 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott DeWitt is the absolute 100% reason for my review being 5 stars instead of 3. He was a great installer, timely, respectful, genuine, and did the job right. Everything else unrelated to his work wasn’t all that impressive. Thanks Scott for the top tier work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We discovered this company while visiting relatives in Ohio. Since our initial contact to replace two sets of French Doors, the entire process has been exceptional, simple, and the products are of the highest quality (while not the priciest in the market!) No hesitation to recommend this company to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Keith came out to review and quote our project. He was timely and informative. Then Thomas came out to install the windows - he was early (AWESOME), polite, completed the task quickly, and cleaned up after himself. We are happy with our windows too - they look great. We'll definitely work with this team again on our future window projects.

Dealing with a chilly home, uneven temperatures, or drafts as we transition to winter? These are all common signs of an inefficient home. An inefficient home tends to be uncomfortable, has poor indoor air quality, and can pose health risks if left unchecked.

Wondering how to improve the efficiency of your home in Grand Rapids or Wyoming, Michigan? It’s not difficult if you know where to start! The pros at WMGB know all things home efficiency and we’re here to help. Let’s dive into some of our top tips to make your home more efficient.

1. Make Insulation Upgrades

Contrary to popular belief, insulation also helps your home year-round! In the warmer months it will keep heat out of your home’s living areas, and in the colder months it traps your heat inside to keep your rooms consistently cozy and comfortable.

A professional insulation technician will be able to perform a comprehensive assessment of your home’s insulation needs to best determine where new insulation should be installed.

2. Focus on Attic Insulation

Most attics are insulated, but few are sufficiently insulated! By adding insulation to an older home (or replacing damaged insulation), you can drastically improve your insulation R-levels. This can help prevent ice dams (a damaging result of insufficient insulation) in the winter!

Attic insulation can help in the summer months as well. Do you ever deal with a very warm second floor? It’s likely a result of poor attic insulation that can be easily remedied.

3. Embrace Air Sealing

Air sealing uses spray foam insulation to seal normal leaks and gaps in your home where air exchange occurs between your conditioned inside space and the outdoors. Seeing spiders or other pests in your home is a good sign that air sealing will help your home efficiency because these critters come in through the same gaps as the outdoor air!

By cutting down on air leakage, your systems won’t have to work as hard to keep your home comfortable.
