Let’s Compare Injection Foam vs Cellulose Insulation  Injection foam and dense-pack cellulose are both used to insulate existing wall cavities, but they behave very differently. Injection foam expands inside the wall as it cures, while dense-pack cellulose is blown into the cavity as tightly packed fiber insulation. In many older homes with plaster walls, dense-pack […]

Uneven room temperatures are usually caused by heat loss, not the heating system itself.Warm air escapes through poorly insulated or leaky areas of the home, especially the attic, making some rooms colder than others. Addressing insulation gaps and air leaks helps balance temperatures and improve comfort. You’re not imagining it. One room feels comfortable, while

Do you find yourself asking, why is my house still cold even with the heat on? If your house still feels cold even though the heat is running, the most common reasons are heat escaping through poor insulation, air leaks pulling cold air inside, or uneven insulation throughout the home. In many cases, the heating

Why are heating costs rising this winter?Heating costs are expected to rise this winter due to higher fuel prices, increased delivery charges, and colder seasonal demand — especially in older Northeast homes that lose heat through attics, air leaks, and poorly insulated spaces. The good news: while homeowners can’t control energy prices, they can control

What Is Air Sealing? This is how air sealing works. Air sealing stops the invisible air leaks that let warm air escape and cold air rush in.Even high-quality insulation can’t work effectively if air is freely moving through gaps, cracks, and hidden openings. That’s why air sealing is a core part of weatherization—and one of

Wondering why your winter heating bill keeps going up? Heating bills rise in winter because your home is losing heat faster than your heating system can replace it. The biggest causes are poor attic insulation, hidden air leaks, drafty windows, and heat escaping through ceilings, floors, and walls. Weatherization—adding insulation and sealing leaks—is the most
