Save up to 40% on your energy bill with the latest in energy-efficient, eco-friendly insulation

The technology employed in building and sustaining energy-efficient homes has advanced dramatically during the past few years.  Simultaneously, with population and resource consumption numbers at record levels, the demand for environmentally friendly, "green" building materials has increased as homeowners become more educated about the importance of energy conservation and the potential health benefits associated with "green" living.

These recent technological advances are often used in new construction, but what about existing homes?  How can today's homeowner make their home energy efficient while doing their part to ensure a better future?

It's a simple solution: contact AppleBlossom Insulators

Creating greater energy efficiencies in your home is one of the most effective and easy-to-implement eco-friendly improvements you can achieve.  AppleBlossom's "green" cellulose insulation materials are not only healthier for you and your family than standard fiberglass insulation, they are also made of recycled materials to produce less of an effect on the environment - and they simply work better!
At AppleBlossom, we're passionate about making a difference, and committed to helping provide a warm, comfortable home for all - while conserving energy and generating cost savings for the homeowner.  We guarantee our clients will see savings of 20-40% on their energy bills once they've implemented a custom solution for their home using our superior insulation products.

Why does it pay to use cellulose vs. fiberglass?

The key to AppleBlossom Insulation's affordable, environmentally sound, energy-saving solutions is our use of cellulose insulation materials.  Cellulose is made from 85% recycled newspaper, and as a hollow product, it will not conduct heat.  It was created as an acoustical product and provides exceptional sound insulation and buffering, and it is treated with non-toxic fire retardants, which increases the amount of time you and your loved ones have to escape a home in the event of a fire. 

Fiberglass is made from actual glass that is blown or spun into fibrous threads.  It is a conductor of heat and energy, and as such, can trap heat - up to 140 degrees -- inside your home, making it more difficult and expensive to cool in the spring and summer.

Additionally, by using recycled paper, cellulose insulation helps prevent the release of the greenhouse gas methane into the environment by reusing the paper products that would otherwise be sent to a landfill to decompose.

How does the process work?

The first step in creating a more energy efficient, quieter and safer home is to contact AppleBlossom Insulators to schedule an energy audit.  AppleBlossom's experts will apply negative air pressure to test for any air loss at windows, plumbing pipes, bypasses or any place where energy might seep out of your home.  This will determine which areas need shoring up, or new insulation solutions.  Leakage in an air distribution system can cause up to 50% of the climate-controlled air to escape prior to reaching your living space.  This type of leakage also pulls in mold spores, moisture and dusty air from crawl spaces and attics.

Our skilled technicians will also measure the efficiency and performance of your major appliances, including furnaces, lighting and more.  Based on the audit results, AppleBlossom's highly trained staff will design a custom energy-saving solution for your home, sealing and insulating to the Department of Energy's recommended standards.
