3 Reasons Weatherization is Important for Baton Rouge and New Orleans Homeowners

by Mr Green Jeans Insulation / Monday, 28 August 2017 / Published in Blog

If you live in Baton Rouge, New Orleans or anywhere in southern Louisiana, do you REALLY need to winterize your home?

After all, there’s a good chance you’ll be in shorts at Christmas and maybe even running the AC if you also want a fire!

It’s easy to see how you might think that, but you’d be wrong.

In fact, by NOT weatherizing your home you’re spending more than you need to!

When you trust Mr. Green Jeans to weatherize your Baton Rouge or New Orleans home, we can easily fix common problems that cause energy waste and help you save on your monthly energy bill.

Below are three very good reasons that weatherization is important for Southeastern Louisiana homeowners.

Weatherization Seals Air Leaks in Your Home

No matter how well built your home is, all houses have cracks and crevices.

Your air conditioned air escapes through these holes, causing you to lose that valuable air you are paying to cool to survive these hot Southeastern Louisiana summers.

Weatherizing your home ensures that only the proper, minimal amount of air escapes your home, keeping the air you’ve cooled with your AC unit in your home and away from your attic or the outdoors, where it offers no use to you.

AC Unit Ducts Almost Always Have Some Failures

AC units are meant to last several years. But, portions of it, including the ducts, deteriorate over time, meaning the cool air you are paying for escapes into the attic or underneath your home – wherever your duct unit is located.

By weatherizing your Baton Rouge or New Orleans home, Mr. Green Jeans focuses on ductwork, looking for and fixing leaks so that the air you are cooling stays in your interior living areas – right where you want it.

Weatherizing Your Home Helps Save on Energy Costs

When you have air or duct leaks, you’re pumping cooled down air outside, underneath your home, or into your attic.

What a waste!

Not only that, but because the cool air you want in your living areas is escaping, you’re actually overworking your AC unit, meaning you have a higher electricity bill and are risking a shorter lifetime for the air conditioner.

By weatherizing your home, you can immediately recoup savings on your energy bill, and may even be able to extend the life of your AC unit by not overworking it. What a benefit!

If you’re blasting your AC in the hot Southeastern Louisiana months, or have electricity bills that shock your checkbook, you should look to Mr. Green Jeans to weatherize your home.

Had a great experience with Mr. Green Jeans! My historic home was getting so hot due to a lack of insulation. Terry came out and did an energy audit and made recommendations and gave quotes at different price points. His crews handled the insulation quickly and even came out an extra day when we discovered unexpected obstacles. Highly recommend!

Terry and his crew were very professional. We had insulation added to attic and A/C ducts sealed...the work was exceptional and they left the house as clean as when they arrived. I will definitely use them again.

Terry and his crew are amazing. Terry will come to your location and educate you on how he can help fix your issues. He does not talk down to you nor does he come across pushy. He genuinely cares about helping. His crew comes in and explains everything they will be doing. They are top notch professionals. My personal experience was my attic had major humidity issues which caused the AC and duct work to sweat. We tried everything but could not get it to stop until we met Terry at a home show. He came in and inspected and explained how he could fix our issues and was able to deliver on his promise. Our electric bill prior to having spray foam installed in our attic was averaging $550 per month. Now our bill is less than $200 per month. And we still keep our house at 70 degrees. We even cool our attic during the summer and our bill is still this low. I highly recommend spray foam for your house or business and Terry and his crew to do the work.

We had Mr. Green Jeans spray foam our attic and crawlspace in Mid-City New Orleans. Getting an estimate was easy. The crew was professional and showed up when they said they would. They treated our house well while they were in it. Terry answers any questions you may have and explains the process well and what to expect. Great quality installation! Would highly recommend and use again in the future.

Many thanks to Terry Villar and his crew! Mr. Green Jeans insulation did an outstanding job of helping us create a climate controlled storage room above our garage. Our house was not designed with very much usable storage and Terry's foam insulation transformed our hot and humid garage attic into an extremely comfortable and functional space! From the initial estimate to the final application, Terry and his crew were Top Notch Pros!My wife and I are very pleased with the price and attention to detail that Terry and his crew provide. We highly recommend Mr. Green Jeans Insulation for any renovations or new construction projects you are planning!
