Removing Old Insulation and Sealing Your Attic Helps Save You Money

Air sealing services and insulation work together. When we remove old insulation and replace it with a more modern option, you save on energy costs. But to get maximum results, you’ll want Coolray to air seal your home so warm and cold air won’t escape.


Why Is My Home Leaking Air?

As your home gets older, you may notice your HVAC system doesn’t heat and cool quite as well as it used to. However, it may not be your HVAC system that’s the problem after all. It’s common for homes to have gaps and cracks around windows and doors, as well as in the attic or basement. Though these openings seem insignificant, they can cause air leakage which often results in higher energy bills.

The Benefits of Air Sealing Your Home

Some common benefits associated with air sealing your home include:

  • Improved comfort

  • Moisture control

  • Reduced energy costs and utility bills

  • Improved air quality

  • Your HVAC system can operate more efficiently

Coolray's Air Sealing Services

Air sealing is the process of discovering–and then sealing–all the tiny openings, nooks, and crannies in your home that are allowing air to escape. And according to the EPA, air sealing can cut heating and cooling costs by an average of 15 percent.

  • Attic access hatches, doors, and dropdown stairs

  • Windows and doors

  • Basement access points

  • Plumbing and wiring penetrations in floors, walls, and ceilings

  • Electrical outlets and switches

  • Cracks, holes, and gaps in drywall

  • Rim joists in the basement or crawl space

  • Recessed light and bath fans

  • Chimney penetrations through insulated ceilings and exterior walls

Coolray's Insulation Extraction Services

When your insulation is in tip-top shape, your heating and cooling system won’t have to work as hard to keep your house comfortable. The very first step in sealing your entire Atlanta-area home is through insulation extraction services performed by the professional insulation team at Coolray

A few reasons you may need to have the current insulation in your home extracted include:

  • Impaired Airflow: Aging insulation can impede the proper airflow throughout your entire home, including the attic. When airflow is hindered, it creates significant temperature disparities between the attic and the rest of your living spaces.

  • Moisture Retention: Older insulation materials, such as cellulose or fiberglass, tend to retain moisture for longer periods. This moisture retention can create a conducive environment for mold growth, potentially leading to health issues and structural damage if left unchecked.

  • Contaminated Insulation: Attics in older homes often accumulate dirt, dust, and contaminants over time, which can permeate the insulation. This contamination can lead to the circulation of unclean air throughout your home, affecting indoor air quality.

Can I seal my home without replacing the insulation?

Air sealing offers significant advantages in improving energy efficiency and comfort in a home. However, it is important to note that the benefits of air sealing can be limited if the home lacks proper insulation. Aging insulation, regardless of whether the home is adequately sealed or not, poses challenges in maintaining a comfortable temperature throughout the living spaces.

Insulation plays a critical role in reducing heat transfer, preventing the exchange of outdoor and indoor temperatures. When insulation becomes aged and deteriorated, it loses its ability to resist heat flow. This can lead to increased heat gain during the summer and heat loss during the winter. As a result, your heating and cooling system has to work harder to compensate for the inadequate insulation, leading to higher energy consumption and increased utility bills. Even with proper air sealing measures in place, the limited insulation effectiveness can undermine the overall energy efficiency of your home.

Before we seal your home, our team will evaluate your insulation and make a recommendation on whether or not your home could also benefit from insulation extraction and replacement.
