The attic and exterior walls are the two largest surfaces through which your home gains and loses heat. Upgrading insulation in these areas is the single highest-impact energy efficiency improvement most homeowners can make. AI Greenhome provides comprehensive attic and wall insulation services across New York, delivering measurable comfort improvements and significant energy savings.
Heat rises — and in a poorly insulated home, it escapes directly through the attic. In summer, a hot attic radiates heat downward into your living space, forcing your air conditioner to work overtime. The Department of Energy recommends R-49 to R-60 for attics in the New York climate zone — most older homes fall far short of this target.
We don't simply add insulation on top of what's already there. Our process includes:
Homeowners typically report more even temperatures throughout the home, reduced HVAC run times, and noticeably lower energy bills — often within the first billing cycle after installation.
Exterior walls are responsible for 15–25% of a home's heat loss. Many older New York homes were built with little or no wall insulation, and even homes with original insulation often have settling, voids, or inadequate coverage. AI Greenhome offers multiple wall insulation solutions that work with your home's existing structure.
For existing finished walls, we drill small holes (typically 1.5 to 2 inches) between each stud bay, blow in dense-pack cellulose or fiberglass, and patch the holes to match the original surface. This technique achieves consistent coverage without major demolition.
Where maximum air sealing and insulation performance are required, spray foam provides the highest R-value per inch and simultaneously seals air gaps in the wall cavity.
When a home is undergoing siding replacement or major renovation, we recommend adding rigid foam board insulation over the exterior sheathing before new siding is installed. This continuous insulation layer eliminates thermal bridging through wall studs and can significantly increase the whole-wall R-value.
For most New York homeowners, attic insulation delivers the fastest payback because heat rises and the attic has the largest thermal surface area. Our free home energy assessment will identify which areas have the greatest opportunity for improvement and help you prioritize upgrades for the best return on investment.
