Retrofit Insulation
Retrofit insulation refers to adding insulation in any home that is already built. Retrofit insulation in older homes is the best, most cost effective measure you can take to improve your homes comfort and energy efficiency. Older homes were not built to the standards of comfort and efficiency of homes built today. In fact, chances are that if your home was built before 1980 you are in serious need of an insulation retrofit. Costs of heating and cooling a home with PG&E have increased 143% since 2001 and are certainly going to increase over time. An insulation retrofit in your older home is a wise investment that always pays for itself over time.
At Coldani Insulation & Garage Doors we upgrade older homes to current building standards every day. We often exceed present-day home efficiency in Attics, walls and floors. You don’t have to settle for a drafty, uncomfortable and inefficient home just because it was built that way. We evaluate each retrofit insulation project with you with a variety of methods to identify your homes needs and the most cost effective approach to the solution.
Did you know?
Most homes built before 1971 have no insulation in the walls and often less than 3” in the attic.
Hands On Methods
We come to every home prepared to investigate the dark, dusty and often times tight and hard to reach areas of your home. Many companies take a half-hearted look at your home and recommend a one size fits all approach. At Coldani Insulation we believe in a hands on approach.
Without investigating a home there is no way of knowing if the home needs Air Sealing, Ventilation, Conductive insulation, a radiant barrier. Worse yet, without a thorough inspection there may be other important details that need attention before insulating, such as fire hazards, ventilation and moisture management or air quality issues that should be addressed before insulation is added. Knowing what to look for is an important first step, we take the “hands on” method. It means the difference between a cookie cutter poor job and a money saving return on investment in your home.
