Insulating your home leads to year round comfort. It helps keep cool air inside in the summer and warm air inside in the winter. Plus, insulation and air sealing make it harder for creepy crawlers to make their way into your home 🕷️

Check out how this family insulated their old farm home ⬇️⬇️

State-of-the-art insulation and air sealing can be applied to even the oldest homes in Vermont. The result? Homes that are drier, warmer, and less stinky.

Programs such as this one are crucial to maintaining Vermonts old housing stock, keeping Vermonters in their homes, and expanding the climate workforce. Weathering homes also helps Vermonters save money on keeping their home comfortable year round. We hope to see more of these programs across VT!
