Insulation & Ventilation
Insulation & Ventilation
Cut energy bills and protect your roof. Properly insulated and ventilated homes stay comfortable year-round and last longer.
Save Money & the Environment
If your home is older, you may be losing a significant amount of air through your walls. Older insulation does not meet modern standards, which allows hot or cold air to escape outside.
Imperial Building & Roofing offers the following options:
- Installation of blown-in fiberglass insulation or fiberglass blanket insulation, including wall insulation wherever it is feasible.
- Lower utility bills throughout the year by preventing air infiltration and condensation on rafters, trusses, and roofing boards.
- We recommend loose blown-in fiberglass insulation because it is lightweight and settles very little, reaching up to an R-60 thermal value that can save you roughly $500 each year.
Tax Credit
Properly balanced attic venting is essential because it helps keep your home cooler and prevents ice dams from building up. By improving your home's energy efficiency, these upgrades can also qualify you for valuable tax credits that reward you financially for making eco-friendly improvements.
