Just because you live in an older existing home does not mean it has to stay an energy hog. Typically you can reduce the energy consumption just by re-insulating the attics and walls.

When insulating a new house remember this point, if you hire a bad insulator your new home will have a bad life! Many problems that we deal with in exsiting homes (mold, condensation, ventilation, moisture, cold floors and rooms) all could have been avoided at the new construction phase so make sure you do it right in this phase. It will always be cheaper.
The most common way to insulate a new home is with fiberglass batts. This system is decades old technology and is not very efficient by todays standards.
Another way to insulate a new home is with spray on materials. If this is done correctly, it can be more energy efficient than standard batts. The drawback to this system is the amount of moisture that is added to the insulate can lead to mold, mildew, and rotting of your new home.
We prefer dry blow systems like the blow-in-blanket-system; it gives a higher R-value than most other systems and is not adding any moisture to your new home. The BIBS system is a custom fit to any size or shape in you home. Just look at the pictures. The other advantage to BIBS system is the super high density that it is blown to. For each cavity it is like putting 5 to 6 Batts.

Another way to make a house more comfortable, quieter, and more energy efficient, is by re-insulating the exterior walls of the home. You may think that you have to tear down walls to do this but that is not the case. In fact in most cases the work can be done through the outside whether it is a brick or siding. And when we are finished, it looks like nothing was done.
Typically in an older home you can reduce the energy consumption by properly re-insulating the attic, now when you re-insulate an attic it does not mean just blow in the insulation and your done. There is quite a bit of prep work involved in this from adding ventilation, to blocking holes in the air barrier. For more information contact us.
