Insulation & Air Sealing: Optimize Comfort & Efficiency in Historical and Modern Buildings

Welcome to Energy Conservation Services, your trusted partner in the Hudson Valley, offering expert insulation installation and air sealing services for a diverse range of buildings from historic to newly constructed homes.

Historical or Modern – Insulation Is a Must

Whether your home is an architectural treasure filled with history and charm or a modern marvel equipped with all the latest features, the principle remains the same – insulation is paramount. It’s particularly transformative in historical building retrofits, ensuring your living space retains its character while meeting today’s energy-efficiency standards.

As building science experts serving Ulster County and the Mid-Hudson Valley, we’re often approached by homeowners seeking ways to lower their energy costs and reduce drafts. Our first recommendation is to evaluate and upgrade your home’s insulation. Why? Because it has a profound impact on your home’s energy efficiency and comfort level.

Home Comfort Upgrades, Backed by Science

Being a Building Performance Institute Gold Star contractor, we are equipped to provide detailed responses to your queries about enhancing comfort in your building, and our solutions are rooted in building science. Insulation aims to curtail drafts and minimize the transfer of heat (and cold) through the structural elements of your home.

We go a step further by combining our insulation services with comprehensive air sealing, targeting the cracks and gaps in your home’s structure that allow unwanted air infiltration. Proper insulation and air sealing work hand in hand, offering comfort during both chilly winters and hot summers.

Buildings that are properly insulated will have:

• Warmer indoor temperatures in the winter
• Cooler indoor temperatures in the summer
• No more ice dams & icicles
• Virtually no insect & rodent infestations
• A reduced maintenance schedule
• No frozen pipes

Ensuring Your Comfort, Year-Round

Imagine a winter where your home’s warmth stays inside, and a summer where the cool air remains undisturbed. That’s what a well-insulated and air-sealed home feels like. Our approach prevents heat loss during frigid New York winters and blocks heat entry during hot summers, guaranteeing you consistent comfort throughout the year.

Moreover, good insulation contributes to several other benefits. These include the prevention of ice dams and icicles, mitigation of insect and rodent infestations, reduced maintenance, and protection against frozen pipes.

Tailored Insulation Solutions for Your Home

Energy Conservation Services is here to guide you in choosing the ideal insulation material for your residential or commercial building. We understand that each building is unique, especially when dealing with historical building retrofits. So we install a wide variety of insulation materials to meet the specific needs of your property.

We ensure our insulation services bring lasting home comfort and significant energy efficiency improvements.

Lower the Cost of Insulation Upgrades with the Insulation Tax Credit

Tax credits for energy efficient home improvements allow you to reduce the amount of federal taxes you owe for the year home upgrades were made. The insulation tax credit, officially called the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit, allows you to claim up to $1,200 per year for insulation and air sealing upgrades, and you can combine the tax credit with other incentives for additional savings.
