Insulating and air sealing your home is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve its energy efficiency and reduce your energy bills. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, homeowners can save an average of 15% on their heating and cooling costs by making insulation and air sealing upgrades.
New England Smart Energy Group is a long-standing, local insulation company that’s been upgrading Connecticut homes for over 15 years. We can assess your home’s insulation needs with a home energy assessment and help you qualify for insulation rebates through Energize Connecticut℠!
Contact Us To Learn MoreWhat Is Air Sealing?
Most houses are not air-tight. Many are riddled with so many gaps and cracks it’s equivalent to leaving a window wide open all year long! That wastes a lot of energy and money.
Air sealing is the process of locating and closing the gaps and cracks that allow heat and AC to leak out of your home. These openings are most commonly found around attic hatches, basement rim joists, plumbing and wire penetrations, doors and windows, and many other places in your home. Our team will find and seal them before insulating your home to maximize your energy bill savings.
