Basic Weatherization

The most cost-effective way to save energy is to seal up your building. If you were in a boat with holes everywhere, you wouldn't keep bailing it out. You would patch the holes. The same goes for your home. Why keep heating new air? Why not keep the warm air you've already heated inside. Our basic weatheriization involves patching up those holes with caulking, spray foam and weather stripping. If you had a blower door test done prior to the weatherization, we will run another blower door test, so we can determine how effective the weatherization measures were.

Note:

Prior to weatherization, it is highly recommended that you have a blower door test done. This will expose many holes you would never have seen.
