WHAT MAKES OUR COMPANY GREEN!
|
|
There are many different aspects to our company and everyday operations that make us GREEN!
We at Ozark's Modern Insulation and Leadbelt Stove & Fireplace work in several different ways to make sure that our business helps to keep the environment clean and GREEN!
- The Cellulose insulation that we use is made from 100% recycled paper. It is manufactured with a few additives that make it able to be applied either as loosefill in attics and closed wall cavities or damp sprayed into open wall cavities. Due to its 100% recycled content and extremely high thermal and sound performance, Cellulose is an environmentally-preferred product!
- Each year at Ozark's Modern Insulation, we use between 300 and 350 TONS of recycled paper in our everyday installations. This means we are turning waste into a premium product that serves a great purpose for our customers.
- Also, the Cellulose products that we use, in contrast to many others in the industry, have no harmful additives, such as ammonium sulfate.
- Another way we help to keep the environment GREEN, is by offering alternative energy sources such as our wide variety of high-efficency wood burning appliances. There are two reasons that make the use of these units GREEN:
- The fuel used (wood) is a completely renewable resource, meaning it can be replenished over time. This cuts down on the use of fossil fuels!
- In turn, this cuts down on the Earth's pollution!
These are just a few of many ways our company strives to maintain a healthier environment!

WHY INSULATION IS A GREAT INVESTMENT!
Unlike investing your money in a risky stock market, investing in products and services to make your home more energy efficient pays significant dividends over a lifetime. The following is a list of some of the benefits insulation brings to your home:
- Greater comfort in your house.
- Even temperature distribution throughout the house.
- Improved acoustics in rooms and from room to room.
- Better moisture control, which can reduce floor squeaks, drywall cracks, structure damage, and condensation.
- Potential for increased resale value: Installing proper insulation levels can also make your home more attractive to potential buyers. In fact, most buyers list energy-efficiency as a prime consideration. The reason? Buyers know they can buy a more expensive home if heating and cooling bills can be kept down.
- A more environmentally friendly home.
- Lower energy bills - unless your home was constructed with special attention to energy efficiency, adding insulation is almost guaranteed to reduce your utility bills.
- 60% of the existing homes in the United States are not insulated even up to standard.
- According to a study done by Harvard University's School of Public Health, 60% of the existing homes are likely to use more energy than newer homes, leading to very high heating and air-conditioning bills.
- Even if you own a new home, adding insulation may save enough money in reduced utility bills to pay for itself within a few years and will continue to save you money for as long as you own the home.*
