Attic Insulation Leads to Lower Energy Bills and A More Comfortable Home in South Range, WI

The owner of this home in South Range, WI was interested in having their skylight insulated because their home was abnormally cold in the wintertime. Looking for a solution, they reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowners. After a thorough inspection, Henry advised them that their attic was the culprit for their drafty home and a proper insulation system would solve their issue. 

Foreman Nick Woods II led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they removed all of the old rotted batting insulation from the attic. Then they air-sealed every light fixture, floorboard, and crevice with ZypFoam™ before installing 17 inches of blown-in Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation. A benefit of Tru-Soft™ cellulose is that it is treated with a borate solution as a fire retardant and pest repellent.

Now that the attic has been properly insulated, the homeowners will be more comfortable as they experience a warmer home in the winter and a cooler home in the summer. This will also result in lower energy bills for them as well.
