The Environmentally Friendly Choice Performance. Comfort. Safety. Cellulose
protects the environment. Cellulose insulation is made from 80% post-consumer
recycled materials. Also, manufacturing cellulose uses one-fifth of the energy
required to make fiberglass and generates one-fifth the carbon dioxide (for
typical home, insulated to the same R-value).
ADVANCED ENERGY INSULATION " PAVES THE WAY" TO PROVIDING Relief For Your
Heating and Cooling System
|
NOT ONLY WILL YOU SAVE MONEY ON UTILITY BILLS- your will also save on cost of
original and replacement equipment (since you will need smaller capacity
systems) and maintenance. Cellulose does such a good job protecting your home
from the weather that your heating and cooling system:

- WILL RUN LESS
|
| WILL LAST LONGER |
WILL REQUIRE LESS MAINTENANCE |
ADVANCED ENERGY INSULATION, INC. uses Greenfiber cocoon cellulose insulation
because Greenfiber cellulose is tested and certified in accordance with federal
regulations and ASTM Standard C 739-91 to be non-corrosive. This reassurance
gives homeowners a peace of mind that is absent with other insulations that are
untested and unregulated.
