Do you know about air infiltration? It’s the biggest energy waste when it comes to home heating and it’s totally preventable. When people don’t seal with foam around wall penetrations and electrical boxes the cold just blows right past the insulation.

Most batt insulation gets installed wrong because people don’t take the time to cut it around outlet boxes, they just kind of bend it around. It’s fast and a lot easier than measuring and cutting. While it saves the “handyman” or the average big box store installers time, it costs YOU money.

No matter who you do business with for home improvement, I want you to be armed with the right information. Check out the photos for examples of insulation done correctly and incorrectly. This will help you spot a potential waste of your money while your insulation is being installed.
