Insulation Installation in Greece, NY
Warmer in winter, cooler in summer, lower bills all year. Greece Insulation Pros installs attic, wall, and spray foam insulation built for the area's older homes.
Insulation for Greece's Older Homes
Does your house feel drafty in January and stuffy by mid-July? Most homes in Greece were built decades ago, when insulation standards were a fraction of what they are today. A lot of those attics hold a thin layer of old insulation that has settled and packed down over the years, and many walls have little or nothing inside them at all.
That shows up on your comfort and your bills in every season. In winter the furnace runs nonstop and the upstairs rooms still feel cold. In summer the air conditioner fights a losing battle against heat pouring in through the attic. We install attic insulation, wall insulation, and spray foam, and we handle basement and crawl space work too. The goal is simple: a house that holds its temperature so your equipment does not have to work as hard.
Every project starts with a free home energy assessment. We find where your house is actually losing energy before we quote anything, so you are paying to fix the real problem and not a guess. We serve Greece and the surrounding Monroe County area. Use the form below to tell us what you need and we will reach out.
Our Insulation Services
Three services cover most of what older Greece homes need. Start with the one that fits your problem, or book the free assessment and we will point you to the right one.
Attic Insulation
Our most requested service. New York's energy code calls for roughly R-49 in the attic, and most older Greece attics sit well below that. Adding insulation here is usually the single biggest improvement you can make to comfort and energy bills. Learn more about attic insulation.
Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam seals and insulates at the same time, which makes it a strong choice for rim joists, basements, crawl spaces, and the tricky spots where air leaks the most. If your basement or crawl space feels cold and damp, this is often the fix. Learn more about spray foam.
Wall Insulation
Many mid-century homes have bare wall cavities. We can add insulation into existing walls to cut drafts and even out the temperature from room to room. Learn more about wall insulation.
Why Greece Homes Are Hard to Heat and Cool
Why does this keep happening in this area specifically? A few things stack up.
Older housing stock. Greece grew quickly in the decades after World War II, so a large share of homes here are mid-century. They were built to the standards of their day, which usually means thin attic insulation and walls that are often empty.
The R-49 gap. We sit in climate zone 5A, where state code wants roughly R-49 of insulation in the attic. Plenty of local attics measure closer to R-19 or less once the old material has settled. That gap is where your heat escapes.
Lake-effect winters. Because Lake Ontario rarely freezes over, lake effect snow keeps coming all winter long, and the Rochester area averages more than 90 inches a year. All that cold pulls heat straight out of an under-insulated attic, and it feeds the ice dams that form along the roof edge.
Humid summers. Summers here bring humidity and several stretches in the 90s. A hot attic radiates that heat down into your bedrooms, so the air conditioner runs and runs. Good insulation is a cooling story as much as a heating one.
Air sealing. Insulation works best when the air leaks are sealed first. We look at both together, because adding insulation over a leaky attic only does half the job.
