Dealing with an uncomfortable home is frustrating enough, but when sky-high energy bills get added to the mix, it can feel downright unbearable.

That was the reality of Daniel Mydlowski, a homeowner in Manistee, Michigan. Every room in his house had noticeable drafts, and despite using two additional heaters, he could barely keep the temperature between 50 and 60 degrees. On top of that, his energy costs were through the roof -- with monthly electric bills ranging from $260 to $280 and propane usage nearing 1,000 gallons a year.

It wasn't until a propane delivery day that Daniel saw an advertisement for RetroFoam of Michigan. Intrigued by the promise of a more energy-efficient and comfortable home, he made the call -- and he's never looked back.

"I'm always telling people it's not cheap, but I saved 75 percent off of propane, and my electric bill went down by almost half," Daniel said. "That was in just one year. I probably saved around $1,500 in my first year."

RetroFoam of Michigan Reviews: Daniel Mydlowski Slashes Energy Bills with Foam Insulation

After having foam insulation installed throughout his home, including injection foam in the walls and spray foam in the attic and basement, Daniel saw dramatic results.

Daniel's propane usage dropped by 75 to 80 percent, and his home finally maintained a comfortable, stable temperature in every room.

Even better? After adding foam insulation to his home, Daniel has had to use his furnace even less.

"I've just been beyond impressed with the results of having everything done," Daniel said. "Now my attic can be used for storage because the temperature stays balanced. I've just been so pleased with the result."
