For three years, the Thrall family struggled with a home that felt as cold as the outdoors during Michigan winters.
Their furnace ran non-stop, gas bills soared, and their Consumers Energy bill was nearly double their mortgage. The home got so cold that Betty Jo couldn't even keep her houseplants alive.
"I thought we were going to have to replace our furnace," Betty Jo said. "It ran non-stop. We would have to have the thermostat on 75 or 80, and it was still cold in here."
But the cold wasn't their only problem -- their home was incredibly noisy too.
Whenever large semi-trucks rumbled by, it felt like they were right in the living room with them. Conversations from outside carried into the house as if the neighbors were standing inside.
That's when the Thralls discovered their home had no insulation in the walls or attic.
With no insulation, their house was freezing in the winter and unbearably hot in the summer. The cold air crept in easily, and the walls were icy to the touch. Despite spending $400 to $500 every month trying to heat and cool their home, they were never comfortable.
"We were going broke just trying to keep the house heated," Betty Jo said.
RetroFoam of Michigan Reviews: Real Results, Real Comfort
Everything changed after the Thralls saw a RetroFoam of Michigan commercial.
They decided to schedule an estimate and soon had their walls and attic insulated with foam -- without tearing their home apart.
Betty Jo was impressed by the professionalism of the RetroFoam crew.
"When they were finished, it was like they were never here," Betty Jo said. "The crews cleaned up after themselves, and it was very apparent that everyone knew exactly what they were supposed to be doing."
But the biggest difference? Their home was finally warm.
"I got up in the morning, and it felt a little chilly. The temperature in here was 69, so I went to turn it up just a little bit, and it was on 50!" Betty Jo said. "I was impressed. RetroFoam made the difference. It would never have gotten that warm in here."
Foam insulation created an air barrier, stopping the frigid Michigan winters from creeping inside. Not only did their home become more comfortable, but their monthly gas bill dropped from $400 to just $180.
"I wish we would have done this when we first moved here," Betty Jo said. "Haven't had a problem after you came out."
