Energy Services in Staten Island

Why Staten Island Homes Need Professional Insulation

Staten Island has more single-family detached homes than any other NYC borough. These homes have four exposed walls, a full attic, and typically a basement or crawl space, meaning more surface area for energy loss than attached row houses in other boroughs. The good news is that this also means more potential for energy savings.

Many Staten Island homes were built in the 1950s-1980s with minimal insulation that has settled or degraded over time. Even homes from the 1990s and 2000s often have less insulation than current building codes require. Professional insulation upgrades make these homes significantly more comfortable and energy-efficient.

Common Home Types in Staten Island and Their Energy Challenges

Colonial and Cape Cod Homes (Tottenville, Great Kills, Eltingville)

Staten Island’s South Shore has thousands of colonial and Cape Cod style homes. These homes typically have uninsulated or under-insulated attics, empty wall cavities, and unfinished basements that waste energy. We insulate all four walls, the attic to R-49 standards, and the basement for a complete thermal envelope.

Split-Level Homes (New Dorp, Grant City, Oakwood)

Split-level homes are common throughout mid-Staten Island. These homes have unique insulation challenges because of their multiple roof levels and varying ceiling heights. Our team has extensive experience insulating split-levels, ensuring every level is properly covered.

Raised Ranch Homes (Annadale, Huguenot, Prince’s Bay)

Raised ranch homes have living space above a partially above-ground basement. The basement walls, garage ceiling, and main living area all need proper insulation. We insulate the basement walls with spray foam or rigid foam, the attic with blown-in insulation, and the exterior walls with dense-pack cellulose.

Newer Construction (Bulls Head, New Springville)

Even relatively newer Staten Island homes often have less insulation than current standards recommend. We upgrade attic insulation to R-49, add wall insulation where missing, and seal air leaks to bring these homes up to modern efficiency standards.

Our Insulation Process

Every project starts with a free home energy assessment. We use thermal imaging cameras to visualize heat loss and blower door tests to measure air leakage. This shows us exactly where your home is wasting the most energy.

We then create a custom insulation plan for your home. Most Staten Island projects include wall insulation (dense-pack cellulose), attic insulation (blown-in cellulose or spray foam to R-49), and air sealing throughout the home. We protect your belongings, complete the work in 1-3 days, and leave your home clean.
