment within your home. Insulation can effectively reduce noise that flows through the interior and exterior walls, as well as through the floors.
