Let RetroFit Insulation, Inc. in MA and RI show you how adding insulation is one of the most important, home improvements you can make. Although it's invisible, insulation can add value and comfort to your house, even if yours is an older home.

If your home was built before the mid-1970's, it may not have any insulation. Used to reduce heat transfer, insulation is a non-structural material that can make your new, or older home, or place of business more comfortable in a variety of ways, while reducing your energy costs.

There are many reasons to insulate your MA or RI home
with quality RetroFit Insulation:

  • save money on energy costs
  • higher R-value
  • more comfort in any weather
  • a sound proof, quieter home
  • healthier air quality
  • environmentally safe
  • easy to install on older homes
  • increased resale value
  • water repellant
  • highly fire resistant
  • non corrosive
  • insect and rodent resistant
  • non toxic

How will RetroFit Insulation help make your RI home more comfortable?

RetroFit Insulation is like adding an extra blanket to your home. Insulation traps an unmoving layer of air next to a heat source, reducing heat transfer and increasing comfort. This means that RetroFit Insulation will keep you warmer in winter, and cooler in summer for less.

If your home was built before the mid-1970's, it may not have any insulation. Low amounts of insulation, plus gaps and voids in the insulation can give paths for heat and air to easily enter into, or escape out of a home. Increasing insulation along with air reduces the exchange of heat and air, and creates a more consistently comfortable atmosphere throughout a house.

Easy to install RetroFit Insulation in older southern New England homes

It's easy to RetroFit insulate an older home, even without remodeling. RetroFit Foam insulation can be installed from either the inside or the outside of your home depending on your requirements. It doesn't matter if your home is sided with shingle, clapboard, brick, stucco, or even stone. RetroFit Insulation can install quality insulation quickly and efficiently in your Rhode Island home.

Increased energy efficiency means lower fuel costs

R-value measures the relative efficiency that insulation reduces this exchange of heat, with R representing insulation's resistance to heat flow. R-value varies depending on the type of insulating material. The higher the R-value of your building, the lower your energy consumption.

An average home spends up to 70 percent of its energy consumption on heating and cooling, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Higher home R-values translate into greater efficiency as well as comfort. In these times of rising energy prices, RetroFit Insulation will save you money on your fuel bills, and eventually pay for itself in decreased energy use and therefore, costs.

RetroFit Foam insulation is superior to other insulation in terms of R-value, and for other reasons as well. RetroFit Insulation, Inc. can install RetroFit Foam insulation in almost any home. RetroFit Foam can save you up to 50% on your energy bills, especially in older homes that have little to no insulation now. RetroFit Foam can seal your home from outside cold and rid it from drafts by flowing into nooks and crannies.

Brick Veneer / Masonry Insulation

Brick Veneer / Masonry is less costly than rigid board insulation, no cutting and fitting, less labor and time, less infiltration than with board type insulation. Unlike rigid board insulations that are labor intensive and expensive, RetroFit Foam Insulation is foamed in place at 15-foot height intervals after the masonry is up. The hose is dropped to the bottom of the cavity and withdrawn as the cavity fills, flowing around wall ties and other obstructions, leaving no voids.
