Retro Fit By Woodman Insulation
Before you retrofit your home, Woodman Insulation Co. of the Atlanta area advises you to have an energy audit preformed. This can be useful in many ways, but is highly recommended before you retrofit your home. What this does is:
* Pinpoint where you are using and losing electricity * Detect air leaks, check insulation levels, and gauge harmful carbon monoxide and gas in your home * Accurately predict energy use and savings * Determine the most cost-effective measures for cutting your energy costs
The first step that Woodman Insulation would do for your retrofit is to insulate your walls and ceilings. They would use either fiberglass batt or blown insulation and they would use loose-fill cellulose for insulating attics. This is a highly effective attic insulation.
The next item is to weatherstrip and caulk windows and doors. The windows and doors must be scraped, cleaned and have paint chips removed before this step is done. This is to make sure the weatherstripping or caulk holds to the surface and doesn’t let any air through.
It is crucial to have your heating system cleaned, repaired or replaced. There are different tests that can be done for this. Having your heating system functioning properly is one of the most crucial steps in the process. If your heating system isn’t functioning properly you are losing money at a rapid rate.
Woodman Insulation will put in new low-flow shower heads, fixtures and faucets to cut down on your bills. These low-flow fixtures, faucets adn shower heads, save you money by reducing your water flow without the hassel of reducing your water pressure.
Another step is to install energy efficient lighting and advise you to purchase energy efficient appliances. This saves on your electric bills. These devices that are efficient can save you tons of money over the life of the product.
In your retrofit you must repair or replace your windows and doors. This step lowers your heating bills. This step is very important when you have older windows and doors. If you do have older windows and doors you are losing alot of money through out the cold seasons.
When you retrofit your home it reduces high energy bills, mold, mildew, musty odors, eliminates damp basements and cold floors in the winter, drafty rooms, dust, moisture on windows, water leaks, peeling paint and rooms that are either too hot or too cold.
