"the insulation they recommended saved me about 5000kw a year. the amount of money i am saving is far more the insulation payment on my Eversource bill. No money cost to me out of pocket and my electric bill dropped quite a bit. best move i ever did."
"Stu and his team did an excellent job. They were very professional and quickly, efficiently and cleanly put new blown insulation on the attic floor of my old house. He also explained clearly how the insulation works, the R values and benefits. Thank you Discount Insulation."
"The insulation has made a significant difference in my home. Prior to the insulation I had so many drafts and cold areas, now .y hone is much warmer and no drafts. I'm also saving on fuel cost. I'm 100% ?"
"They did a really great job. My house feels a lot cozy and warm plus a reduction on my electricity bill. They were also very professional and organized when preforming their services. I highly recommend them."
"Howard Falkow was incredibly helpful and responsive from the beginning. He walked us through the analysis of the energy leaks in the house and outlined several options to help us save on our energy bill. Rather than immediately pitch us on the most expensive option, he gave us an objective cost/benefit analysis as to which package would result in the best energy savings per cost. Howard was very responsive over email as well as on the phone and he and his staff were always friendly, professional, and very accomadating when it came to scheduling. Howard and NY Metro Insulation provide an excellent service for anyone who is looking to make their home more energy efficient. They are honest, professional, and perform high quality work (we noticed results immediately after the work was performed) and I would recommend them very highly to anyone in the area.
"Arrived as scheduled. Prepared and installed insulation. Repaired areas needed for access. Salesman mentioned heat mapping which was never done. Would like a heat map when it gets colder."
"Excellent, he was on time, explained what was going to happen. He clean up very good when he left. The building is a 3 family house with 3 tenants in the building. The apartment needed spray form on the front & back walls in the building to keep the heat in the apartment. I am going to use his services for all my tenants apartment. He did an excellent job."
Eco Green Solutions were great to deal with. They came to the home for an initial consultation and provided me with great solutions for the heat loss problem I had in the home. The salesperson provided me a clean understandable proposal with different options I could choose from depending on my budget.
When we agreed upon the scope their office scheduled an appointment with me to schedule the work. Their crew showed up on time, wore booties on their feet to keep my floors as clean as possible and did a remarkable job patching and priming the walls for painting. I wasn't home when the work was performed, but the painting contractor I had in the home at the same time commented on how professional they were and how they made his job so much easier.
As a homeowner, heating and cooling cost are real concerns. I highly recommend anyone considered with those things like I am to have Eco Green Solutions do an energy audit of their home and see where they can save.
"Joe did a great job on this, our dining room was a add on to connect the original home and the garage and had no insulation and boy in the winter it was unusable as well as the kitchen basically (the best part of the house). Joe came and drilled small holes in the attic floor that they sealed up later to allow for blowing in the insulation. And they cleaned up well. we have a 20 month old but there was nothing left over for the baby to put in her mouth. Joe is great! Our dining room is toasty and the kids can play in there year-round Plus they are were less than half of the expensive "efficiency" guys PSEG sent over. Those providers wanted to charge $10,000+ for basically the same job."
"They were honest, professional and about business. They told me we just needed some patchwork and a silver coating on my flat roof. They came with a ladder and went straight to work. I waited until we had a few rainy days before I left a review but everything worked out. Would definitely use them again."
The average U.S. homeowner pays $1,850 to insulate their home. However, the cost of insulation depends on the type, the size of your home, and who does the installation work.
The cost of foam board insulation depends on whether it's made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) or extruded polystyrene (XPS). EPS has the lower price point, usually costing between $0.25 and $0.50 per board foot, while XPS costs between $0.40 and $0.50 per board foot.
Rigid foam board insulation is one of the safest insulation materials for basement walls. The panels offer a moisture barrier to prevent mold and mildew build-up. At the same time, this material is also fire-resistant, so you don’t have to worry as much about a fire breaking out as you would with spray foam insulation.
If you’re a savvy DIYer around the house, own the basic tools, and have enough time on your hands, you can definitely install fiberglass insulation yourself. Doing the work yourself will certainly keep overall insulation costs down. However, if you’re not confident in your handy skills around the house, call in a professional.
If the outside temperature drops below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, it will take around six hours for your pipes to freeze—and they might even burst. That’s why keeping your mobile home’s temperature around 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit is necessary, even if you’re leaving it vacant for the winter. In addition, having ample skirting around the mobile home's underbelly will help keep pipes insulated during the winter.
Excluding carpet, strand-woven bamboo provides excellent underfoot heat. Laminate flooring is also good for insulation and preventing cold feet in the winter. Bamboo tends to work better in climates that have more consistent temperatures, while laminate does a better job at insulating floors in homes that experience more extreme temperature changes, such as the deciduous climates of the northeastern U.S.
