Improve the energy efficiency and comfort of your home

Leading Edge retro-fit and air sealing insulation in homes increases the R-value and lowers utility costs. Many homes have insulation that is rotting, molding or underperforming due to factors such as invasive pests (raccoons, squirrels, bats, or mice), continued exposure to harsh weather conditions, and inferior workmanship during initial installation.

Why Retro-Fit and Air Sealing?

Damaged insulation can lead to high utility bills and poor air quality, not to mention unsightly stains or odors in the house. We can clean out your old insulation and replace it with:

  • Environmentally-friendly cellulose
  • Spray foam
  • Traditional fiberglass batt

Quality insulation and air sealing directly impacts the energy efficiency and comfort you experience. Our trained experts utilize the latest installation technology to fulfill all of your home’s insulation needs. Some of our other services include:

  • Filling wall cavities
  • Re-insulating attics
  • Air-sealing rim joists

Your most Frequent Retro-Fit & Air Sealing Questions

What is retro-fit insulation?

Retrofit insulation adds insulation to existing walls, attics, or crawl spaces. It improves thermal performance, reduces energy bills, and increases comfort without major construction.

What is air sealing, and why is it important?

Air sealing closes cracks, gaps, and leaks in the building envelope. By preventing drafts and uncontrolled airflow, it enhances insulation performance and reduces heating and cooling costs.

Can I do retro-fit insulation and air sealing at the same time?

Yes, combining retrofit insulation with air sealing maximizes energy efficiency. Leading Edge’s professionals often seal air leaks first and then install insulation to ensure consistent performance.

How do retro-fit insulation and air sealing improve comfort?

These services eliminate cold spots, drafts, and uneven temperatures. By maintaining consistent indoor temperatures, they help homes and commercial buildings feel more comfortable year-round.

Are retro-fit insulation and air sealing safe and eco-friendly?

Technicians use non-toxic, environmentally friendly materials. Properly installed insulation and air sealing can reduce energy use and minimize carbon footprint.

How long does retro-fit insulation last?

Properly installed retro-fit insulation lasts for decades, typically 30–50 years, while maintaining its R-value and performance over time.

Can retro-fit insulation and air sealing reduce noise?

Both services help block sound transmission from outside and between rooms, creating a quieter, more comfortable indoor environment.

Do retro-fit insulation and air sealing help prevent moisture problems?

By sealing leaks and insulating walls, these services reduce condensation, limit mold growth, and protect building structures from moisture damage.

Are these services suitable for commercial buildings?

Retro-fit insulation and air sealing work in offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and multi-unit buildings, improving energy efficiency, comfort, and long-term operational costs.

Will retro-fit insulation and air sealing lower my energy bills?

By reducing air leaks and improving thermal performance, these services can help maintain consistent indoor temperatures and can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs.
