Energy Efficient Insulation & Air Barrier Sealing Services in Newburyport, MA
Here at Heat Loss Management, our team helps homeowners and business owners assess and address issues that cause energy inefficiency. Millions of Americans overpay for their utility cost. Wasted energy in HVAC costs us millions of dollars collectively, puts extra pressure on our energy grids, and is generally bad for the environment. High-tech HVAC systems are a great way to make a building more energy efficient, but that doesn’t matter if there are inherent issues with the construction of a building. Air leaks, bad insulation, and cracks in ductwork can all cause energy inefficiency. Our team helps provide assessments and solutions that can make your building run more effectively.
Blower Door Testing For Buildings in Newburyport, MA
A quick energy assessment, including a blower door test, can go a long way in discovering if you have air leaks in your property. A blower door test works with simple air pressure science. A room is intentionally put at a pressure differential. Naturally, when one area has pressurized air, the air will move to the place with lower pressure. If a room doesn’t have air leaks, it will maintain its higher pressure because the air cannot escape. But if the air can escape the room, the pressure will equalize. Our team can run these tests in order to effectively discover if there are leaks impacting the energy efficiency of a property.
Aeroseal Air Barrier Sealing in Newburyport, Massachusetts
Our team is an Aeroseal provider for buildings in Newburyport and the surrounding towns. We provide two different applications of Aeroseal. Aeroseal Duct Sealing works by spraying Aeroseal particles throughout the ductwork of a building. We also provide Aeroseal Building Envelope. This service uses a blower door to pressurize a room, and as the air escapes the room, it carries the Aeroseal to the cracks. Aeroseal particles then gather at the holes and cracks throughout the room and seal them up. Once they are sealed, the room is able to maintain its pressurized state, proving the efficacy of the Aeroseal.
Blown-In Insulation Services in Newburyport, MA
Blown-in insulation poses many advantages over batt insulation, especially for older buildings. Moreover, blown-in insulation can be used for retrofit projects. Blown-in insulation works in attics and crawlspaces that have strange geometry since the material is blown into the property where it solidifies. Batt insulation inherently leaves openings and gaps and cannot adequately insulate buildings that have strange shapes or odd angles. We provide a variety of blown-in insulation materials, including rock wool and cellulose insulation. For more information, please contact our team.
