Description

Let’s cut the fluff—literally. If your home’s drafty in the winter and a sweatbox in the summer, odds are your insulation isn’t doing its job. In this episode, we break down R-value like a real contractor would: no jargon, no nonsense. You’ll learn how to spot the signs of under-insulation, what materials deliver the most bang for your buck, and why shoreline homes need different solutions than inland ones. Whether you live in a 1920s beach cottage or a ‘90s colonial, we’ll help you understand what your house actually needs to stay comfortable and cut those utility bills for good.


👉 Brought to you by Nealon Insulation—serving Connecticut homes since 1977.
