Up in the attic or down in the crawlspace or basement aren’t the only places that the insulation in your home lives. Between the studs and drywall of your interior and exterior walls lies more of that fluffy stuff, aimed at keeping your indoor temperatures as stable as possible. However, over time the insulation in your existing interior walls can deteriorate, settle, or become damaged, which can cause indoor drafts, inconsistent temperatures, and unexpectedly high energy bills.

So how can you diagnose your own insulation issues, and how can you install new insulation in the existing walls of your Eastern Massachusetts home? The answer to both questions lies in a Energy Save Energy Audit from Mass Energy Experts!

Existing Interior Wall Insulation: Going to “Batt” for Your Home Comfort

The most common material used for attic insulation (and existing wall insulation) is fiberglass batt insulation. You’ve probably seen this before when you walked into the attic to get your holiday decorations, or at a construction site in your neighborhood. This fluffy pink stuff usually comes in rolls and is inserted between the panels of your walls or ceiling. 

Fiberglass batt insulation is installed during the construction process before the final drywall is installed. So, you may be curious how an insulation contractor could install additional or replacement insulation in an existing wall. The solution is loose fill insulation.

With loose fill materials like cellulose insulation (though fiberglass insulation comes in loose fill as well), a small hole is cut into the exterior siding. This is usually done in a place of easy access that can later be hidden and patched up inconspicuously. Then, the loose fill insulation is blown-in using a hose, and measured to match the optimal density of your home’s customized energy and comfort needs.

Knowing When It’s Time To Upgrade Your Insulation

As some of the insulation in your home is hidden behind your walls, it can be tough to know when that insulation is failing to keep you and your family comfortable. This is where Mass Energy Experts comes in with the No Cost Home Energy Assessment

Using specialized home performance diagnostic technology like infrared imaging, we can locate the exact areas where your home is lacking proper insulation, and recommend the right insulation material to meet your needs (like cellulose insulation in your walls, up in the attic and down in the crawlspace).
