How Energy Efficient Upgrades Can Save You Money All Year Long

At Bruin, we love helping homeowners save money in the long-term with energy efficient upgrades to their homes. From insulation to new windows and doors, here's how an investment in one or two upgrades can save you money all year round.

Increase Energy Efficiency with Additional Insulation

Insulation is one of the easiest ways to increase energy efficiency in your home. Did you know that heating and cooling account for up to 70 percent of the energy your home uses? Not only does insulation help keep heat in your home over the winter, it helps keep cool air in during the summer months.


If your home was built before 1970, your home likely has minimal wall insulation. But even newer homes can be lacking in the insulation department. At Bruin, we offer several different insulation solutions to fit any need and budget. Our blown-in insulation is perfect for filing wall cavities, unfinished attic floors, and irregularly-shaped areas that are hard to access. Our cellulose insulation is another great choice for unfinished attics, as is blown-in fiberglass insulation. New insulation provides an immediate increase in energy efficiency and comfort to your home. Plus, you'll reap savings on your energy bills all year round.

Windows Are Great Energy Efficient Upgrades

New windows are an investment in the comfort and efficiency of your home. Once you upgrade your home's windows to more energy-efficient models, you'll notice an immediate decrease in your home's draftiness, especially in winter. You may also notice that your home is quieter, as windows provide great sound insulation.


Bruin is the Metro West's provider of replacement windows. Our talented team will help you select the windows that are the right fit for your home and provide professional installation. We partner with the most trusted brands on the market to ensure your windows will provide the energy efficiency you're looking for. Like insulation, new windows will provide energy bill savings for years to come.

Energy Efficient Doors Help You Save, Too

The exterior doors at your home can provide additional energy efficiency and cost savings. At Bruin, we often recommend Therma-Tru entry door systems to our customers. All of the elements of a Therma-Tru system work together to provide outstanding energy efficiency while increasing the curb appeal of your home. Therma-Tru doors have the look of wood, but are actually fiberglass hulls filled with polyurethane foam. This is how they provide superior energy efficiency, saving you money in the long-run. 

We partner with the best manufacturers in Massachusetts

At Bruin, we can help you save money all year long with energy efficient upgrades. If you're considering upgrading your home's insulation, windows, or exterior doors, contact us today for a free consultation.
