Sealing Your Attic and Removing Old Insulation Saves Money

Higher than expected utility bills? Moisture control problems? Hearing animals in your attic? Smelling unpleasant odors? Air quality concerns? All these can be symptoms of old insulation and leaky doors, windows, and crevices. It’s time to get some expert help.

At Parker & Sons, we have almost 50 years of experience helping homeowners solve problems just like these. We can help you too. 

  • As your home gets older, your utility bills go up. However, it may not be your ac and heating systems that are the problem. Gaps and cracks around windows and doors, as well as in the attic, may seem insignificant but can greatly increase energy bills.

  • Aging insulation loses its effectiveness with time and often becomes contaminated from rodent nests, dust, and harmful toxins such as asbestos or formaldehyde.

Insulation Removal Services

When your insulation is in tip-top shape, your ac and heating systems won’t have to work as hard to keep your house comfortable. The very first step in sealing your entire home is removing your old, aging insulation.

Common reasons for removing insulation include:

  • Old insulation hinders airflow through your entire home and attic.
  • When airflow is hindered, there will be big temperature differences between your attic and the rest of your home.
  • Older insulation is typically made of cellulose or fiberglass which are materials that hold moisture longer and can lead to issues like mold growth.
  • Attics in older homes have dirty, dusty, and contaminated insulation which leads to circulating unclean air throughout your home.

Air Sealing Services

Air sealing is the process of discovering–and then sealing–all the tiny openings, nooks, and crannies in your home that are allowing air to escape. According to the EPA, air sealing can cut heating and cooling costs by an average of 15%.

Areas that commonly need sealing include:

  • Attic access hatches, doors, and dropdown stairs
  • Windows and doors
  • Plumbing and wiring penetrations in floors, walls, and ceilings
  • Electrical outlets and switches
  • Cracks, holes, and gaps in drywall
  • Recessed light and bath fans
  • Chimney penetrations through insulated ceilings and exterior walls

Can I seal my home without replacing the insulation? Air sealing has huge advantages. However, when you seal a home that isn’t properly insulated, you’ll only reap part of the benefits. Aging insulation makes it difficult to keep your home at a comfortable temperature, regardless of whether your home is properly sealed or not.

Rene K.

Dave at Parker and Sons came to my rescue. I woke up with a rainstorm in my living room after a pipe burst upstairs. He was friendly, prompt, and made me feel so much calmer by assuring me everything would be alright. He was absolutely correct. Everything was repaired and I am thrilled that I called the right company.

Sabrina G.

Parker and Sons is a life savor. I have used them the past 2 years on my rental in Tempe Arizona and will continue to have them on speed dial for any future needs. Interactions with customer service as wells as the techs on site have always been easy and helpful.

Erin S.

Parker & Sons is amazing. When our AC went out, my first call was to our home warranty company, but they couldn't get anyone out to see us for 5 days, which is an outrageous amount of time to be without AC in Arizona! Luckily, my next call was to Parker & Sons. They were able to come out SAME DAY and get our AC back up and running. We are very happy.
