We make your home more comfortable and less expensive to heat and cool with our building envelope improvements

Less leakage = more comfort. Sealing cracks and gaps around window openings is an important weatherization upgrade that can prevent frigid outdoor air from getting into the house during the winter.

With the visual inspection and blower door test complete, you should have a pretty good idea of how much impact leaks are having on your energy use and comfort. Now what? You’re probably wondering: “With so many leaks to plug, where do I start?” Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered. Here at Coastal Insulation, we take a simple, common-sense approach to air sealing your home.

Weatherization work focuses on the “building envelope”

A good way to understand the scope of home weatherization is to focus on the building’s skin -what building scientists call the “building envelope.”

This structural assembly typically contains wood framing (studs, plates, rafters and sheathing) as well as insulation, water-resistant membranes and finished surfaces (roofing, siding, wallboard). Windows and exterior doors are also included in the building envelope.

Most houses have too little insulation and too many air leaks

Weatherization services from Coastal Insulation:

  • Rooms become too hot or too cold at certain times of the year
  • You can feel cold winter drafts in different parts of the house
  • Worn or missing weatherstripping around an exterior door
  • High utility bills for heating and cooling
  • Recessed (“can”) lights in the ceiling directly below the attic
  • Inadequate attic insulation (less than 12 in. of fiberglass or cellulose)

Research by the U.S. Dept. of Energy tells us that many households use twice as much energy (including electricity, natural gas, propane, and fuel oil) as they should.

Much of this wasted energy is due to leaky and poorly insulated building envelopes that force HVAC systems to consume excess electricity and/or fuel. You can detect these building envelope problems by looking for any of the 6 symptoms listed to the right.

We are the local experts for quality, affordable weatherization

Weatherization problems occur because builders aren’t required to seal energy-wasting air leaks or install more than minimum levels of home insulation during construction. But this doesn’t mean you have to put up with uncomfortable rooms and high utility bills.

Coastal Insulation’s highly trained weatherization installers and technicians can transform an uncomfortable, energy-wasting house into a comfortable, energy-efficient “green” home. Using some of the best performing materials available (caulk, spray foam, different types of insulation, door sweeps, weatherstripping, gaskets and more), we will complete all the weatherization upgrades you select.
