G & S Insulating Contractors

Environmental Benefits

By better insulating your home you will save energy and reduce your portion of greenhouse gas emission that heating and cooling you home create. 80% of the carbon dioxide emissions are created from energy consumption. Home and building emissions comprise approximately 30% of those green house gasses.* That's more than the exhaust of all the automobile, aircraft and train emissions combined! Under insulated homes emit one half ton more carbon dioxide than properly insulated homes EVERY YEAR. Electricity generation produced another 30% of U.S. carbon emissions from energy consumption, a portion of which is used to heat and cool. As a result, the energy we can save by insulating has a dramatic influence on the annual fluctuations in energy related carbon dioxide emissions.

CELLULOSE

System Saves up to 35% on utility cost. Cellulose contains safe additives to repel insects, rodents, and mold. System works great in walls to complete seal cavities. Very effective when blown in attics over gypsum ceilings.

FOAM

This foam product is the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly insulation in the industry, saving 30 to 50% on energy cost.

SEALED SYSTEMS

Fibers are contained behind nylon mesh, this keeps product secure.

System works great in vaulted ceilings to completely seal cavities.

RIGID ROOF INSULATION

Seals, insulates and stops moisture in one step. System works on all types of roof/decking to improve interior comfort and reduces the high energy cost of keeping a building comfortable.

POLY- SEAL SYSTEMS / AIR SEALING

Proper sealing will drop long-term utility consumption while reducing dust, allergens, pollutes and moisture.

Air leakage and improperly installed insulation can waste 20% or more of the energy used to heat or cool a home. With effective air sealing and insulation heating and cooling system will not need to work as hard.
