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 Ragsdale 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.

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

Ragsdale'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

Ragsdale'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 our Ragsdale team.

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

  • Old insulation hinders airflow through your entire home and attic.

  • When airflow is hindered, there will be big temperature differences between your attic and the rest of your home.

  • Older insulation is typically made of cellulose or fiberglass which are materials that hold moisture longer and can lead to issues like mold growth.

  • Attics in older homes have dirty, dusty, and contaminated insulation which leads to circulating unclean air throughout your home.

Can I seal my home without replacing the insulation?

Air sealing has huge advantages. However, when you seal a home that isn’t properly insulated, you’ll only reap part of the benefits. Aging insulation makes it difficult to keep your home at a comfortable temperature, regardless of whether your home is properly sealed or not. 

Before we seal your home, our Ragsdale team will evaluate your insulation. We’ll make a recommendation on whether or not your home could benefit from insulation extraction and replacement, as well.
