Bauer Specialty Insulation & Gutters

1. Save Energy = Save Money

Insulation is an investment, literally, with a rate of return. It pays for itself with the dollars it saves.

Simple Payback is how many years it will take for the annual savings to equal the initial investment. The shorter the payback, the more cost effective the measure. 

• Simple Payback = Cost of Improvement / Annual Savings

Rate of Return is equivalent to earning interest on money you've put into an account or investment.

• Rate of Return = Annual Savings / Cost of Improvement

Savings to Investment Ratio answers the question, "For every dollar I invest today, how many dollars will I save if I install the measure?" An SIR greater than 1 indicates the investment returns more than it costs. An SIR of 2.22 means the measure returns over two dollars for every dollar invested (in present day dollars).

• SIR = (Annual Savings x Life Cycle of Measure) / Cost of Improvement

If you have a drafty home, rooms that are too hot or cold, or high energy bills - all are common clues you need improved insulation and air sealing.

Insulation is one of the few home improvements that actually pays you back. Like other improvements it gives you an immediate return – increased comfort so you can enjoy your home year round. But insulation also pays you a second way. There’s a real return on your investment due to the energy dollars it saves you from the moment the job is complete. A home that’s properly insulated and air sealed will require less energy to heat and cool. Saving you money each time the cost of energy goes up.  

Think about the price of utilities over the years. Which way do they trend? Upward. So money you invest today in making your home energy efficient will yield greater and greater returns as costs rise. We all cringe when we hear rates are going up. But knowing your home is properly insulated will give you the satisfaction that your pay back period is shrinking.

• When you’d like to improve the comfort in your home – for all seasons.
• To correct certain moisture problems that lead to mold, mildew and rot.
• When you want to increase the value of your home.
• When your current insulation looks like any of these…
• When you see these sort of things on the outside of your home…
• Whenever you’re doing a renovation or remodeling project that exposes insulation and allows for the proper detailing to be done. Roofs walls floors crawlspaces.

Once your contract is in place it goes to our production manager who reviews it and will then fit it into our schedule of installs. We have crews for each product so an experienced person is on site at all times. The crews are also cross trained on our products so they can work with one another to help get your project done as efficiently as possible.

You will be given a call in advance to set the date and time for your installation.

A poor insulation job can lead to many problems that will affect not only occupant comfort and expenses to heat and cool a building but also health issues and longevity of the building.
