[Get In Touch](/contact) ## The Benefits of Insulation & Air Sealing: - ### Lower heating and cooling bills - ### Fewer indoor drafts - ### Healthier indoor air quality - ### More even indoor temperatures - ### Reduced noise pollution - ### Better for the environment ## How Does Insulation and Air Sealing Work? Insulation and air sealing work together to slow the movement of heat and air in and out of your home. In the winter, your insulation and air sealing acts like a thick overcoat that keeps the heat from your furnace, boiler, or heat pump inside your home. But insulation and air sealing aren’t only useful in cold weather—in the summer, they help keep outdoor summer temperatures from entering your home. Insulation and [air sealing](https://totalhomeperformance.com/service/air-sealing) are effective partners. Many common types of insulation don’t work as well when exposed to moving air, while air sealing by itself often doesn’t do much against heat that conducts through the building materials of your home. But together, these two upgrades offer a [strong layer of protection for your home](https://totalhomeperformance.com/blog/can-house-be-sealed-too-tightly), and some [insulation types](https://totalhomeperformance.com/blog/using-blown-vs-spray-foam-insulation-your-attic), like [spray foam insulation](https://totalhomeperformance.com/service/spray-foam-insulation), act as an all-in-one insulator and air sealant! ## The Best Areas in Your Home to Insulate and Air Seal There’s no blanket approach to upgrading the insulation in a home—every home is different and requires a unique, building science-based approach. This is why a [home energy audit](https://totalhomeperformance.com/service-category/energy-audits-home-performance) is so important. Through a visual inspection and using advanced building science technology like [blower doors](https://totalhomeperformance.com/service/blower-door-testing) and [infrared cameras](https://totalhomeperformance.com/service/thermal-imaging-diagnostics), the team at Total Home Performance can better understand where your home is most vulnerable to energy loss and make recommendations that will actually improve your home. These upgrades could include: - ### [Attic insulation](https://totalhomeperformance.com/service/attic-insulation) - ### [Exterior wall insulation](https://totalhomeperformance.com/service/wall-insulation) - ### [Basement insulation](https://totalhomeperformance.com/service/basement-waterproofing) - ### [Crawlspace encapsulation](https://totalhomeperformance.com/service-category/crawl-space-encapsulation) Depending on the location and the home, we also use a variety of insulation types to find the right solution for the problems you’re experiencing in your home, including spray foam insulation, and blown in fiberglass and cellulose insulation. ## Why Total Home Performance? ![leaf in house outline icon](/sites/default/files/styles/s_140/public/2023-07/group_223.png)We prioritize solving common homeowner problems like high energy bills, health issues, mold and moisture, and low indoor comfort ![award ribbon icon](https://dev-ec-thp-d9.pantheonsite.io/sites/default/files/2026-01/blue-ribbon-icon.png)We are building science trained and certified ![heart inside house outline icon](https://totalhomeperformance.com/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/2023-05/group_2802x.png)We are a truly whole home contractor that offers solutions for your entire house ![piggy bank icon](/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/2023-05/group_2812x.png)We help you qualify for incentives that other companies can’t ![Maryland state icon](/sites/default/files/2026-01/Maryland.png)We are a local, Eastern Shore company that’s been helping our friends and neighbors improve their home since 2009! ## Insulation Removal Services Insulation can be ruined or [become less effective](https://totalhomeperformance.com/blog/signs-its-time-remove-your-old-insulation) over time due to settling and sagging, exposure to humidity, moisture, or mold growth, and pest infestations. Additionally, insulation installed decades ago is likely to have not been installed to the current recommended levels. For these reasons, when upgrading the insulation in your home, it’s almost always recommended to remove all of the old insulation before installing new insulation material. This will not only allow you to properly air seal the areas, but will ensure that old left-behind insulation isn’t creating indoor air quality problems and health issues in your home. Disposing of old insulation can be hazardous and messy to do yourself—as one of the leading insulation companies in Maryland and Delaware, Total Home Performance can properly and professionally remove old insulation from your home. ## Save More with Insulation and Air Sealing Tax Credits, Rebates, and Financing Insulation and air sealing upgrades take the pressure off your heating and cooling systems to keep your home comfortable, and they can lower your monthly energy bills for years and years to come.
