Retex Featured in Redfin Article: “How To Be More Environmentally Friendly At Home”

Guess what? We were featured in Redfin's article on “How to Be More Environmentally Friendly at Home” !!

It’s becoming increasingly crucial for homeowners to do their part in fighting climate change. However, most people struggle to make a meaningful change because they simply don’t know where to begin.

You may be wondering how you can be more environmentally-friendly at home. While a lot of factors are out of our control, simple changes at home can decrease greenhouse gas emissions and reduce your carbon footprint. And buffing up your attic insulation is one of the easiest ways to do so.

Redfin asked us, along with other experts from Tampa, FL, to Sacramento, CA, to share how homeowners can be more environmentally friendly at home.

Here’s what our CEO & Founder Josh Lewis had to say:

“One way to become more environmentally friendly at home is to install additional insulation. It keeps the heat from escaping, therefore keeping you from having to put on extra layers or adjust your home’s thermostat.

Likewise, by acting as a passive barrier for heat transfer, the proper amount of insulation helps your HVAC system reduce its workload in maintaining your home’s set temperature. This decreases energy usage and money spent on your utility bills. You’ll get the most return on your investment and ease of installation from increasing your attic or crawl space insulation, as 85% of your home’s heat tries to escape through your roof.”
