Poor attic insulation, when paired with improper ventilation, can create damaging ice dam issues in the winter months, which is the majority of the year in this state. We can do an ice dam analysis and repair on your home if necessary, and this saves our customers thousands of dollars in costly roof repairs that are not typically covered by insurance plans. And countless property owners can confirm that prevention is a much more affordable and simpler option than repairs – particularly when structural integrity is involved.
The cutaway image below demonstrates how air should flow in a properly insulated home. Soffit vents under the roofline pull air from outside of the home; and this air comes across the roof insulation plug and up into what is termed an “air chute” – basically, a channel that runs directly under the roof’s backing board. This also allows your home to support a well-circulated atmosphere for you and your family to enjoy.
This chute enables air to flow from the exterior of the house as well as from the top of vents that release pent-up attic heat up into the atmosphere. This enables your home stay cool and insulated during the warmer temperatures of the summer months.
Century Insulation offers free energy efficiency inspections for homeowners in St. Cloud. We will come in and take a gander at the attic, walls, and the rest of your insulation and determine if there are any air leaks and, if so, what steps should be done in order for us to improve efficiency. We will check the air sealing, look for ice dam possibilities, and uncover any gaps in insulation. Furthermore, an energy efficiency inspection and upgrades from Century Insulation can be done in conjunction with an energy rebate from the energy company.
As you may know, many energy companies now provide residential rebates for homeowners in St. Cloud who upgrade their attic insulation ventilation / air sealing performance. And while this is most certainly true, rebates are only given out if the upgrades are performed by a certified and preferred insulation contractor. And the certification must come from the Building Performance Institute (BPI) and insulation installers and contractors must have proof of this certification and it has to be in good standing. Energy companies also have their own preference for contractors and at Century Insulation, we are proud to let you know that we are a preferred insulation installer for Xcel Energy and Centerpoint Energy. After we perform our air sealing and attic insulation services, your St. Cloud house will run more efficiently, you will save money on all future energy bills, and everything will come at an awesome discount to you.
