Peak Performance Insulation, Inc. is a
locally owned company providing quality insulation services to Southern Minnesota. We are small enough to make sure the work is done right and big enough to meet your needs. By providing a blower door test with every installation, we can help you identify air leaks in your home and show you why the U.S. Department of Energy recommends you do attic air sealing and insulation first as well as give you ideas on ways you can make your home more energy efficient and comfortable.
Most homes 10 years or older need to be insulated because most were never air sealed. Also, the cellulose insulation used at that time settled, thus losing much of its R-value. If fiberglass batts were used, gaps as small as 2.5% can allow air penetration that dramatically reduces its R-value. In addition, the U.S. Department of Energy now recommends an R-value of 49-60.
