Comfort isn't always the biggest issue homeowners face -- sometimes, it's the shock of high monthly energy bills.

We hear it a lot here at RetroFoam of Michigan. Homeowners are tired of paying exorbitant amounts to heat and cool their homes and are looking for solutions.

Thankfully, one homeowner took his wife's advice to take a chance on foam insulation.

The Hamiltons' High Energy Bill Struggles

Scott Hamilton and his wife Tina had tried everything imaginable to lower their costly heating and cooling bills.

While drafts were noticeable through their walls, the main issue remained their monthly expenses.

"Our heating bill was over $300 a month," Scott said. "We don't pay over $130 now. That's a lot of savings."

Deciding on Foam Insulation

Tina suggested that they explore foam insulation.

Initially skeptical, Scott decided to trust his wife's instincts.

"I was skeptical. I didn't want to do it, but my wife did," Scott explained. "She was telling me it looked like a good idea and could save us money, and that's what we were looking to do -- save some money."

Now, Scott is grateful Tina convinced him to reach out to RetroFoam of Michigan.

Significant Energy Savings and Improved Comfort

RetroFoam of Michigan insulated the walls and crawl space of the Hamiltons' home.

Just by addressing these two critical areas, their heating and cooling expenses dropped by more than 50 percent. Another significant improvement Scott noticed was the overall comfort inside their home.

"You could feel the drafts in the house," Scott said. "You don't feel those anymore. It's just more comfortable year-round."

Foam insulation uniquely creates an effective air barrier, sealing in treated air and keeping outside air exactly where it belongs -- outside. This comprehensive barrier is something traditional insulation methods can't achieve.

Proven Energy Efficiency

Scott also shared that Consumers Energy sent him a letter comparing his home's energy usage to similar homes in the area.

He was astonished to find his home performing about 50 percent better than even a standard energy-efficient home.

Previously, these letters indicated that his energy usage was significantly above average. Now, thanks to RetroFoam of Michigan, he's consistently ahead of the curve.

"Every time I get my electric bill, I think of RetroFoam of Michigan," Scott said.

Bonus Air Sealing Benefit: Pest Reduction

An unexpected bonus of the foam insulation installation has been a significant reduction in household pests.

"I used to get insects in here, and I have had none," Scott added. "That's the added bonus. They can't get in."
