Traditional Insulation Vs. Air Seal and Blown-in Insulation

Traditional Insulation

Air Seal & Blown -In Insulation

Installation Process

Traditional Insulation

  • Adds a layer of loose-fill insulation material to improve your home’s thermal barrier.
  • Quick and straightforward process with no additional sealing of cracks or gaps.
  • Typically blown in over existing insulation, which may contain potential allergens, mold, dust mites, and signs of rodent activity.

Air Seal & Blown -In Insulation

  • We remove all existing old insulation to eliminate contaminants such as dust, mold, allergens, rodent droppings, and debris that could compromise your home’s air quality.
  • Removing old insulation also allows us to address hidden air leaks, cracks, and other issues that contribute to energy loss and discomfort.
  • Seals cracks, gaps, and other air leakage points in the attic before adding insulation.
  • Ensures a comprehensive thermal barrier for better performance and durability.
  • Includes a FREE Blower Door Test (valued at $450) to identify and address air leaks.

Air Leakage

Traditional Insulation

May allow drafts and some air exchange, reducing energy efciency.

Air Seal & Blown -In Insulation

Minimizes drafts, reduces allergens, and enhances indoor air quality for a healthier home.

Rodent & Pest Reduction

Traditional Insulation

Gaps and air leaks may allow entry points for rodents and pests.

Air Seal & Blown -In Insulation

Seals cracks and openings, reducing the likelihood of rodents and pests entering your attic.

Insulation Cost

Traditional Insulation

Lower initial investment, but energy savings are limited due to potential air leakage.

Air Seal & Blown -In Insulation

The moderate upfront investment is eligible for instant rebates and delivers significantly higher energy savings over time.

Energy Efficiency

Traditional Insulation

  • Reduces heat transfer but does not address air infiltration.
  • Commonly used in retrofitting or basic upgrades.

Air Seal & Blown -In Insulation

  • Superior energy performance by addressing both heat loss and air leaks.
  • Reduces energy bills and your carbon footprint over time.
