Insulation Information for Homeowners

Did you know that 90 percent of U.S. homes are estimated to be under-insulated¹? So, your home is likely one of them. Many homes have been built without enough insulation. Our expertly trained staff uses the latest technology to help diagnose your home’s energy consumption problems. From in-home estimates to full home energy audits, we have the knowledge and the tools to help you achieve a healthier, more comfortable and energy efficient home. When you upgrade your insulation, you can save energy. This helps to lower your heating and cooling costs. Plus, you can be cooler during hot summer days and warmer during cold winter nights.

Reinsulating for Comfort and Consistency

Today’s insulation is vastly improved from insulation installed a few decades ago. The older style is still hiding in many walls and is ready to be cleaned out and upgraded. At ABS-MD, we can locate problem areas, remove deteriorated insulation and reinsulate with new, innovative product manufactured to last the life of your house. Just need an added layer or two? We can do that too — leaving you with a higher R-value and a more consistent comfort level.

Think doors and windows are at the top of your heat’s escape plan? Think again! Walls, ceilings, floors and ducts can account for 90% of heat loss if not properly insulated.

Protect Your Crawlspace

ABS-MD is the area’s expert when it comes to crawlspace insulation and encapsulation. Protecting your crawlspace is a key investment in your home. An under-insulated crawlspace affects the entire home; the result is inconsistent indoor temperatures, colder floors and higher energy bills. Because air from the crawlspace flows throughout your home, any moisture, humidity or allergens spread into the rest of the house. If you suspect your crawlspace or insulation may be an issue, we will assess it and recommend a solution to ensure an overall healthier, more efficient space.
