Episode 2: Insulation - Keeping Warm & Keeping Costs Low

"The home is essentially the Yeti cooler." In this episode of "A Very Fine House," Pete and Marty, The Home Energy Pros, dive deep into the topic of insulation. They discuss the challenges of dealing with a cold and drafty home, especially in Northeast Ohio where spring can bring unexpected snowstorms. They emphasize that insulation is a year-round concern and not just for the winter months. Marty shares his experience of working with thousands of customers and how he prioritizes individual situations before making an assessment of a home heating concern.
