Attics and More Weighs in on Redfin’s Roofing Materials Report

HADDON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (May 2, 2022) — As countless locals already attest, the team at Attics and More are some of the most knowledgeable in the industry. Now, that status has been recognized by the writers at the Redfin blog, a premier source of information about buying, selling and renting homes.

Attics and More was recently brought in as an expert source to collaborate on Experts Weigh In: What Is the Best Roofing Material for Your Home?, a post recently published on Redfin.com.

Owner, Michele DuCoin, said being cited in the article is a testament to Attics and More’s dedication to using the latest technology and methods: “It’s a tremendous honor for Attics and More to be chosen by Redfin as a reliable source of industry expertise,” DuCoin said. “Being a one-stop shop for attic needs requires a surprising amount of information in order to be successful, and the entire company takes pride in knowing about and implementing the latest innovations in the industry.”

DuCoin added: “Our many satisfied customers and glowing reviews were a local reflection of our dedication to being the best in our industry. Now, the level of ability and service is growing to a much larger, more national audience. We are thrilled to be counted among Redfin’s trusted industry insiders.”

While Attics and More is centrally located in New Jersey, their partnerships with other experts across the U.S. means their proprietary, innovative and eco-technologies are utilized country-wide.

“We started out with a very narrow focus on attic insulation and ventilation. Over time, we’ve grown a lot, and a big part of that is thanks to our partners, including experts in roofing. We know that there is a direct relationship between an attic and other elements of a building’s envelope. Continuing to educate others in the space on the opportunity to build healthier roofing systems by not neglecting the attic is something we’re really passionate about. With support from recognized brands like Redfin, we’re confident we’ll continue to make a positive global impact.”

Attics and More Renews Membership with Energy Efficiency Alliance of New Jersey  

Attics and More continues its advocacy for energy-efficient legislation by renewing its membership with the Energy Efficiency Alliance of New Jersey (EEA-NJ). 

 

Attics and More Renews Membership with Energy Efficiency Alliance of New Jersey

Haddon Township, NJ – (January 25, 2021) Attics and More, an accredited residential insulation, ventilation and home improvement company operating in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, has renewed its membership with the Energy Efficiency Alliance of New Jersey (EEA-NJ). 

Through its EEA-NJ membership, Attics and More will continue to advocate for energy efficiency legislation, regulations, and policies in New Jersey. Attics and More will leverage the abundant resources provided through EEA-NJ to further establish themselves as ambassadors for long-term, transformative clean energy solutions in the home improvement industry.

“We are excited to progress into 2021 alongside EEA-NJ as leading energy-efficiency advocates in our state,” Michele DuCoin, President of Attics and More, said. “New Jersey deserves clean energy solutions, and our residents and homeowners deserve the tools to make their homes as energy efficient as possible. In that goal, our partnership with EEA-NJ is a natural fit.” 

The EEA-NJ is the state of New Jersey’s trade association for the energy efficiency industry. EEA-NJ comprises seventy-five companies, ranging from small local firms to large multinational corporations. They engage members and key policymakers in support of an industry that accounted for nearly 38,000 New Jersey jobs in 2019. The policies EEA-NJ promotes at the state and local level expand the market for energy efficiency and help keep clean energy solutions as a focal point for the future of New Jersey. 

The membership renewal comes fast on the heels of operational growth from Attics and More, who recently opened its Pennsylvania office location in Reading. As Attics and More continues to expand throughout the Delaware Valley region, they will continue to promote energy efficient practices wherever they serve homeowners. 

“We provide energy-efficient products to homeowners because we seriously care about creating an energy-efficient future,” Ed DuCoin, CEO of Attics and More, said. “Our customers love knowing they work with someone who cares about the big picture. In the short term, we create cost savings for homeowners with our products, and in the long term EEA-NJ helps build a better society that promotes energy efficiency. In the end, we all benefit, and that’s what is most important.”

In 2020, EEA-NJ and its 75 members achieved several landmark accomplishments in their fight for a more energy-efficient future. These accomplishments include the passing of a first-of-its-kind Energy Equity bill  in New Jersey, a $1 billion investment  in New Jersey’s utility-run energy efficiency programs one year after their founding , the defeat of an industrial opt-out bill  in Pennsylvania, and the assurance of no anti-efficiency bills passing in the state legislatures, among many more achievements.

A Survey for Our Delaware Valley Neighbors – Part 2

In our previous blog post, we shared the first half of the results from our poll regarding area homeowners and their attic fans. Today we’re sharing the second half of our poll results along with ideas that will get you thinking about attic ventilation for your home. If you missed out on the first half of our poll results, click to read them here.

9%  I have a solar attic fan – works 365 days a year for free

We are conflicted here. We’re proud but sad that only 9% of respondents have a solar attic fan. We wish it was 99%!! The Department of Energy acknowledges the benefits of attic fans – especially the fact that they help reduce energy costs. Add in lowered energy costs with a federal tax credit for installing a solar attic fan, and you’re really getting the most bang for your buck. We are thrilled for the 9% of Delaware Valley homeowners that are saving serious money and energy.

If you aren’t included in this subset of Delaware Valley homeowners, we suggest that you take a look at our page about solar attic fans. Here you can learn about what you’re missing out on (hint: more money savings and fewer headaches).

9%  Oh that thing – it broke a long time ago…

Out of the hundreds of thousands of households in the Delaware Valley, it’s a shame that 9% of homeowners know their attic fan is broken but haven’t gotten it fixed. Energy Star states that the attic is one of the places where you often find the biggest air leaks, which increase your energy bills and make you uncomfortably hot in the summer and cold in the winter.

A broken attic fan not only puts the well-being of your home and family at risk (this is a huge fire hazard), but it also takes its toll on your wallet and your sanity during the extremes of the Delaware Valley seasons. We’ll come out and inspect your home for free and give you expert advice to optimize your attic – all you need to do is let us know that you need our assistance!

9%  You got me curious, I will contact you for an attic inspection.

This is great! The attic is one of the most forgotten rooms in your home, but it is also one of the most important rooms when it comes to regulating the temperature of your home. Send us a message, call us at 856-809-2744, or attend one of our free dinner presentations. We would love to tell you about the benefits of solar attic fans and help make your home more energy efficient.

0%  No idea if I have a fan or not. Do I need one?

Thankfully, nobody chose this response! If you aren’t sure about the state of your attic, view some of our findings at one of our neighbor’s homes in Cherry Hill. Your attic should be healthy and energy efficient, and free of mold, depleted insulation, exposed electrical wires, and rotting wood. If you find yourself in this category as you’re reading this article, drop us a line! We’ll come out and inspect your attic for free with no pressure – just discussion.
