Weatherization / Conservation
Air-sealing products | Pipe insulation | Rain barrels | Home composting
Homeowners interested in making their homes more energy efficient should take a look at air sealing and insulation projects that have relatively low cost, can often be done yourself, and will pay for themselves quickly in reduced energy costs. Water-saving products can pay for themselves in reduced water bills.
Air sealing and insulation have been compared to a windbreaker and a sweater. Air sealing, the “windbreaker,” stops the flow of air through gaps and cracks, keeping warm air inside your home and reducing uncomfortable drafts. Insulation is the “sweater” that reduces heat being lost by conduction from ceilings, walls, and pipes.

Pipe insulation
A great deal of heat can be lost between a home's boiler and its living spaces. If you have a warm basement, pipe insulation will help reduce your heating costs by keeping the heat in your pipes until it arrives at your radiators. Our 1"-thick fiberglass insulation is beefier than that found elsewhere. It has an outer foil jacket and comes in 3-foot lengths in a variety of diameters. You can borrow our pipe gauge to measure and order correctly, as pipe sizes are measured by internal diameter. For steam or hot-water heating systems.
