Air Barrier Sealing
Heat Loss Management is an exclusive Aeroseal Envelope dealer. Aeroseal is a non-toxic, water-based sealant system used to seal homes from the inside out. The home is pressurized via a modified blower, and remote stations distribute the sealant throughout the home. The pressure forces the sealant to all the hard-to-find leaks in the home. It can be installed pre- or post-drywall and can adhere to various building materials. It seals the home in hours while standard methods can take days. Saving you thousands.

Blown in Insulation
In the construction and remodeling world, blown-in insulation has become a gold standard for contractors and homeowners. It is non-toxic, has seamless coverage to ensure a proper insulation factor throughout the home, and can be installed quickly and easily in both new construction and retrofit situations. The energy savings versus overall cost are second to none in the industry while adding additional value to your home. There are three types of blown-in insulation, each with its own special purpose and advantages.
Cellulose Insulation
The most popular blown-in insulation is cellulose. It is eco-friendly, mainly made from recycled materials treated with fire retardant. Its dense composition makes it great for filling in the cracks and eaves in a home, making it great in retrofit applications. It is the most budget-friendly option out of the three. Used mainly in attics because settling in walls can reduce the R-value over time, and it is to be used in dry areas.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass, the most commonly known insulation, is made from fine strands of glass woven into a mat. It is a durable, mold-resistant, and fire-retardant option that offers a consistent R-value and can be installed both in walls and attic during new construction and retrofit applications. This is the most versatile application and comes in slightly more expensive than cellulose.
Rockwool
Rockwool is made from basalt rock and slag and provides both insulation and soundproofing. It has a fire resistance rating of 2150°F, making it one of the most fire-resistant insulations available. It has amazing sound damping qualities and doesn't retain water, reducing mold growth. Rockwool is generally the most expensive option of the three.
Ask Us How We Can Save You Money
We take great pride in assessing each home and building, finding all the leaks with thermal imaging and then designing a plan with local rebates to seal and insulate your home to save you money in both your heating and cooling costs. By insulating and air sealing, you can make your home much more comfortable by removing the drafts and hot and cold spots in some homes. We use a combination of blown-in insulation, spray foam, and rigid foam board, just to name a few methods. All home thermal analyses are free. Give us a call to see how you can save!!
