Winter is coming, and in Michigan, that means snow, ice, and bone-chilling winds.
If your home isn't well-insulated, those cold temperatures can bring along a few unwanted guests: uncomfortable drafts, cold floors, ice dams, high energy bills, and just a general feeling that your home will never be warm enough.
Not exactly cozy.
At RetroFoam of Michigan, we've helped thousands of homeowners tackle these issues head-on. Foam insulation can make your home more comfortable and energy-efficient year-round -- and there's no better time to do it than before winter arrives.
Here's why it's worth it to insulate your home for winter now instead of waiting until the snow flies.
The day you first turn on the furnace is always bittersweet.
Foam insulation creates an air seal in your home's building envelope, stopping cold air from sneaking in and warm air from escaping. This means your home stays warmer longer, so your furnace won't have to kick on as early or run constantly to maintain a comfortable temperature.
Once the cold hits, contractor schedules fill up fast.
Booking your home insulation project before winter can help you secure an earlier install date and avoid waiting weeks just to get a consultation.
Trying to juggle hosting family while your house is mid-project is nobody's idea of fun.
Scheduling your insulation installation ahead of time means your home will be comfortable and your to-do list will be clear before holiday guests arrive.
We install in all kinds of weather, but heavy snow can slow things down, especially when insulating exterior walls.
Beat the rush and schedule your home insulation for winter before the flakes start flying.
Need extra storage space?
Insulating your attic with spray foam creates a conditioned space, keeping temperatures stable and giving you a safe place to store your belongings all winter long.
That chilly breeze you feel when you're sitting by the window?
That's air leakage. Retrofit exterior wall insulation seals those gaps with injection foam, stopping drafts in their tracks and keeping your home toasty.
Recurring frozen pipe issues are usually a sign of major air leaks in your crawl space or basement.
Sealing those areas with foam insulation can protect your plumbing and help you avoid mid-winter plumbing emergencies.
If you're tired of wearing thick socks just to survive your own living room, crawl space insulation can help.
Spray foam keeps cold air from seeping up through your floors so your home feels warmer from the ground up.
Energy company rebates can help offset the cost of insulation
, but many expire at the end of the year.
Schedule your home insulation project before winter to make sure you don't miss out on those savings.
Remember last winter when your furnace seemed to run non-stop?
Foam insulation keeps warm air inside, which means your furnace won't have to work nearly as hard, and you won't have to dread walking out to your mailbox.
Winter will arrive whether we're ready or not -- so make this the year you're ready.
Foam insulation can keep unwanted guests like Old Man Winter and Jack Frost outside, while keeping warmth, comfort, and energy savings inside.
