"We contacted Jim Sullivan at Energy Savers after receiving a reliable recommendation from our favorite general contractor, Jeff Chyko. Energy Savers did not disappoint!! Matt and Dave first came to inspect and provide an estimate. They were very thoughtful in taking off their shoes on that rainy day, and they also wore face masks in the house (thank you). They were thorough and professional, and also personable. We quickly received the estimate from Jim and were pleasantly surprised by how reasonable it was! We were able to schedule the appointment for about four days later. Matt and Dave returned with their equipment, and did an amazing and thorough job. They hung plastic sheets from the attic access down to the floor to control any dust that could come down from the attic. They blew in fiberglass insulation after doing some repair work and rearranging existing batting in the attic. They also vacuumed up afterward! Now this is the test: We heat with wood. Yesterday we decided to let the wood stove burn out in the afternoon and go cold so we could see how much heat the house would lose overnight. When we went to bed at 10:00 p.m. it was 73 degrees in the house. When we woke up at 7:00 a.m. the next morning, it was 70 degrees!! We are so thrilled with Energy Savers, Jim, Matt and Dave. We would highly recommend them to anyone who would like to add some additional insulation and warmth (and reduce heat loss!) in their homes."

"After calling about half a dozen of other companies where no one would come out, I called 911 Plumbing after a recommendation on Facebook. I called Dylan and he was over here within an hour. He worked from 9:30 PM until 2 in the morning. His rates were great and he's really knowledgeable. I was so impressed. On a rate of 1-10, I'd give him an 11. I'm going to have him back for any regular plumbing work as well as emergency work and will refer him to all of my friends. His type of concierge service is unlike anyone else in the business."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

The life span of fiberglass insulation can be as long as 80 to 100 years, but because of changing building codes, it’s best to get your insulation checked every 10 to 15 years. Signs of degrading fiberglass insulation include bits of batts on the floor or batts detached from frames. Having optimal, healthy insulation in your home will improve its energy efficiency, lowering your monthly bills.

You don’t need to staple insulation, as your drywall and studs will hold it into place. But if you already have a staple gun and staples lying around, it can help keep the product in place and avoid any shifting. But, most experts agree it’s an unnecessary step.

If you’re adding a vapor barrier, you will need to staple that in place.

Bubble wrap is better for moving since it can be cut to size, whereas dish foam comes in precut sheets that are harder to manipulate. However, if you’re packing items like dishes, wine glasses, picture frames, or mirrors, dish foam will protect them better. Ensure you measure your box beforehand so you know what size dish foam to purchase. 

Yes! Outdoor faucet covers work by enclosing the faucet with a thick, insulating material that will keep the faucet warmer than outdoor temperatures. They need to be sealed tightly against the house to work properly, though, so be sure to tighten the rubber strap or drawstring on the insulation cover to best protect your faucets.

There are many ways to keep your house cool without central air. In fact, ductless mini-split AC systems are a solid alternative to central AC for situations when you can’t install ducts in your home. If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly cooling solution, consider using window AC units or portable air conditioners.
