Flint Homeowner Dave Shares His RetroFoam of Michigan Experience: Warmer Walls and Lower Energy Bills


A few months after moving into his newly purchased home in Flint, Dave noticed something unusual about his kitchenware.
"My cups were so cold, I literally had to run them in hot water before I used them in the winter," explained Dave.
Curious about the cause, Dave reached out to the previous homeowner and discovered that the exterior walls still had the original fiberglass insulation from 1965. Over time, fiberglass insulation can break down and lose effectiveness, which led to cold walls and chilly coffee cups for Dave.
After seeing a RetroFoam of Michigan TV commercial, Dave decided to give them a call to find a solution to his uncomfortable home.
Dave had RetroFoam insulation installed in his exterior walls, and the results were immediate.
"The RetroFoam estimator met the challenge," Dave said. "I have warm cups!"
Along with the new insulation, Dave also replaced a broken water heater and upgraded his 17-year-old furnace to a new, high-efficiency model with 95 percent efficiency.
The impact of these energy-efficient upgrades was significant. Dave saw a 40 percent reduction in his energy usage year-round. The combination of an efficient furnace and air-sealed walls helped his home stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer while lowering his energy bills.
"We've recommended RetroFoam to anyone who asks about insulation because it's a good product, and it does exactly what they say it will do," said Dave.
