Is your residence adequately insulated? Do you have unexplained drafts, cold floors, cold rooms? Your house, especially if it is older, may be inadequately insulated, or inadequately sealed, and making your utility bills needlessly high.

ECA can locate the problem and provide extremely cost effective solutions. You may be surprised at just how easy it is to reduce your bills.

The Problem with Many Homes

Heating and cooling account for 50 to 70% of the total energy used in the average American home!! Inadequate insulation and air leaks are the leading cause of this wasted energy!

A surprising number of American homes are inadequately sealed and insulated. Have you noticed, for example, that you have floors or entire rooms that get cold in the winter, or that are VERY warm and uncomfortable in the summer?

A poorly insulated or sealed house not only puts extra demand onto your heating and air-conditioning systems, but it can also make interior air temperatures uneven and uncomfortable throughout your home.

If your house is poorly sealed, it may be allowing interior air to escape through cracks around doors, windows, and through outlets in walls and vents in your foundation. Losing this air means that your furnace or air-conditioning has to work harder to maintain a comfortable interior temperature in your house.

Increase Your Comfort

• Maintain a uniform temperature throughout the house!

• Walls, ceilings, and floors will be warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer!

• Help to eliminate uncomfortable drafts in your home!

• Insulation can also act as a sound barrier or sound absorber, helping to keep noise levels down!
