Energy Efficient.
Missoula, Montana has a harsh, cold climate that makes it challenging to build energy efficient, durable, and comfortable homes. Buildings insulated by Montana Energy Services are among the most energy efficient ever built in this area.
It is important to understand that insulation by itself does not stop air movement. An excellent insulation job requires excellent air-sealing in order to be effective. Insulation without good air-sealing is like being out in a blizzard wrapped in a thick blanket that has a lot of holes in it. It won’t keep you warm. On the other hand, air-sealing without good insulation is like being out in a blizzard dressed only in a tightly sealed garbage bag. It won’t keep you warm either. Your insulation contractor has to provide BOTH good insulation AND good air-sealing, and that is the Montana Energy Services advantage.
We understand the need for both and we know how to achieve them in our installations. This makes the buildings we insulate much more energy efficient and saves you more money on utility bills year after year.
Comfortable.
A really well insulated and air-tight building not only saves money, it is more comfortable. Proper air-sealing eliminates drafts that rob you and your home of heat. And well-installed insulation causes the interior surfaces of your home to be warmer in winter and cooler in summer. This feeling of comfort in their homes is something that our customers value at least as much as the energy and money that they save.
Healthy.
Wherever possible we use cellulose insulation which contains no formaldehyde and no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s). Because it is made from natural wood fiber it is also capable of absorbing and releasing impressive amounts of moisture without promoting mold growth. It is also treated with a natural Borate compound that acts as a fire retardant and mold inhibitor.
Well sealed and insulated buildings are healthiest when they are provided with a Heat Recovery Ventilation system. This gives a constant supply of fresh air without losing heat as it recovers the heat from the stale air that is exhausted. We can help you decide whether this is something you should consider for your home and we have extensive experience with designing and installing these systems.
Sustainable.
Our cellulose insulation is made almost entirely from recycled natural fibers. It has the lowest embodied energy of any of the standard insulating materials. It releases no greenhouse or ozone depleting gases. All in all it has a very small environmental footprint which makes it the greenest and most sustainable insulating material available.
There are certain areas of some homes that, for one reason or another, cannot be insulated with blown-in cellulose. In these areas we often use spray foam because it provides the very highest R-values of any of the insulation types available. It is also excellent for air-sealing making it a very energy-efficient insulation product.
Tested and Proven.
We use Blower Door and Infrared Camera testing to verify the quality of our installations. Buildings we have insulated have been tested and proven to be amongst the most energy efficient in our area. All in all, we are the most knowledgeable, careful, thorough, and reliable insulation contractors in the business.
