Why Should I Insulate My Home?
Our homes are a shelter from the elements, yet when cold air starts to leak into areas of your home, such as around doors, windows, your roof or attic, it will drop the temperature in your home and make it energy inefficient.
A home that is poorly insulated will allow cold air inside, and it will cause the thermostat in your home to turn your furnace on far more than it should. The more the furnace runs in your home, the more it will start costing you when it comes to your utility bills. This similar concept rings true when it comes to your air-conditioning system, whereby poor insulation will make your home warmer and this triggers the AC to keep turning on more than it should. In addition, poorly insulated homes also allow the warm air to escape from your home. Insulation in attics is one of the more common jobs that we conduct, as warm air will rise and when there is no or little insulation in your roof, attic, or ceilings the warmed air that you are already paying money for escapes through crevices and cracks in your roof. |
Feel More Comfortable In Your Home
If you have areas that are drafty in your home, where you feel it is necessary to use extra layers of clothing or blankets when inside your home, this is a tell-tale sign that cold air is flowing in and energy is leaking out.
Why should you struggle through another cold season in discomfort? You can keep your pets and family members feeling comfortable throughout the year when you insulate your home. |
Keep The Temperature Regulated In Your Home
If you have certain rooms in the home which are either warmer or colder than others, this is also an indication of insulation that is lacking which allows either heat or cold unnecessarily into your home. This has an overall effect on fuel expenses and your comfort.
Whether you happen to be one of the energy savers that care about our global resources, or you would like to curb your monthly bills, or maybe you would just like to stay cool in summer and warm in winter. Making the decision to hire a reliable and trustworthy home insulation business like Bloomington Exteriors to conduct your energy audit or/and install insulation happens to be a very wise investment that pays for itself over a short period of time. |
How Does The Energy Audit And The Blower Door Test Kit Work?
The energy efficiency audit that we perform using our Blower Door inspection process happens to be outstandingly accurate. These tests contain scientific gauges which measure the air leakage areas, temperature regulation that is poor, negative pressure, and more.
The blower-door diagnostic tool is used for determining the amount of air that is leaking out of your home every hour. Leaked air will mean that the home needs to re-cool or re-heat, which results in an increase in energy bills.
The State of Minnesota passed the latest energy efficiency code in the year 2015, that now requires blower-door testing when it comes to every new construction build for homes and for all remodeling jobs classified as major. These tests are highly effective when it comes to measuring the energy efficiency of a home, and our company is now able to perform these tests inside your home.
As one of the Minneapolis Blower Door testing companies, we participated in thorough and rigorous training held by the BPI (Building Performance Institute), and similar to every other service we provide, we are focused on being professional and precise when it comes to delivering performance that is long-term for the exterior of your home. This will provide a way for you to really enjoy your house to the fullest, along with helping you to save a significant amount on your energy bills.

What Are The Advantages Of Quality Insulation?
The shortest answer to this question is money savings, comfort, and efficiency. For example, if your furnace is currently turning on 10 to 15 times daily, imagine the amount of money you could save daily if it only started turning on 6 to 7 times a day. Imagine what you could save every month or even in a year. If you had to do the calculations on the amount you could save when you get your energy evaluation done, and then invest in high-quality insulation, along with weatherization air-sealing, we are extremely confident, that you will agree that the investment is worth it.

Where Do You Install The Insulation?
There are a number of areas that we evaluate, yet the first two are always going to be inside your walls and attic insulation. Air is prone to leaking out of thin attics and thin walls. As a leader when it comes to Minneapolis insulation businesses, we will find out what the best solution is to insulate your attic, along with any other important areas.
Over and above walls and attics, other areas that typically require insulation include: basement ceilings and walls, ductwork and ducts, crawlspaces, floors, garages, attic stairs, areas around your windows, along with other types of weatherizing methods that will safeguard your home from outdoor elements, while keeping temperature indoors regulated, which will lower your costs when it comes to cooling and heating. |

How Does Insulation Work?
Many of the materials used for insulation work by restricting or slowing down conductive heat-flow. Since the more common areas that require insulation include the attic, this is one of the better examples, of how heat is lost without the right type of insulation. Heat will rise, which means any heat generated in your home will rise up to the ceiling and into your attic, where it leaks out the attic walls and roof. With a quality R-value insulation, the loss of heat slows down significantly, which keeps the temperature in your home more regulated. This will also ensure your AC or furnace is not turning on unnecessarily and helps to save you a lot of money on your energy bills.
What Does R-Value Mean?
R-value is a reference to the R (Resistance) of the insulating materials to conductive-heat flow. As the R-value increases, the more effective the material becomes in association with insulation.
Do You Do Commercial Insulation?
Yes, our company is well-equipped to take on any type of commercial insulation job.
