How Home Insulation Reduces Energy Waste in Baltimore Rowhomes
Good insulation in walls and attics keeps heat inside during those cold February nights. It helps your furnace run less often. You can lower your monthly BGE gas or electric bills by 20 to 30 percent with the right insulation. Rowhomes in Canton and Fells Point often have no insulation in shared walls. This causes heat to escape through the walls you share with neighbors on each side.
We install blown-in cellulose or spray foam insulation in walls and attics. This creates a barrier that stops warm air from escaping between floors. Your home stays warmer in every room. Your heating system does not work as hard during those bitter cold snaps off the harbor.
Baltimore rowhomes built before 1960 usually have little or no wall insulation. Adding insulation to outside walls and party walls stops energy waste. You do not need major construction work. You spend less on heating bills and feel more comfortable during cold months. Learn more about our insulation contractor services in Baltimore.
Air Sealing Stops Drafts and Moisture Problems in Older Baltimore Properties
Air sealing stops drafts near windows, baseboards, and attic doors all year long. It keeps that thick summer humidity out during July and August. It stops warm air from leaving during January and February. You feel more comfortable and spend less on BGE bills when air leaks are sealed.
Baltimore’s brick rowhomes and older Formstone houses settle over time. This creates gaps around door frames and foundation joints. These gaps are common in neighborhoods from Hampden to Highlandtown. We use spray foam and caulk to seal these openings. This stops air from moving in and out.
Drafty homes work harder to stay warm or cool. Your furnace or air conditioner runs longer when air leaks in and out. Sealing leaks helps your equipment last longer. Your home feels comfortable whether you’re dealing with an Orioles game day heat wave or a Ravens game day freeze.
Attic Insulation Upgrades Lower Cooling Costs During Maryland Summers
Adding or replacing attic insulation blocks heat from coming down into your home. This keeps upstairs bedrooms cooler during those muggy Baltimore summers. It also helps your air conditioner work less when temperatures climb into the 90s. You pay lower BGE electric bills when your AC does not run all the time.
Baltimore’s hot, humid summers make attics unbearably hot. Attic temperatures can go above 130 degrees. Good insulation and airflow are important for homes in Hampden and Mount Washington. We install blown-in fiberglass or cellulose insulation. We can install it at different levels based on your attic space and budget.
Second-floor rooms that stay hot even with the AC on need attic upgrades most. This is especially true in rowhomes where heat has nowhere to go. The insulation creates a barrier between your rooms and the super-hot attic. Your bedrooms feel cooler. You spend less on cooling costs each month.

Duct Sealing and Insulation Improve HVAC Performance in Baltimore Homes
Sealing and insulating ducts stop cooled or heated air from escaping. This makes your system work better. It also improves the air quality inside your home. You get better airflow to every room. You waste less energy from leaky ducts.
Many Baltimore rowhomes have ducts that run through unheated basements or damp crawl spaces near the foundation. This causes energy loss and moisture problems during heating season. We seal duct joints with mastic. We wrap ducts in insulation to stop air leaks and heat loss.
Weak airflow in some rooms or dusty vents mean you have duct problems. Sealing leaks helps your HVAC system send the right amount of air to each room. Your heating and cooling equipment works better. Your home stays comfortable with no hot or cold spots from Federal Hill to Roland Park.
